Waihi is located on New Zealand's North island, at the base of the Coromandel Peninsula, at the western end of the Bay of Plenty.  The nearby coastal resort town of Waihi Beach is just a 6 mile drive away and to the west of the town are the hills of the Kaimai Ranges.  Due to it's location, it is an ideal stop between Auckland and Tauranga, Rotorua or if visiting further up into the Coromandel Peninsula.

The township of Waihi grew up around the gold and silver mining operations, which were started in the area during the late 1870's.  By 1908, it was the fastest growing town on the North Island, and at that time it was three times larger than Hamilton.  Precious metal mining still continues to this day, all be it in a much reduced way.

Now Waihi is a pleasant little town offering numerous choices of accommodation, to suit all tastes and budget, and plenty of varied restaurants, charming cafes and many shops to investigate.

Activities in the area concentrate on outdoor pursuits, such as walking and hiking, fishing, several railway and mining museums, gardens and parks to visit, mountain biking and golf.
