Luxury Apartment on the Waterfront

Pio Road Apartment is a modern 2 Bedroom apartment situated in the Waihi Beach community. The apartment enjoys stunning waterfront views across the Anthenree Harbour. It is 104 square meters with large glass sliding walls opening out to the deck from the living area, extending the space even further in the summer months.

The apartment is beautifully furnished with high quality furnishings. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Both bathrooms feature wet area showers, toilets and vanities. A third shower is also available outside the apartment for cleaning off after the beach.

The living room and 1 of the upstairs bedrooms is equipped with My Sky boxes with all sky services available.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you are likely to need along with a dishwasher and large fridge. A coffee maker and a stove top espresso maker are available for those of you who like starting the day with a good coffee. A variety of teas and coffees are provided for you to enjoy.

All lighting throughout the property is automatic and will turn on and off as you enter and exit the rooms. Heating is all underfloor and the control panels are throughout the apartment to operate this.

High quality bed linen is provided and beds will be made up prior to your arrival. There are guests towels provided for use in the apartment. You will need to bring your own beach towels.

There is a fully equipped laundry with a washer/dryer.

The boatclub restaurant is a 2 minute walk down the road and can be seen from the balcony. There are many cafes in the town centre but by far and away is the most delightful restaurant The Falls Retreat in the Karangahake Gorge, where you can enjoy a very special setting and a beautiful meal. This is my personal favorite and is a not to be missed if you are from out of town. Waihi Beach shops are a 5 minute drive away where you will find beautiful boutiques and lots of cafe choices.

Throughout the year windsurfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, kite surfing along with many more outdoor water pursuits can be viewed from the deck or for the more adventurous, can be participated in. The beach is a short 2 minute walk across the road behind the apartment. The area is perfect for walking and bike riding. 5 minutes down the road is beautiful Anzac Bay. A great place to go for picnics, swimming and a walk up to the lookout.

The Karangahake Gorge is a 20 minute drive away, where there are many opportunities to walk or bike through old tunnels and discover a mixture of gold mining history and natural beauty.

A beautiful stay and the loveliest host
Jillian has created a beautiful space perfect for a weekend getaway and relaxation. She is a wonderful host and easy to communicate with. We were welcomed with wonderful treats and everything we needed was available. You’ll be spoilt staying here. There are great cafes nearby and if you want somewhere quiet and idyllic then you won’t be disappointed. Looking forward to staying here again in the future.

What a fantastic apartment just steps to the beach. Jillian went above and beyond with all the personal touches, welcome bottle of bubbles, cheese and her homemade plum paste. In the bathroom there were nice packs of face creams etc. Would definitely recommend staying at this apartment

Elegantly styled but not for us
Communications from our host were excellent and there were some thoughtful arrival gifts provided. Parking was easy for 2 vehicles. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and the 2 bathrooms are modern and spacious. There are also lovely views out over the bay, from the living area, balcony and main bedroom. The apartment is decadently furnished with velvet cushions, plush throws and many ornaments, and would not look out of place on a magazine cover. However, the living/dining/kitchen areas are not big and the many staging items took up valuable square footage, making us somewhat anxious moving around in the space. We also found the automated lighting system inconvenient. The lights would turn off after only a short time, even if you were moving around in the kitchen or unfortunately for one of our parties, who found themselves suddenly in complete darkness in the middle of a shower. In addition, we alerted our host to 3 of the 4 ceiling globes which had blown in one of the bedrooms, but with no option to replace them, it was difficult to view our luggage items. The instruction signage above the lighting panels throughout the apartment, warning of loud alarms and a significant fee to cover the call out if we attempted any adjustments, sadly added to our sense of unease. The Hollywood Regency styling presents very well, with the attention to detail likely being appreciated by some. However, none of our group felt like they could relax during our stay

We had a wonderful stay at Jillian’s apartment. First Jillian was exceptional about being in touch before we arrived, while we were there and after. She was very responsive. The apartment was beautiful, very clean and exceptionally well stocked. Jillian added thoughtful nice touches such as welcoming drinks and cheese. The pantry had many extras which were beyond what we expected and made our first few nights in New Zealand wonderful. Would highly recommend it for any couples traveling together. We were four all together. Thanks Jillian for making our stay so fabulous.
