In the meantime, if you haven't...

Good morning Waihī Beach, I need a favour from you please. I'd like you to think about the people who make this place what it is. The small business you keep going back to. The volunteer who quietly work behind the scenes. The tradie who is always at the end of the phone when you need them. Chances are, they've never been formally recognised for it. That is where the Katikati & Waihī Beach Excellence Awards brought to you by Barfoot & Thompson come in. NOMINATIONS OPEN NOW NOMINATE SOMEONE...

Kia ora koutou, Autumn has officially arrived, but with the sun still shining there’s plenty happening around Waihī Beach. A quick note from us: Last weekend’s Community Quest family fun day was a great reminder of what makes this place special.

It was great to see so many locals taking the time to be part of shaping the future of Waihī Beach, Bowentown...
