ABOUT

Your Harbourfront Retreat Since 1963

Proudly located in Bowentown, Waihī Beach, the Waihī Beach Bowentown Boating & Fishing Club was first established in 1963. A community organisation, the Clubhouse sits in a pristine, unspoiled location surrounded by harbour views.

Home to a popular restaurant & café, a full bar, and a spacious deck right on the water’s edge, it’s the perfect spot to relax, enjoy the atmosphere, and watch the sunset over the harbour. A free courtesy van is available, making it even easier to enjoy a great night out. Everyone is welcome - members and non-members alike.
