Best location in the whole of Coromandel

If you want to indulge in a central location, be a stone’s throw away from the beach, and have all the amenities you would in your cozy grandma’s/family home, this is the place to be. Everything you need for a beach getaway!

Way better location than what we thought!

This place was amazing and probably one of the best places we’ve stayed. The house had plenty of space for our 4 adults and 4 children and the location was phenomenal. We were right by the beach and there is a small restaurant with great food and a small grocery store right next door. The shops are only a block away and there are other great restaurants in that same area. Rob was a great host and worked with us easily with adding some additional guests last min whose reservations didn’t work out.

Family friendly home near a beautiful beach

This is a solid well built home that is very spacious for family gatherings. It is less than 100 metres to a beautiful beach and next door to a wonderful cafe. There is a walkway adjacent to the beach which also goes by the local marina, very picturesque!. Whitianga is a true beachtown with interesting shops and plenty of things to do on the water.

Liked: Amenities
The house itself was comfortable, but it was quite warm at night. Unfortunately, we were disappointed to find that the owner was turning off the air conditioning at the power when we weren’t at the property, which felt intrusive and unnecessary. More concerningly, the owner entered the house without prior notice, seemingly assuming no one was home. However, one of our group had not gone on the fishing charter and was inside when the owner unlocked and entered the property. This was a significant breach of privacy and left us feeling uncomfortable. Overall, while the accommodation itself was fine, these issues made our stay less enjoyable.

Uk and NZ family holiday

We had a fantastic week! A perfect place for two families. A spacious and well equipped house in a great location for access to beach and to wander around the town with its bars, restaurants and shops. Owner Rob met us when we arrived and was on hand if we needed him, which we didn’t. Loved the outdoor shower - it was definitely the shower of choice!! Would highly recommend! Thank you Rob for everything and the excellent communication regarding questions etc before we arrived.

Great spot

The house worked really well two families. We were stuck inside quite a lot due to rain and the spaceous living room was great for playing board games and watching movies on the couch. The owner greeted us on arrival and gave us useful tips on things to do during our stay. The house is a 3minute walk away from the ferry to Cooks Beach and 2minutes away from the shops- great location. We hope to be back.
