Whitianga is a popular holiday destination located on the Coromandel Peninsula. It is the gateway to some amazing beaches and scenery. Wandering the shops is a good start and if you get a bit peckish head to one of many delightful eateries whether it's a pie and donut, or a sit-down lunch with a cold beverage. There are plenty of options. There is plenty to do for the kids as well with mini golf, movies, an awesome skatepark and kids' playground, and of course, there is the Mercury Bay Museum. For adults, a trip to the Lost Springs Thermal Spa and Hot Pools is a great way to spend a couple of hours relaxing in tropical surroundings. If you make your way to the wharf you can catch the passenger ferry to Ferry Landing & take a walk over to Front Beach. Tour boats also leave from the wharf which can show you around the area and stop close to Cathedral Cove within the Marine Reserve, watch the fish, go for a snorkel, or take a cave tour. If fishing is your idea of a good time, there are plenty of Charters that can take you out. Or you could take a drive out to Hahei. From here you can take the 40-minute walk to world-renowned Cathedral Cove, or you can head to the beach where there is a water taxi that can take you. Hot Water Beach is not to be missed. At low tide dig a hole and you will have your own hot pool! Spades can be hired from the local store.
The cabin features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The cabin also includes a fireplace.

Tranquil hideaway
Off-the-beaten path, but within minutes of downtown Whitianga. Nice neighborhood, quiet and secluded - no need to lock, just get up and go! On property hosts , Mel & Nudge were very pleasant to deal with.

Relaxing couples retreat
My partner and I absolutely loved our stay at the Coast Bayview Sanctuary in Whitianga. We were lucky enough to be the second guests to stay at the property! The furniture and amenities were curated so beautifully, with a great selection of kitchenware, robes, lotions, candles, body oils and even fresh eggs from the hosts chickens. The fire pit and fire place created a great atmosphere. Such a nice getaway in the coromandel!
