The experience continues on the private deck. It offers comfortable bean chairs and a fire pit. Imagine sitting out there under the vast night sky. Looking at the stars is a relaxing way to end your day. Treat your loved one and book Bayview Sanctuary today.

Are you feeling adventurous? Catch the passenger ferry to Ferry Landing. You can also take a tour boat to explore Cathedral Cove. Dig your own hot pool at Hot Water Beach. Or, enjoy snorkeling in the Marine Reserve. Check out our other holiday listings today. Your host, Maree, is ready to help you discover the coast.
A Little Note About Nature 🌿
Bayview Sanctuary is tucked right into the heart of the bush, so you’ll wake to birdsong and might spot some local wildlife dropping by to say hello. With the big doors open, the outdoors can occasionally wander in too — a curious bug or two, or a tiny bush visitor making a surprise appearance. It’s all part of the authentic Kiwi bush experience!
If you’d rather keep your guests on the human-only list, simply slide the screens or doors closed and enjoy the serenity.

Beautiful property, so close to town, but hidden away in the hills. Stunning outlook with both rural views and views over Mercury Bay. A quiet and tranquil retreat. Highly recommend.

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!
