Beachside Resort Whitianga

10/10 Excellent

"The check-in instruction was easy, the room was clean and specious, the location was excellent and the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Only a little thing we struggle with was TV.

Waterfront Apartments Whitianga

10/10 Excellent

"We had an incredible few days in The Coromandel and our apartment at Waterfront Apartments in Whitianga was the perfect base. It was clean and spacious with incredible views. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped, which meant we we were able to cook every night of our stay. Having Sky TV to watch was a real bonus too. The owners couldn't have been more helpful and even took our dried washing to our room while we were out. I recommend this place to anyone visiting this truly beautiful part of the world."

Oceans Resort Whitianga

Grafton Cottage & Chalets

Anchor Lodge Motel Coromandel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hosts. Helpful and friendly. Super clean unites. Nice and warm when we arrived on a pretty grotty night. Walking distance to town. Great experience all round."

Peninsula Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 2 nights in a Superior Deluxe Studio over the weekend. The room was clean, comfortable, well maintained and large for a studio. The kitchenette had all the essentials and had the weather been better we would have enjoyed the deck area. The motel is a 5 min walk to the centre of town which made getting around easy. Relaxed and friendly service from Fred added to our experience. We were very happy with our choice, especially for the price paid."
