    We were down for a funeral so did not get time to explore what was on offer. However we did travel to the waterways and went for dinner with the family and friends who came to the funeral. Lost Springs was the venue which I can imagine would be a very busy place due to the geo thermal spa and restaurant setup they have. Next time we will do the tourist thing which we are very good at!

    We really enjoyed our 1 night stay at this gem of a place, set in a lush forest. The surroundings were idyllic, with beautiful vistas over Whitianga town and beach. The bed was superb and breakfast was amazing - more than we could eat with more than 6 types of fruit, yoghurt, bacon & eggs, and mushrooms and tomatoes, toast...... We've never seen such a variety of teas and coffee on offer! Wish we had had more than 1 night to enjoy Beverley and Dave's wonderful hospitality. 10 out of 10!!

    We joined a cruise to the Cathedral Cove from Whitianga.

    We joined a cruise to the Cathedral Cove from Whitianga. It was very nice and enjoyable. The beach was scenic. It is a small town but with 2 big supermarkets where we can buy fresh local food. It is a long drive from Auckland. It would be easier if there is car ferry from Auckland east to the Coromandel pennisula.

    Whitianga is a beautiful place especially the area we stayed...

    Whitianga is a beautiful place especially the area we stayed in being surrounded by the beach. Everything is close by in walking distance. What a bonus. The people are lovely and friendly. We tried the Slice slice baby - pizza place because we seen a lot of people going in and out and now we know why! We also had fish and chips from the shop just next to the pizza and by far the best fish and chips I've had. Fresh and tasty.

    Small town but had most things you would want access to.

    Small town but had most things you would want access to. Lovely beach and it had a lovely peaceful feel about it. Enjoyed dining at Stoked Bar and Grill. Had a great vibe and was across from the beach.

    Our favourite activity was going on a Cathedral Cove Coast and cave tour with mercury Bay discoveries. Highly recommend getting out on the water. We enjoyed a dinner at Grace O'Malleys, generous meals at a reasonable price, with a beautiful view. We enjoyed the closeness to other beaches eg Hahei, Cooks Beach. We enjoyed taking the ferry across to Ferry landing to explore Flaxmore Bay and other landmarks. Great Mini Putt golf course , very well kept.

    The unit was sparkling clean. I enjoyed sipping coffee from the balcony. We woke up early to watch the sun rise and even made time to slip into the hot tub. We did not cook outdoors, but noted the gorgeous table for alfresco dining. We opted for the Whitianga restaurants which were a short drive away. The proprietors left us a shallow container of water to rinse our feet before entering the unit. Great idea! When we checked in, we appreciated advice about visiting Driving Creek Railway, a narrow gauge railway constructed by a potter.

    Lovely clean apartment that met all of our needs. We would most definitely stay here again. The back bedroom had an annoying quirk that as it had no headboard. When you slept you hit the blind with your pillows which knocked against the windows which woke us up at times, however, it was a very small annoyance in comparison with the fantastic apartment, amazing view and great position of Crows nest apartments. We were definitely impressed with the whole accommodation and would definitely stay here again.

    Everything was just so immaculate. I felt like I was staying at a 5 star hotel, yet it was much more homely than that. The breakfast was fantastic, I had bacon and eggs tomato and mushroom and toast there was lots of it and cooked to perfection. The hosts were so helpful, friendly and had interesting and informative conversation. I dont think I have had a better overnight stay before!

    Perfect luxury rainforest retreat: lovely secluded but only a short drive away from the Coromandel East Coast highlights. Lots of things to do on the property for a relaxing day (rainforest walks, hammocks by the river, rainforest bubbel bath, skygazing spa, glow worm night walk, ...) Delicious breakfast with lots of local and home made produce.

    Can't fault the accommodation! Peaceful stay in a clean and modern gated apartment complex! The kitchen is fully stocked, TV has all the options, great view of the boats on the water, pool + large spa were also a highlight. All the adjoining apartments were quiet and peaceful. Will definitely be coming back

    Perfect location for a relaxed break. Fun water taxi over to Whitianga which had plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. The hosts were super helpful and gave us some great recommendations. Great location to pop to cathedral cove and hot water beach. Would love to return for another stop over.

    Evolve Bach was a lovely place to stay during our visit to Whitianga. We walked everywhere we needed, grocery, laundry mat, restaurants and more. It was an easy drive to Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove. Our host was responsive to inquiries and made our stay most enjoyable.

    Exceptionally clean. The house has a good size of living, bedroom and toilet. It also comes with top grade coffee. The bed is so comfortable. The host, Jennie, is so detailed with the instructions to ensure we have a good stay. Better than a 6 stars hotel

    Nice view looking out over the water, there was only one road between the hotel and the beach. The road was noisy at times but once the windows were closed you couldn't hear anything. Very close to Whitianga township.
