Beach Comber Rest

SebastianRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Loved our time in whitianga and our stay in this beautiful air bnb. Modern bathroom, kitchen well equipped + overall very spacious and clean. Comfy bed too! Wendy and Dave were always available when needed and were really kind! Also beautiful beaches and places in the coromandel region to visit in the area. We would always come back!

The view from the property overlooks a calm canal, where several boats are docked at white jetties. Lush greenery surrounds the area, and the sky is clear with minimal clouds, creating a serene atmosphere.

Sailors Rest on Aquila, Whitianga

ValRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Dorothy's lovely spot. It was very peaceful and very homely. Dorothy was just lovely and had a great catch up listening about her life in Whitianga. Had everything we needed, we struck Cyclone Tam, but enjoyed playing games and watching movies. Very close to resturants and grocery shops. Would highly recommend this beautiful spot.

Tropical beach side cottage.

JordanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Our stay at Lynley’s place was absolutely incredible. The entire space was absolutely spotless and well stocked for a comfortable stay. We were able to make ourselves comfortable while on our travels with the beautiful outdoor space, spacious kitchen and living spaces. Sitting in the backyard you feel at peace in a beautifully decorated and private space. There are also great amenities, clean and functional kitchen and bathroom. There is plenty to go and see in the area and a great local town in Thames for shopping and food so it is a great central location for your travels. The hosts were super friendly and made sure our stay was perfect. We cannot recommend Lynley’s place enough, it is a beautiful place which you will find yourself wanting to visit again!

Guesthouse in Coromandel

Luxury Cabin in Coromandel. Stunning sea views.

GuyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

It's hard to put into words how beautiful this location is... breathtaking doesn't do it justice. From check in to check out everything was smooth and friendly. The views are stunning. Short drive to Coromandel village and all the hikes. Bed is crazy comfortable. Explore the property, orchard, garden... it's amazing. Host was so polite they tried to take the blame for rain! Washer/dryer is a game changer after a day of beach and hiking. I arrived a 3/10 on my personal battery and left 10/10. Thank you, if I'm welcome I will be back!

Parkside Glamping Pod - close to our private beach

GinoRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Great value for money, we didn’t have much time and were just passing through the region. For us it was perfect for the night. Nice sunset! A bit warm, but the fan helped in managing that. It fitted perfectly for me (I am 1m83), but if you’re taller then that you’re too tall. They did mention it. Btw, it says no kitchen, but there is a communal one on the park.

Stylish Villa in Heart of Tairua

WilliamRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Clean, quiet and comfortable. This spot is perfect for a couples getaway in this town. Being so close to town everything was a tiny walk away. It definitely felt like a home away from home, the pantry and fridge were stocked nicely and the vibe was just what we needed. Would absolutely recommend if you're looking to explore the town and scenery on foot while also enjoying a peaceful and comfortable home base.

Apartment in Whangamatā

Absolute Beach Front Unit

PeterRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We were looking for a beach property to just wind down for a few days, and we certainly found it. The photos of Robert and Maranda's place on Airbnb say it all, but once you get there, its the 'sound' of the beach that sealed it for us. We simply dropped our bags and went for a walk on the beach. Greeted the next day with an amazing sunrise, right from the door !! Great set up and layout inside. Really comfortable. It just worked for us, and as silly as it sounds, the little night light in the bathroom is brilliant ! Everything local ( shops, cafes, restaurants) is all within easy reach. Robert & Maranda's place is in a great location, with the beach side town of Whangamata a short walk behind you, and that awesome beach & bay right in front of you. Lastly, Robert, cheers for the tip for a great meal out on a Wed night !

CarissaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

WOW!!! What a view!!! We loved our stay here, clean and tidy, and that view is second to none! The only comment I have is about the balcony. It would not comply and would be a huge safety risk for toddlers and young kids. Aside from that, we would highly recommend it!
