Beachfront vacation rentals in Thames-Coromandel District

As a family of 4 including our small dog, we felt at home, loved being on the Matarangi golf course, lake views and easy walkable beach access We made use of the two Trek bikes at the property as well exploring the area. Fully equipped clean kitchen as well as clean bathrooms and linen. The bedrooms are private offering a clever layout throughout. Thanks once again for having us for a short getaway.

Absolutely perfect for us. Get escape away from people and just super relaxing watching the ocean views. The Bach is the typical kiwi bach very easy to feel at home. We will definitely stay again if we can.

David and Lynn are truly delightful! Their accommodations were the perfect place to stay in Tairua. With a warm welcome and a clean, well equipped guesthouse steps from the water we couldn’t have asked for more! We hope to return someday and will recommend their place to others. Thank you for blessing us with your kindness and little slice of New Zealand!

Tim is a wonderful host. On the day of our booking, we encountered bad weather and asked Tim, just hoping for the best, if we could change the date. It was during the busy Easter holiday period, but Tim generously offered us another day, for which we’re truly grateful. We had a very pleasant stay. When we arrived at night, there was a light left on outside the house, which made it easy for us to find. There’s cafe just a minute away, which was really convenient. And in the morning, we were greeted by beautiful scenery.

What a great location with views to die for. We walked up the hill to join the Cathedral Cove walk which was really convenient. Jenny arranged some shovels for us to dig a pool at Hot Water Beach. It was really busy but worth the experience. The property is spacious and well appointed.

Great bach with lots of space, worked for our family group perfectly (including our two dogs - really appreciate you being pet friendly). Liked that the kitchen/lounge area was upstairs to take advantage of the view. Loved the window seat and the outdoor shower was very handy after being at the beach. Proximity to the beach was great too. Responsive comms throughout with the host. Otama Bay is such a special place, we all enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Thiis is a magical place with amazing views and a great location. House was equipped with anything we could need and more. Great coffee, lots of cooking oils and seasonings, comfortable furnishings and a very thoughtful guide book. We can't wait to return. Thank you Karin for being a wonderful host and sharing your home with us!

What a fabulous wee place to stay and in such a lovely and peaceful setting. This place had everything we needed and felt warm and inviting. Highly recommend.

Closely drivable to town for anything you may need, but an amazing view from this side of town! Perfect little place. Well kept and everything you need inside. Would love to come stay again!

Location was fantastic, and the waterfront sunrise view was beautiful, and a great way to start your day! Enjoyed spending time on the porch. Self check in process was easy, and having a dedicated parking spot right at the stairwell was a huge convenience. Amenities were excellent & the space itself was clean and nicely decorated. We also appreciated Donna’s quick responses and willingness to accommodate our needs on short notice. Her hospitality truly made a difference in our experience.

The apartment is spacious and modern with stunning views over the marina. It is well equipped with everything you could need. We received clear instructions making it easy to find and access the property. We had a very enjoyable few days exploring the beautiful coastline around Whitianga.

This is a great location on the canal front with a view straight down the waterway facing north.The property has its own water access boat/jet ski launching ramp and pontoon which is really convenient. The pool ,spa and deck areas get plenty of sun and great views. The house was very tidy and larger than expected with plenty of areas for privacy if anyone needed that. The kitchen is equipped with all thats expected in a home to cook for a family group and theres a second fridge and kitchenette to use which is helpful. We would come back again for sure.

Amy’s house is stunning, the photos don’t do it justice, a really luxurious stay. It is less than a minutes walk on the beach, and the outside shower is a real bonus when coming back sandy, great design!location wise as well as being practically on the beach, all the town cafes and blackies are easily walkable. Outside space is amazing - pool, bar and hot tub, sofa seating all around the house in both sun and shade, and great dining space inside and out. All bedrooms had comfy mattresses and bedding, clean spacious bathrooms. Generous office Desk space and WiFi was strong. Useful to be able to put our bikes in the garage for safety. Amy was responsive and proactive at making sure we had everything we needed for a lovely holiday. Finally, must mention the whole home smells like a luxury resort, together with all the tropical planting outside it was like a holiday somewhere exotic!

Nice room in the lodge. Dishes, silverware and cooking utensils are available for lodge guests. The pool is clean and warm, the kids loved it. 😄 The proximity to the beach is wonderful. The space itself is clean and tidy. Clear recommendation from me!

Nice view and fun glamping pod experience. Slightly close to the next pods but overall would recommend!

Had an amazing time at your beautiful place!! had everything you need for a luxurious stay. highly recommend, will be back! 🙂

Good location and liked being across the road from the beach to go for a swim. Pub short walking distance for a meal. Enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the sun go down. Nice wee place

Lovely modern home on river by beach. Beautiful, quiet. Enjoyed kayaking from house to house wish we stayed longer!

“The Great Escape “ is indeed a great escape !! It has been really really well renovated with quality fixtures and fittings Miles and Gloria are excellent hosts that go the extra mile. If you’re going to Whitianga this is the place to be

Loved our stay! Wonderful location, incredibly clean and tidy and had everything we could have ever needed. The outdoor space was perfect for kids and adults alike. Plenty of room for everyone. Kathryn was incredibly responsive and helpful. Couldn’t recommend highly enough

Location was fantastic! Place was clean and felt safe and private. Sadly it was raining hard during our stay so we were unable to enjoy much of the area. There is a great pizza place not far from the cabin though.

Stayed 2 nights and we wished we stayed longer. Beautiful sitting on the deck chatting with friends overlooking the sea. A beach very close by for a swim. Comfortable beds is always appreciated. We stayed there as we played lawn bowls at Te Puru Thames Coast BC, so this was very convenient for us, would stay there again. very pleased with the

A fantastic find! Really close to the beautiful beach. Nothing like an early morning or sunset stroll. Robyn's place had everything we needed. It was spotless, extremely comfy bed, amazing shower... perfect for the three of us. Thanks so much!

Wow wow wow! What a place! Michelle was incredibly kind and helpful, her place is immaculately clean and beautifully designed. It’s modern, lush, with plenty of light and everything you need. The place feels new and comfortable. There is a quiet river right in the palm tree garden, with kayaks you can use to explore it. Native birds and trees surround the space. The river access is also a minute away from the beach. You can borrow bikes or surfboards, or shovels to dig out the hot springs hidden under the sands! Even though it rained while we were there, it was a highlight for us. Thank you Michelle and James!
