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."

Beachside Resort Whitianga

10/10 Excellent

"It was so nice to stay in a place where it exceeds your expectations. The room that we had was really nice, big & very clean The hot swimming pool (which was also very clean), we had it to ourselves when we were there. They have very helpful & accommodating staff too. And their place is very close to its local shops & restaurants which s a bonus."

Bailey's At The Beach Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic family weekend stay at Baileys at the Beach in Whitianga. The room was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location is absolutely perfect. The beach is literally right on your doorstep, making it easy to enjoy morning walks and sunset views. The town centre is just a short stroll away, with plenty of great cafés, restaurants, and eateries to choose from. It's also an excellent base for exploring the Coromandel. We were able to easily visit popular attractions including Coromandel Town, Hahei Beach, Hot Water Beach, and Cathedral Cove, all within a short drive. What really made our stay special were the hosts. They were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. If you're looking for comfortable accommodation in a brilliant location with genuinely awesome hosts, we highly recommend Baileys at the Beach. We would happily stay again!"
