Coromandel
A boutique lodge in the rainforest near Whitianga, with a night-sky spa and a handful of rooms.
The Coromandel Peninsula, east of Auckland, is a ridge of native bush, with white-sand beaches on the east coast and a quieter west coast facing the Hauraki Gulf. The beaches at Hahei and Cathedral Cove are the highlights, and the small hotels range from a rainforest lodge to treetop cabins and hillside rooms in Coromandel Town.
Choose Whitianga, Hahei or Cooks Beach for the beaches; Coromandel Town for a quieter, more bush-clad base.
Summer is popular and busy, and book accommodation well ahead; one hillside lodge closes in winter. Hot Water Beach is best at low tide.
