Tairua – Pauanui
Two sister towns on the Coromandel Peninsula’s blessed east coast, share a protected harbour and a luxury lifestyle that befits two of our most favoured holiday resorts.
Whitianga
To say Whitianga, in marvellous Mercury Bay, is a popular seaside holiday resort, is an understatement.
Colville
Colville was once New Zealand’s capital of 1970’s hippy culture and a supply base for numerous alternative lifestyle communes.
Coromandel Town
There’s a lot to be said for hopping off the city treadmill and adjusting to ‘Coro Time.’
Thames
The gateway to the Coromandel Peninsula, Thames, is a pleasant provincial town of 8,000 people.
Paeroa
Paeroa was a thriving port before the vast Hauraki Plains were drained and converted to productive dairying land.
Coromandel Peninsula
The long, humped, misty blue line of the Coromandel Range on the eastern horizon, may seem unprepossessing at a distance. But to many outdoor lovers it signifies red-letter days in the sun.
