Jamie’s bach (kiwi for holiday home) was a great base for our stay in the Coromandel. The waterfront view is genuine, and it was great being footsteps from the beach for our 2 year old to run around to his heart’s content. The Whiritoa community is also very friendly, in particular Jamie’s neighbours that even shared their homegrown cherry tomatoes with us. Beyond the standard Coromandel attractions, we’d highly recommend the Karangahake Gorge Historic Walkway that was a stunning easy walk.
