My family and I chose Whangamatā as our base while exploring the Coromandel Peninsula. Faye was an exceptional host and very responsive. We particularly loved her restaurant recommendation for Rassasy! Self check in was easy and the apartment is a short walk from the beach, where you can watch the sunrise. The first floor is a one car garage with a bathroom and laundry machines, second floor is the two bedrooms and bathroom, and third floor is the kitchen / dining / sitting room. A good choice for those looking for a quiet place to rest.
