We had a truly wonderful stay with Joanne and Frank. Their guest suite is beautifully decorated, has a big comfy bed and everything you could want for a stay. There are lots of thoughtful touches throughout, especially in the fridge! Joanne’s homemade yoghurt and jams are amazing. Their home in Cooks Beach is a great place to base yourself for adventures in the Coromandel. Close to Hahei Beach, Cathedral Cove and Hot Water Beach (must do’s), and not too far from Coromandel Town itself if you are doing the Coastal Walk like we did (stunning).
The view from the patio is lovely and it’s a 2 minute walk to a stunning and secluded beach which was virtually empty. It was lovely to chat to Joanne and Frank, and their fab local tips helped us maximise our time in Cooks Beach. Especially how they made sure we caught the (1 minute) nearby passenger ferry (a fun activity in itself!!) over to Whitianga where there is a beautiful marina and lots of restaurants.
Nothing was ever a problem and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. We wish we could have stayed longer!! Thank you both.
