We really enjoyed our stay. The house is big and spacious. More than enough room for three adults and a child. It was clean and comfortable with all that you needed. The reserve nearby is great for kids. Rope swing was the favourite part for my daughter. Whitianga is a lovely base to explore Coromandel yet you could stay put and relax too. Hot water beach and Cathedral Cove further south were very busy. It must be manic over summer but there are so many places to explore. Overall gorgeous spot in NZ.
