We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Dot who made us feel very welcome without being intrusive in any way. The property was just as described and provided a private and peaceful, self-contained living area as our base to explore the Coromandel peninsula. Finding the location was very straightforward with ample parking always available in the parking bays directly outside. It’s a lovely, quiet residential setting on the waterway and within easy walking distance of the local shops and town. Whitianga itself is a relatively small town with an appealing wharf and beach. We greatly enjoyed having a relaxing breakfast at one of the cafes overlooking the seafront before heading off to start our day. I would be very happy to stay here again and would recommend Dot’s place to anyone visiting the area
