The hosts were lovely and the room was super clean and tidy and new. We were recommended by our hosts to visit The Lost Spa over in Whitianga which was amazing.
Cooks Beach has one small Town Centre road with a couple shops which in the off season are only open for a few hours. There is a ferry which you can take over to Whitianga was super convenient and has lots of shops, bars and restaurants and a couple supermarkets. It’s a good way to get supplies that you can’t get in Cooks Beach. Would highly recommend this place. It was perfect for what we were looking for.
