Coromandel Seaview Motel is situated between the mountains and the sea of the Coromandel Peninsula. It is close to renowned saltwater fishing and a number of outdoor activities.

All of the spacious, refurbished rooms have a balcony and a private BBQ free parking on site. Wonderful gem of a place. The location is spectacular and Kim and Gail very warm and welcoming. We stayed in the 2 bed spa apartment with our son between Christmas and New Year. Everything was spotless, beds very comfortable. We made good use of the sparkling clean spa and did an evening BBQ every day just soaking up the wonderful views of the bay from our deck. Nice walk down to Long Bay Beach from the apartment and we loved the zip line experience at Driving Creek. Could not recommend this place more highly!! Thanks Gail and Kim

The holiday home offers rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. As a solo traveler I felt very safe in this cottage located within a farm. The range of nearby activities (Hobbiton, Maungatautari forest walks) was excellent. I will definitely visit again!
