Featuring quiet street views, Cathedral Cove Apartment offers accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 500 metres from Hahei Beach. Housed in a building dating from 2010, this apartment is 1.3 km from the Cathedral Cove. The apartment also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. The hosts, Ray and Ngairene, were wonderful. A charming and very helpful couple. Ngairene met me on arrival and gave me a tour of the apartment. On two occasions, my hosts gave me a ride to the Cathedral Cove trailhead. There is no parking at the trailhead; drop-off only, and this saved me a long, steep hike before tackling the trail. I was allowed to use their laundry facilities, which was much appreciated. Anyone visiting the Hahei area could do no better than to stay at the Cathedral Cove Apartment. Kia Ora!

Tairua Shores Motel enjoys a harbourside location close to the Tairua Wharf, and it takes 2 minutes to drive to the town center or a 10-minute beach walk overlooking Mt Paku and Tairua Harbour. It offers barbecue facilities, laundry services, free on-site parking, free WiFi access, beach towels and shovels. Nicely laid and close to everything we did as well as a 3 minute walk to bakery if you wanted to grab easy food on the way to your activities. The room was very spacious and it was quiet.

Overlooking Thames and featuring beautiful sea views, Grafton Cottage & Chalets offers private chalets. Facilities include an outdoor swimming pool and hot tub.

Situated in a secluded tree-lined setting far from traffic noise, these chalets are ideal for discovering the Coromandel Peninsula's stunning coastline, beautiful beaches, and diverse arts and crafts. Beautiful room and apartment. Felt homey and unique but still very clean and private. Nice host. I wish we stayed here longer.
