NEARBY ATTRACTIONS

WATERFALLS

The tramp to this stunning waterfall is located just a 5 minute drive from the Bach.  The leisurely return walk takes about 2 hours round trip, passing abandoned mine shafts and beautiful native bush.  Or if you would prefer, there are several horsetreks througjout the region.

OPOUTERE

To the right is the incredible view of Opoutere from atop a costal mountain peak.  A great spot to kayak the estruary and see native bird colonies, spot New Zealand's famous glowworms along the highway, or just enjoy the beach.

HOT WATER BEACH

Speaking of the beach... winter or summer Hot Water Beach helps overcome any aversions you may have to getting your feet wet.  Take your spade (or hire one there) just before low tide and dig your own private thermal hot pool. (This pic to the left was taken mid July!!!)

SAILOR'S GRAVE

Along the shores of the Coromandel hide some of the most spectacular beaches in New Zealand.  Sailor's Grave, just north of Tarua is one of the many stops where you can find muscles, crabs and other spectacular shellfish along the rocky points between secluded beach inlets.+
