Your holiday home:
This four-bedroom home – three bedrooms in the main home, plus the recently added sleepout with its own bathroom facilities- is a real holiday charmer. The home allows for extended family and friends to come together and enjoy time at the beach.
Inside the home, there are two bedrooms with king beds, and the third has two single beds, with a spare mattress should you need it. The sleepout has bunks, a double down and a single up. This property has a limit of 8 adults.
The home has an open plan kitchen/dining/living area, which opens onto a deck where you find an outdoor table and chairs under a shade sail, and a BBQ.
The property is fully fenced with plenty of grassed area for children to play or ride their bikes. This is a great area to a base yourself while exploring the beaches around the local area or maybe take a trip on the passenger ferry across to Whitianga to enjoy the shops, restock up on groceries and essentials.
Whatever you want to do, Charming on Charles is a lovely comfortable family home to do it from.
Your holiday world:
Cooks Beach is a popular holiday spot not too far from Whitianga with a stunning white sandy beach and sparkling blue water it’s perfect for a morning stroll and swimming. The beach is not patrolled by Surf Lifesavers so always watch the conditions. With Shakespeare Cliff to the west and sheltered Purangi Estuary to the east. Take a walk up Shakespeare Cliff the views are some of the most beautiful you will see. You can also walk down to the beautiful Lonely Bay with its large limestone boulders and white sands, it’s a photographer’s dream. Cooks Beach itself is perfect for a morning stroll and swimming. You can launch the boat from the Estuary end of the beach, just watch the tides. Cooks Beach has a convenience store and some great eateries. And of course, on the way to Cooks Beach, there are 2 wineries to check out!
Not too far away is Ferry Landing which has Australasia’s oldest stone wall wharf built in 1837, from there you can catch the passenger ferry to Whitianga.
You are also a short drive away from Hahei where when conditions allow, you can walk the track to the world-renowned Cathedral Cove, the walk takes about 40-45 minutes. If you’re not up to the walk you can catch the Water Taxi from Hahei Beach. Also not too far away is Hot Water Beach, where at low tide you can dig a hole and sit in your own little hot pool. Spades can be hired from the local shop.
Cooks Beach is a hidden gem and not to be missed on your Coromandel experience!
