Your holiday home:
Harbourside Haven is a large home located near the beautiful Whangamata Harbour. The five bedrooms consist of three queen bedrooms, two single beds in one bedroom, and one single bedroom. You will find two bathrooms and three toilets.
With a full kitchen and dining area, this home has plenty of room for family and friends. The three outdoor deck areas give you a great choice for dining or relaxing with a glass of wine. Two of the areas are upstairs and are covered, which is a great option for al fresco dining, as one of the decks has a BBQ. Downstairs, there is a wraparound deck with a BBQ table for relaxed lunches. There is room for boat parking, and the boat ramp is just down the road, so no excuse not to make the most of the beautiful water and catch some dinner! It’s approximately a 10-minute walk to the stunning Whangamata beach and shops so stop for lunch at one of the many cafes, and shop till you drop at the great selection of shops on the main street. Also on the main street, there is a mini putt course to keep the kids or adults entertained before heading back to the house for afternoon bubbles and nibbles. For a great stay in Whangamata, you can’t go past Harbourside Haven.
Your holiday world:
Whangamata is about an hour and a half from Auckland, Hamilton or Tauranga and is a popular coastal town with a fantastic surf and swimming beach. Take a kayak tour to Donut Island or take a trip or hike to Wentworth Falls. There are plenty of shops and cafes in the town or take a drive out to Opoutere Beach and check out the Coastal Bird Reserve, or grab your paddleboard and head to the estuary where the waters are a bit calmer. Let’s not forget that Whangamata is home to the famous Beach Hop held every March for a week where vintage cars, caravans and motorbikes from all around NZ are showcased. Vintage markets are operating and it’s a family-friendly party atmosphere not to be missed!
