Your holiday home:
A split-level home away from home, just a two-minute walk from the main beach. Ideal for two families holidaying together or a large group. With two separate living areas, a large spacious deck and a huge back yard, this allows for plenty of space to socialize together, whilst also having those separate get-away areas for down-time as a family.
The upstairs level hosts the full kitchen, living room with flatscreen TV, large entertaining deck with BBQ, three bedrooms and the first bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have queen beds, and the third has a set of bunk beds.
Head on downstairs either through the internal or external entranceway to the second level. Boasting a separate living and dining area, kitchenette with full size fridge and microwave, laundry with washing machine, two bedrooms one with a queen and the other with a single ben and a set of bunks. There is also the second bathroom. Also, downstairs you’ll find the second outdoor dining area.
A ping pong table is available in the two-car garage for families to enjoy. Or there’s plenty of space if you plan to pack the toys! The garage could fit a small boat, kayaks etc. plus there is plenty of room on the section for extra vehicles.
Out the back you’ll find the huge backyard, perfect for backyard cricket. The outdoor hot water shower is great for giving the kids a quick rinse after a long lazy day down at the beach.
Cooks beach is perfectly located in the heart of the Coromandel Peninsula, only 15 mins drive to popular locations such as Hot Water Beach, Cathedral Cove and Hahei. Or for a day out in the big smoke of Whitianga, the passenger ferry at Ferry landing is just a 5-minute drive down the road.
Please note that there is a stream at the back of the property that is not fenced so please watch children.
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!
