Your holiday home:
Explore wonderful Whitianga by boat from your own pontoon. Here you’ll be surrounded by beautiful beaches, an eclectic array of boutique shops, a vibrant café and entertainment culture, plus all the natural charm of Whitianga.
Pelican’s Coastal Perch, a magnificent four-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront home, is like holidaying in your own luxury resort, a resort with its own private pontoon no less.
How does freshly caught fish straight from your boat to a state-of-the-art kitchen sound? Or local meats straight to your waterfront BBQ patio, an entertainer’s delight beyond compare. Of course, you can also just chill with your feet up watching a very smart TV with Netflix.
Oh, and if you need a quick turnaround of clothes from all your bushland and offshore adventures, there’s a washing machine and dryer in keeping with the five-star standards throughout.
Your holiday world:
Whitianga is a popular holiday destination located on the Coromandel Peninsula. It is the gateway to some amazing beaches and scenery.
Wandering the shops is a good start and if you get a bit peckish head to one of many delightful eateries whether it’s a pie and donut, or a sit-down lunch with a cold beverage. There are plenty of options.
There is plenty to do for the kids as well with mini golf, movies, an awesome skatepark and kids’ playground, and of course, there is the Mercury Bay Museum.
For adults, a trip to the Lost Springs Thermal Spa and Hot Pools is a great way to spend a couple of hours relaxing in tropical surroundings.
If you make your way to the wharf you can catch the passenger ferry to Ferry Landing & take a walk over to Front Beach.
Tour boats also leave from the wharf which can show you around the area and stop close to Cathedral Cove within the Marine Reserve, watch the fish, go for a snorkel, or take a cave tour.
If fishing is your idea of a good time, there are plenty of Charters that can take you out.
Or you could take a drive out to Hahei. From here you can take the 40-minute walk to world-renowned Cathedral Cove, or you can head to the beach where there is a water taxi that can take you.
Hot Water Beach is not to be missed. At low tide dig a hole and you will have your own hot pool! Spades can be hired from the local store.
