Set in Whitianga and only 47 km from Driving Creek Railway and Potteries, Ohuka Place Homestay offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. Featuring bicycle parking, this property also provides guests with DVD player. Every room has a patio with garden views. The house is very nice and clean. This place was ideal for me for one night stay. Big advantage is the owners - very friendly couple. And the best part was a delicious homemade breakfast supplemented with nice chat with the owners :).

Coromandel Seaview Motel is situated between the mountains and the sea of the Coromandel Peninsula. It is close to renowned saltwater fishing and a number of outdoor activities.

All of the spacious, refurbished rooms have a balcony and a private BBQ free parking on site. Kim and Gail were exceptional hosts. We used it as a base for the Coromandel area for 4 days. It was a bit of a drive each day however we were always so happy to come to this relaxed home at the end of a busy day. The place was spotless and well equipped with our own bbq. Book the spa sweet for exceptional views and your own jacuzzi. We had suite 3 and our view was beautiful and our deck so private. Gail and Kim brought breakfast to our deck each morning with a delicious pot of coffee. One of our favourite places in our month long stay in NZ
