What our guests are saying:

"“Coromandel is breathtakingly beautiful: we walked to Cathedral Cove, paddled on Hot Water Beach, enjoyed the provided picnic lunch in the sunshine by a bay, and ate ice creams on the way back to Auckland -- via a different route so we could see more of the stunning scenery.”"
