Whitianga, Cooks Beach Coromandel NZ - Family friendly Boutique Bed and Breakfast accommodation near Cathedral Cove Walk & Hotwater Beach -Ferry Landing Lodge - Special Breakfast

A healthy breakfast is an important part of each day, especially when traveling, so your day begins with a choice of specially prepared, nutritious food, served in our sunny conservatory. Experiences are shared, questions asked and activities planned, all in a leisurely fashion, often referred to, as 'Coromandel time'.

Most travelers to Coromandel, will have Hahei Beach and Cathedral Cove walk on their list of things to do. The walk to Cathedral Cove can be enjoyed at any time. Experiencing the fun of 'relaxing in your own hot pool at Hot Water Beach, is dependent on low tide.

Join your friendly hosts and other guests for breakfast. Served on a large circular table in our sunny conservatory.

Most guests find that 2- 5 days allows enough time to enjoy the beaches and experience the local activities close to the lodge.

However long you have, we promise to help you plan your days, so you see as much of The Coromandel as possible. And with a map of both the North Island and South Island of New Zealand on the wall of the conservatory, you can discuss the rest of your trip with Rob during breakfast. Having traveled over most roads in New Zealand, he is able to discuss realistic driving times and point you to various 'out of the way' places to see along the way. Following a leisurely informative breakfast, Maori language lesson, a guided walk for those interested in local European and Maori history is offered. We encourage an early start to the day......but not too early!
