Located just one and a half hours from Auckland Airport, the Coromandel Peninsula is a world away from urban sprawl. Its unique landscape and relaxed lifestyle make it an ideal holiday destination for both New Zealanders and international visitors.

Fabulous golden and white sand beaches with magnificent coastal scenery and a rugged forest cloaked interior waiting to be explored are just some of the natural attractions that have people returning to The Coromandel time after time.

The Coromandel is a walker’s paradise with many coastal walkways and inland bush walks ranging from several hours to several days. Many artists and craftspeople have made Coromandel their home, inspired by the region’s idyllic setting. Visitors can follow an arts and crafts trail from one side of the peninsula to the other following the popular Pacific Coast Highway.
