Three Must-Visit Local Attractions

• Cathedral Cove (Te Whanganui-A-Hei): A 30-minute drive south, this is the Coromandel’s iconic masterpiece. Walk through lush native bush to emerge at a breathtaking beach framed by a colossal natural rock archway. It’s a spot for incredible photos, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and kayaking around the coastal cliffs. Arrive early to enjoy its majesty in relative peace.

• Hot Water Beach: Just 20 minutes from your apartment, this world-famous geothermal wonder allows you to be an architect of your own spa. Dig into the sand at low tide to find hot springs bubbling beneath, creating your personal oceanfront hot pool. It’s a uniquely Kiwi experience—remember to check tide times and hire a spade from local shops.

• Whitianga Town & Mercury Bay: Start your exploration right on the doorstep. Stroll from the apartment to the Whitianga Wharf for fresh fish and chips, visit the fascinating ancient Māori pa site at Shakespeare Cliff, or take a scenic ferry across the estuary to Ferry Landing. The town is also the launch point for exceptional sailing, diving, and fishing charters in the pristine Mercury Bay.

Combining unparalleled convenience with luxurious self-sufficiency, Apartment by the Marina is more than accommodation—it’s your gateway to experiencing the best of coastal New Zealand living.
