Three Must-Visit Local Attractions

• The Driving Creek Railway & Potteries: Just a 20-minute drive north in Coromandel Town, this is one of New Zealand's most unique attractions. Ride the narrow-gauge mountain railway through regenerating native forest, engineered by visionary potter Barry Brickell. The journey to the "Eye-full Tower" offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Hauraki Gulf. It’s a fascinating blend of art, engineering, and conservation.

• Thames Historical Sites: Don't rush past Thames itself. As the starting point of the Coromandel gold rush, it's rich in history. Explore the Thames School of Mines museum for a glimpse into its prosperous past, or take a self-guided walk past beautifully preserved Victorian-era buildings in the town centre—a treat for history buffs.

• The Pinnacles Walk (Kauaeranga Kauri Trail): For the active traveller, this iconic overnight hike is accessible from the Kauaeranga Valley road, roughly 30 minutes from the motel. The challenging track leads to a spectacular sunrise view from the razor-edged Pinnacles summit. While the full hike requires planning, excellent day walks to ancient kauri dams and swimming holes are also available in the same valley.

The Perfect Coromandel Base

Whether you're here to hike ancient forests, dig your own hot pool at Hot Water Beach, or simply unwind amidst stunning coastal scenery, the Rolleston Motel Thames provides a comfortable, well-equipped, and welcoming haven. Its combination of excellent facilities, strategic location, and genuine service makes it more than just a place to sleep—it's the perfect launchpad for your Coromandel adventure.
