"We had an incredible few days in The Coromandel and our apartment at Waterfront Apartments in Whitianga was the perfect base. It was clean and spacious with incredible views. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped, which meant we we were able to cook every night of our stay. Having Sky TV to watch was a real bonus too. The owners couldn't have been more helpful and even took our dried washing to our room while we were out. I recommend this place to anyone visiting this truly beautiful part of the world."
