    We really enjoyed our 1 night stay at this gem of a place,...

    We really enjoyed our 1 night stay at this gem of a place, set in a lush forest. The surroundings were idyllic, with beautiful vistas over Whitianga town and beach. The bed was superb and breakfast was amazing - more than we could eat with more than 6 types of fruit, yoghurt, bacon & eggs, and mushrooms and tomatoes, toast...... We've never seen such a variety of teas and coffee on offer! Wish we had had more than 1 night to enjoy Beverley and Dave's wonderful hospitality. 10 out of 10!!

    We joined a cruise to the Cathedral Cove from Whitianga.

    We joined a cruise to the Cathedral Cove from Whitianga. It was very nice and enjoyable. The beach was scenic. It is a small town but with 2 big supermarkets where we can buy fresh local food. It is a long drive from Auckland. It would be easier if there is car ferry from Auckland east to the Coromandel pennisula.

    Whitianga is a beautiful place especially the area we stayed...

    Whitianga is a beautiful place especially the area we stayed in being surrounded by the beach. Everything is close by in walking distance. What a bonus. The people are lovely and friendly. We tried the Slice slice baby - pizza place because we seen a lot of people going in and out and now we know why! We also had fish and chips from the shop just next to the pizza and by far the best fish and chips I've had. Fresh and tasty.

    Small town but had most things you would want access to.

    Small town but had most things you would want access to. Lovely beach and it had a lovely peaceful feel about it. Enjoyed dining at Stoked Bar and Grill. Had a great vibe and was across from the beach.

    Our favourite activity was going on a Cathedral Cove Coast and cave tour with mercury Bay discoveries. Highly recommend getting out on the water. We enjoyed a dinner at Grace O'Malleys, generous meals at a reasonable price, with a beautiful view. We enjoyed the closeness to other beaches eg Hahei, Cooks Beach. We enjoyed taking the ferry across to Ferry landing to explore Flaxmore Bay and other landmarks. Great Mini Putt golf course , very well kept.

    Whitianga is the perfect place to stay on the Coromandel...

    Whitianga is the perfect place to stay on the Coromandel Peninsula. The town had plenty of facilities and we enjoyed using the passenger ferry to Shakespeare lookout. The town has plenty of bars, restaurants and cafes, some of the bars have DJ nights and live music. The town has plenty of little shops, we found everything we needed from a chemist to a second-hand book shop. There are lots of cute little independent boutiques & shops, convenience stores and some big brand names including Countdown, New World and Subway! Plus several places to get fuel. There are restaurants galore, Indian, Chinese, Thai, bistro style and pie shops. If we stayed here again we would rent a property a little bit away from the centre of town, the outdoor DJ kept us away until 12.45 one night!!

    The unit was sparkling clean. I enjoyed sipping coffee from the balcony. We woke up early to watch the sun rise and even made time to slip into the hot tub. We did not cook outdoors, but noted the gorgeous table for alfresco dining. We opted for the Whitianga restaurants which were a short drive away. The proprietors left us a shallow container of water to rinse our feet before entering the unit. Great idea! When we checked in, we appreciated advice about visiting Driving Creek Railway, a narrow gauge railway constructed by a potter.

    Lovely clean apartment that met all of our needs. We would most definitely stay here again. The back bedroom had an annoying quirk that as it had no headboard. When you slept you hit the blind with your pillows which knocked against the windows which woke us up at times, however, it was a very small annoyance in comparison with the fantastic apartment, amazing view and great position of Crows nest apartments. We were definitely impressed with the whole accommodation and would definitely stay here again.

    Absolutely outstanding! Staff are amazing and super accommodating! The two bedroom apartment was super clean and recently refurbished, better than a 5 star hotel. We had a view of the wharf, which was even more lovely to see all day long. The apartment is well kitted out for dining in, but we dine out mostly. We even had time to enjoy the pool, which was heated, and the hot tub! We will be back.

    Everything was just so immaculate. I felt like I was staying at a 5 star hotel, yet it was much more homely than that. The breakfast was fantastic, I had bacon and eggs tomato and mushroom and toast there was lots of it and cooked to perfection. The hosts were so helpful, friendly and had interesting and informative conversation. I dont think I have had a better overnight stay before!

    The property was even better than the photos. My wife and I strongly recommend that you do yourself a favour if your staying in Whitianga you can’t go wrong staying with these great hosts. I have to mention the breakfast I couldn’t eat until the evening… it was so good.. We loved the whole stay my only regret was we couldn’t stay longer. Great bed and pillows 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Lovely hosts. Excellent accommodation. Well stocked for cooking and eating in. Loved the salt shaker and the jug of milk in the fridge! Literally across the road from the beach and 2 mins drive to Whitianga main street and the boat ramp. We relaxed immediately, great calm atmosphere, beachside vibe. Highly recommended, just not when we want to visit! 5 stars 🌟

    The view is amazing. The apartment located away from the main house is beautifully decorated. It is a dream location and just 5 minutes drive away from Whitianga. The hosts were very nice and very discreet. We enjoyed the quietness and the beauty of the place. The 3 days that we spent there were a dream part of our vacation

    This place has great facilities with an amazing view. It is the kind of place you'd dream of staying at while visiting Whitianga. Feels comfortable and the staff are lovely. Within close proximity to the shops and the pools. Have stayed here multiple times and will continue to frequent this excellent accomodation.

    Evolve Bach was a lovely place to stay during our visit to Whitianga. We walked everywhere we needed, grocery, laundry mat, restaurants and more. It was an easy drive to Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove. Our host was responsive to inquiries and made our stay most enjoyable.
