Top Whakatiwai Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Auckland Karaka

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and yet very quiet. Great amenities including pool. Breakfast was an amazing selection. Beds were comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again. Couldn't fault anything."

Drury Motor Lodge

8/10 Good

"The property was easy to find. The room I stayed in was spacious, with separate kitchen with stove, microwave and fridge-freezer. The bed was comfortable, but it would have been helpful to have an extra blanket, if one did not want to keep the air= conditioner going all night. It is situated near a Petrol station which I found helpful."

Grafton Cottage & Chalets

10/10 Excellent

"We decided to spend the first night of a Coromandel trip in Thames. Because we were only staying for one night, we looked for a room that wasn't too expensive, but still hoped to find something nice and self-contained, off the highway, ideally in a natural setting, with a bit of a view. Grafton Cottages and Chalets provided all of that! The host, Albi, graciously welcomed us and offered us the Camelia room, located at the front of the property, with a deck with views over the Firth of Thames. The kitchenette includes a two-burner hob plus microwave, allowing for meal prep, with a table and chairs positioned by the front window to take in the view. The room's heat pump kept us cozy and warm on a cool winter's night. Below the deck, there were plantings of regenerating bush, which we later learned was Albi's labour of love. We felt lucky we happened upon Grafton Cottages and Chalets when we searched for accommodation; we'd happily return, considering a larger unit for a longer stay, and while we're there, check out the regrowth on the property grounds over time."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Whakatiwai?

The best area to stay in Whakatiwai for most visitors is along the coastal stretch of Whakatiwai, particularly near the Whakatiwai Regional Park.

This area offers direct access to the Firth of Thames shoreline, providing views and opportunities for coastal walks. It's characterized by a relaxed, rural setting with holiday homes and beachfront properties, making it an excellent choice for couples seeking a quiet retreat. The Whakatiwai Regional Park itself provides trails and picnic spots, great for enjoying the natural surroundings.

For those looking for a slightly more developed, yet still tranquil, experience, the northern end of Whakatiwai, closer to Kaiaua, offers a few more amenities.

When is the best time to go to Whakatiwai?

The best time to go to Whakatiwai is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, making it ideal for outdoor activities.

During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), with long daylight hours. This is great for enjoying the beaches, fishing, and exploring the regional parks. For couples seeking a relaxing getaway with plenty of sunshine and opportunities for watersports, this is the prime time to visit.

Should you prefer a quieter experience with cooler temperatures, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) also offer pleasant conditions. Temperatures are milder, typically between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F), and there are fewer crowds.
