Where to go on holiday in Coromandel?
There’s a very good reason why The Coromandel is one of New Zealand’s most popular holiday destinations! Renowned for its pristine beaches, dreamy forests and laid-back vibe, there’s no shortage of things to see and do. The Coromandel Peninsula is a must for visitors to explore and relax, while Cathedral Cove is an iconic beach with a stunning natural archway. Take a walk through the forest to get to the beach and enjoy a dip in the crystal-clear waters. Prefer things a little warmer? Hot Water Beach is a popular pit-stop for visitors to dig their own personal hot pool in the sand and soak in the natural hot springs. Whangamata is a laid-back coastal town to enjoy a spot of fishing, surfing or simply relaxing on the beach. If that all sounds a little bit too relaxed for you, lace up your sneakers and tackle Pinnacles Walk, a beautiful and challenging hiking trail that rewards you with stunning views of the Coromandel ranges. Last, but certainly not least, Coromandel Town is a charming historic town to learn about the history of the region and enjoy some delicious food and wine, browse art galleries and boutique shops.

Ruapehu. Spring (September to November) is a great time to visit for nature lovers, with flowers blooming and wildlife emerging from hibernation.
