Top Whangamata Hotel Reviews

Palm Pacific Resort and Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, walkable to the beach and shops in town. Easy parking on site. A little tired in some spots, but nothing major. Would stay there again."

Sunny house near Golf Course and Recreation Centre

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The house had everything we could possibly need and felt like a true home away from home. Communication with the owner was excellent—they were friendly, incredibly helpful, and very accommodating throughout our stay.The area was peaceful and quiet, making it the perfect place to relax. Whangamatā is a beautiful destination, with great cafés and restaurants offering delicious food at very reasonable prices.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be booking this beautiful home again. Highly recommended!"

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."

Pacific Harbour Villas

8/10 Good

"The bathroom left a lot to be desired. The toilet was mounted on a piece of laminated wood, which did not look hygienic. The toilet seat was very loose. The whole studio looked like it could have had a deep clean around the edges. The bedding was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Location to restaurants was very good."
