Coromandel Overview

Welcome to the Coromandel

The Coromandel is an area of land that reaches into the sea and is part of the Pacific Coast Highway, making it one of the Pacific's great touring routes. The coastline is dramatic and features some of New Zealands best beaches and native rain forest.

Steep volcanic hills divide the Coromandel and you will notice that the west and east coast are markedly different. The western coast is dramatic and lined with beautiful native pohutukawa trees, while the east has beautiful white sandy beaches. Both coasts are perfect for swimming, fishing, and kayaking.

The area is steeped in rich history. You will not have to walk very far into the beautiful native bush before you will find large kauri trees and relics of the gold mining era.

Geographic Location: Found in the central North Island of New Zealand, the Coromandel is merely 1 to 2 hours drive from Auckland, Tauranga, Rotoura and Hamilton, making it an easily accessible destination for all.

Climate: The Coromandel Peninsula has some of New Zealand's best weather, making it a year round destination. Temperatures range between 23-31°C in the summer months and average around 11-15°C in the middle of winter.
