Charming sleepout retreat

Suited our needs for a quiet getaway. Very comfy bed, good quality linen. Just not sure how clean the pillowcases were, they looked grubby but smelt clean. Great to be able to have dog with us!

About the host

Hosted by Ethan

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Ethan, your host here in Whitianga. I enjoy helping guests discover the best of the Coromandel, from local beaches and cafés to some of the hidden spots around Mercury Bay. I’ve set up this private spa retreat to be an easy, comfortable place to relax after a day exploring the area. I’m always happy to help with local recommendations or answer any questions to make your stay enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

Whitianga is a fantastic base for exploring the Coromandel Peninsula. Buffalo Beach, boat trips to Cathedral Cove, and the famous Lost Spring thermal pools are all nearby. The town also has great cafés, restaurants, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere. Arthur Street is in a quiet residential part of Whitianga, while still being just a short drive to the beach and town centre.

What makes this property unique

The property combines several things guests love in one stay: a private spa pool, a fully fenced yard that is ideal for guests travelling with dogs, and a quiet location close to town. It’s designed as a simple, comfortable base for couples or small families visiting Whitianga. Guests can relax in the spa after a day at the beach, enjoy the private outdoor space, or explore the neighbourhood using the guest e-scooters.
