Whitianga and Hahei are great starting points for scenic boat trips along the coast and to the Marine Reserve, with glass-bottom and snorkelling too as part of the trips. Diving and snorkelling excursions also run from here. Sea kayaking and sailing are very popular. Paddle boarding is growing rapidly too – try the new 'SUP' trip across to Donut Island.
On the Water
There are many options to get you out onto or under the water.
What our other guests had to say
Greeted by name upon arrival. Excellent attention to detail. Everything very well set out and really well looked after. We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending (and have already done so for friends). Thank you very much Jane and Chris for looking after us!

Chris gave us excellent recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and hikes. Jane’s homemade muesli with fruit and cooked-to-order breakfast was delicious. We appreciated their warm welcome. The location is perfect to explore the area.

This was a beautiful home away from home. The hosts were so helpful, courteous and friendly. Comfy rooms and great shower. It is set in walking distance to downtown and right on the ocean. . They serve a delicious breakfast. Their home is as clean as I’ve ever seen a B&B. They even did...
