We loved everything about Crows nest, so much we have fitted in another trip during our north/south island tour in February/March. So confortable, clean, everything you need and a great location; Team were so helpful. We even got to see a dolphin from the balocny whilst we were having breakfast on the balcony

All heated rooms feature a patio with garden views. They offer a fridge, toaster and tea and coffee making facilities. They have a seating area and a bathroom with bath robes. Some rooms have a kitchen.

We had a fabulous stay in one of the most beautiful and thought-out accommodations in New Zealand! The rooms are gorgeously furbished and decorated, spacious, bright and wonderfully comfortable. The bed is just right - comfy mattress, fresh, soft linen and a lot of pillows to choose from. The small kitchenette is perfect for making a cup of coffee/tea and keeping the breakfast goodies refrigerated. We also made use of the full-size kitchen (for guests' use), barbecue and fire ring to cook our meals - all necessary cooking equipment and utensils, cutlery and crockery being provided. The walk-in shower is magnificent, with its large rain head and huge space! Besides the gorgeous double room itself, the property has countless relaxation spots to choose from - starting from your own, private terrace, to numerous lounge chairs, picnic tables, small dining areas and hammocks scattered all over the 15 acres of native rainforest! They also have the most unique treetop bath house and a perfectly placed spa pool to watch the night sky from! Talk about relaxation facilities! And, worry not, if you'd rather be active, there are several marked trails for you to venture on - passing through the river, climbing up steep slopes or through a waterfall. You could also have a swim in one of the 2 refreshing swimming holes, or even jump in one of them. And, at nighttime, you can walk with a torch through the rainforest to see glowworms (yes, they have those as well on the property!). After an adventurous day, you can eat some complimentary s'mores by the fire pit (ring). The place is perfectly located, as well - close to Coromandel's Hot Water Beach, Cathedral Cove, etc. Last, but not least, Debbie and Ernst are the most wonderful hosts! They made us feel catered for and kept everything in tip top shape! Hats off to them!

    The apartment was very spacious and had a balcony which offered a view of the sea in the distance. The open plan kitchen was very well equipped. We liked the fact that there was a washing machine and drier in the property, as well as off road parking, and its close proximity to the marina meant that we didn’t have far to go for local bars, restaurants and activities.

    We had a room next to a kitchen and sitting room so it was good to have that space for self catering. There are picnic style tables outside the rooms. The lodge is in a quiet setting. Whitianga itself is a great spot to explore the region. We enjoyed a boat trip to Cathedral Cove - highly recommend.
