All-weather Luxury Activities

Even in the (usually) sunny Coromandel, there can be some rainy days. Don’t sweat it, as there are a few all-weather activities that are well worth saving as a back-up.

The Lost Spring is a geothermal hot pool complex that can be enjoyed whatever the weather. Soak in the mineral-rich hot pools immersed in native bush or treat yourself at the day spa nestled in the treetops. Complete the experience with locally-produced coffee, wine and beers, tapas and platters at the restaurant.

We figure as long as the unfavourable weather is only rain, you can still enjoy an awe-inspiring scuba diving trip in the Coromandel. Join dive operators like Dive Zone Whitianga for a day at one of the many amazing dive sites and their marine reserves thriving with life. Popular trips are to the Mercury Islands, Te Whanganui A Hei (the marine reserve just off Cathedral Cove) and the Alderman Islands.

Fine Dining in the Coromandel

The Coromandel’s premium accommodations offer something special when it comes to dining, so if you’re looking for a night out to celebrate a special occasion or simply treat yourself then your best bet is to head to one of the resorts or vineyards.

Miha Restaurant at the Grand Mercure Puka Park Resort (42 Mount Avenue, Pauanui) serves up contemporary European cuisine from their elegant restaurant with Pacific Ocean views.

Another fantastic option is the Mercury Bay Estate (761a Purangi Road, Whitianga) where you can taste their range of wines and dine on antipasto platters and wood-fired pizzas.
