Located
about 90 minutes drive from Auckland
along the spectacular Pacific
Coast Highway and a similar distance
to the cities of both Rotorua and Tauranga,
The Coromandel is one of New Zealand's premier
holiday destinations.
The
Coromandel's dramatic and unspoiled coast, with
native pohutukawa trees on the western side
and beautiful white sandy beaches on the east,
offers endless opportunities for fishing, diving,
boating, surfing and swimming.
The
Coromandel's History is evident in mining relics, logging dams and
ancient Maori pa sites.
The past is also reflected in the charming colonial
architecture and historic buildings preserved
in several towns around the region.
The
Coromandel, with its inspirational natural beauty
and peaceful environment, has long been a haven
for artists and craftspeople.
Take
time to explore and enjoy the wealth of galleries
and studios and let the artist's creations inspire
you.
