Tractor boat launching straight off the coast and dedicated fishing charters define this long-running holiday and fishing lodge, nestled between the Coromandel ranges and the Hauraki Gulf. Catering to keen fishers, families, and travelling groups, accommodation spans from a one-bedroom penthouse (from \$225 a night as at 2026) and self-contained one-bedroom units (from \$190 a night as at 2026) through to powered campsites (from \$27 single or \$51 couple as at 2026) and unpowered tent pitches (from \$22 single as at 2026). Along with free on-site boat parking, staying guests can book a return tractor launch and retrieval service (\$28 as at 2026) to keep dry while getting out on the water, or take the lodge’s own water taxi for island hops and rock fishing trips around the gulf.
Visitors consistently praise the immaculate upkeep of the grounds, highlighting spotless cabins with good fridges alongside well-maintained communal kitchens and ablution blocks. The fishing charters get particular applause for friendly crews and productive half-day outings, while non-anglers make good use of the on-site swimming pool, spa, and shop for morning coffee. You will find it tucked away by the water at 1446 Colville Road in northern Coromandel. Our pick for a salt-washed Coromandel base where boaties can get straight onto the gulf without trailer stress.
