Flaxmill Bay Motel is a small motel of four one-bedroom, self-contained units, 50 metres from the white sand of Front Beach at Ferry Landing on the Coromandel. Units 1 and 4 suit couples or small families, and units 2 and 3 are family units for four. Booking all four gives a group a private retreat, with each unit's own kitchen and bathroom. The property is fully fenced, which the motel says gives children a safe space and gives parents peace of mind. A recently added outdoor fireplace and pergola sit alongside a barbecue on the deck.
Guests can swim, go boating and explore the local area, and the Whitianga ferry is a short stroll down the road. Being 50 metres from the beach and close to the ferry makes the motel a base for both swimming and trips across to Whitianga. The motel is at 1120 Purangi Road, Ferry Landing 3591. Enquiries can be made by phone on 021 570 357 or by email to book@flaxmillbaymotel.co.nz. Our pick at Ferry Landing for a family or group who want a beach stay close to the ferry.
