Coastal Chalets Suites

Situated only a few kilometers from the world renowned harbour and gamefishing centre of Whangaroa, it was only a few minutes before I was entering the gates and driving through the beautiful gardens to the chalets to be greeted by Leonie. Little did I know then, how delighted we would be with our home for the next few days.

On entering the largest of the three chalets the overwhelming sense of pure luxury and style overtakes all else. From the gourmet kitchen, with double oven, icemaker and every conceivable appliance, enough to delight any foodie, to the library of movies, the pure luxury of top quality linens and the fireplace, and did I mention the bathroom, pure indulgence. All chalets while completely private have their own entertaining areas.

Coastal Chalets is the perfect base to make the most of all that is on offer in this area, numerous golf courses including Kauri Cliff, game fishing, the meeting of the seas at Cape Reinga, numerous beaches or walks or you can just simply relax. What can be wrong with a wine in the spa, the sun going down on the deck discussing the one that got away or the one that rolled around the pin.

Leonie is the perfect host and she describes Coastal Chalets as " affordable luxury" - what an understatement
