The Retreat - Front Beach Bach

Positioned in the peaceful seaside enclave of Front Beach near Ferry Landing, this classic Coromandel escape offers space, comfort, and a front-row seat to the natural beauty of the bay.

The Retreat invites relaxed holiday living with an open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area that looks out to the surrounding native bush and sparkling coastline. Large windows frame uninterrupted views across the bay and the islands beyond, creating a stunning backdrop whether you're enjoying your morning coffee or winding down after a day of adventure.

Sleeping up to six guests across four bedrooms, this holiday home is well suited to families and groups seeking a laid-back beach getaway. With two bathrooms and all the essentials on hand, it's an easy and comfortable base for making holiday memories together.

The beach is just across the road, making it effortless to spend your days swimming, kayaking, fishing, or simply soaking up the Coromandel sunshine. Take a stroll to the Ferry Landing passenger ferry for easy access to Whitianga's shops, cafes, and attractions, or explore nearby coastal walks and scenic lookouts that showcase the best of this spectacular region.
