Hotels in Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand

Coromandel Peninsula sits on New Zealand's North Island, famous for its golden sand beaches and the unique Hot Water Beach, where you can dig your own hot pool at low tide. The climate is mild year-round, with summer (December to February, 70-80°F or 21-27°C) perfect for swimming at Cathedral Cove, while winter (June to August, 50-60°F or 10-15°C) offers uncrowded hiking on the Pinnacles Track through native forest. Visit in spring (September to November) for fewer tourists and cheaper accommodation, and you can still kayak along the coast without the summer crowds.
