We stayed for just one night at the Colonial. Yes, the hostess Jan at the front desk was friendly and helpful, which is what you'd expect at anyplace where you are paying money to stay. We stayed in Room #1 (2 bedroom unit) and upon entry we all frowned. Yes, it was clean but extremely basic for the price of... More

We took our Japanese guests to Coromandel to enjoy the local attractions. Little did we realise that the Colonial Cottages Motel would prove to be a highlight for them. They had never stayed in a motel and their first time was everyting you could ask. A friendly welcome from Jan with tour suggestions set the scene. Then the roomy cottage... More

We stayed one night at the Coromandel Colonial Cottages. We stayed in the 2 bedroom cottage (#3) and it was well-maintained, clean, and there was plenty of room for 4 adults and 1 toddler. The kitchen was small but had all the necessities. The bathroom was small but lovely and modern. I'm a light sleeper but I had no issues... More

We were recommended this motel by the iSite in Whitianga and we were not disappointed. The welcome was friendly, the cottage was well appointed and it was above all quiet & peaceful. Jan was especially helpful in booking local trips and advising on walks. We would thoroughly recommend it.

The cottages are comfortable and very clean. Jan and Steve were accomodating, friendly and just lovely with our two year old daugter. And the pool was a godsend in the hot weather. I highly recommend this place for families.

We chose to stay at Coromandel Colonial Cottages for our 7 day visit to the Coromandel Peninsula and we were not disappointed at all by our choice. The hosts Jan and Steve were very friendly and welcoming. Jan took the time on arrival to highlight the main points of interest, how to get there and the best times to visit... More

Our hosts Steve and Jan are a lovely couple who go out of their way to make sure your stay is the best it can be. The cottages are unique with their old world look but inside is immaculate with the rooms cleaned well every day of your stay. Outside there is a great space for the children to let... More

Clean and Tidy Unit. Clean Bathrooms but the shower pressure was absolutely pathetic. A little way out of town but was very quiet. It was even worse than the usual hotel and motel restricted pressure. It was like a very very fine spray on your face. Pool lovely and in a very quiet spot.

Hi Thank you for your review of our Cottages. We are sorry, but mystified, that you did not have enough water pressure in your Cottage shower. Consequently, we have checked them all and are unable to find a problem. Could you please advise us which Cottage you stayed in so we can have the plumber test it. Thank you Steve... More

I am a member of a Fishing Club and every year for about the last 6/7 years we have booked the whole motel. Our members have a fabulous time and of course with no other people staying we are able to be as quiet or as noisy as we wish. The hosts Jan and Steve are fabulous people and so... More

On arrival, the managers were hospitable, helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to make our stay and planned holiday enjoyable. The cottage was immaculate, the pool clean and warm, and the view amazing. I would definitely stay again. Thank you so much for going out of your way to make our holiday a memorable experience.
