Flaxmill Bay Motel  

Tucked on New Zealand’s Coromandel coast in Whitianga, this tiny 4-unit motel sits steps from Front Beach and within easy walk of Buffalo Beach, Lonely Bay and Whitianga Beach. A short 5-minute ferry hops you into Whitianga town for shops and cafes. Family-friendly and pet-friendly, close to the town centre but blissfully relaxed.

Freshly renovated kitchens and bathrooms give the place a modern kiwi feel. Units feature a separate queen bedroom, single bed(s) in the lounge, well-appointed kitchenettes and in-unit washing machines. The property is fully fenced for kids and pets, with a gated play area and a BBQ spot that catches gorgeous sunset sea views under pohutukawa trees.

BBQ area with sea-view sunsets, on-site laundry/washing machines, Wi‑Fi available, parking on the premises and a tour desk to help plan local excursions. Just 50m to a safe, secluded Front Beach — expect sea-breeze mornings and easy beach days.

Wi‑Fi available and on-site parking make short-stay work trips practical.

Cook in your kitchenette or fire up the shared BBQ for casual meals with a view. Great coffee and a range of restaurants are within walking distance or a quick ferry ride into Whitianga.
