There are a number activities and places in Kuaotunu we recommend visiting.

In Kuaotunu we have Lukes Kitchen for the surfer themed Bar and Wood Fired Pizzas - https://coromandel.link/lukes

Kua Kawhe Cafe in Kuaotunu Village next to Lukes for great coffee - https://coromandel.link/kuakawhe

Kuaotunu Beach is the local beach and the closest.

These are my pick of the other white sandy beaches which are 10-20mins drive from the house.

Otama Beach - 10mins - https://coromandel.link/otama

Opito Bay - 15mins - https://coromandel.link/opito

Matarangi Beach - 10mins- https://coromandel.link/matarangi

New Chums Beach - 20mins - https://coromandel.link/new-chums

Further afield there is the local town of Whitianga with bars and restaurants, supermarkets, shopping and fishing charters. https://coromandel.link/whitianga

The Lost Spring - Hot & Warm water pools, Day Spa and Restaurant all in a setting that reminds me of being on a Pacific Island. https://coromandel.link/the-lost-spring

Glass Bottom Boat with a trip to Cathedral Cove which is a great way to see Mercury Bay and visit the very popular cove. https://coromandel.link/glass-bottom-boat

Cathedral Cove is also accessible by walking track but the boat trip lets you see so much more if you have limited time. https://coromandel.link/cathedral-cove-hahei

Hotwater Beach Day trip. Hot water from natural springs under the sand at low tide. Time your visit at low tide and dig your own spa pool like hole to sit in. https://coromandel.link/hot-water-beach

Coromandel Town is approx 20 minutes drive from Kuaotunu. https://coromandel.link/coromandel-town

The famous Driving Creek Railway & Zip-line is definitely worthwhile. Bookings through their web site are essential. https://coromandel.link/driving-creek-railway

There is a Visitor Guide which has more information on the Coromandel Peninsula attractions available for download at - https://coromandel.link/visitor-guide I hope this helps you in planning your trip to the area.

The local web site has a lot of information about Kuaotunu - https://coromandel.link/kuaotunu-community
