Photos can’t do justice to the spectacular panoramic views from The Heights -- over 100 km of sea, coast, mountains and river valleys. The short climb to Te Moana Room gives you the best views in the house, while gardenview Te Koru Room has a cosy fireplace. Both let you relax in spacious luxury with your own private deck or patio, private entrance, ensuite, king or super king bed, fine linens, tea making, fridge, SKY TV/DVD, Internet and guest lounge. A warm welcome from our friendly cats and special touches like homemade cookies, turndown service and gourmet breakfast in our romantic garden help make a memorable stay. (We’ve just recieved our Qualmark 4 Star Plus rating for the third year running and been invited to apply for their Silver Responsible Tourism accreditation.) Discover the spectacular coastal drive, ancient kauri groves, great hiking, historic towns, crafts, fine dining, plus every imaginable way to enjoy the sea. Then end the day in our garden spa. Only 1.5 hours from Auckland, The Heights is ideal for your first or last night in NZ or as a home base for exploring the Coromandel.

Out and About
Thames is a charming town nestled between tall mountains and the sea. Built by a gold rush in the 1860’s, the town is full of beautifully restored Victorian homes and heaps of history, including 4 museums. The coastal drive north along the Thames Coast is considered one of the Top 3 in New Zealand -- and hiking the Pinnacles Trail is among AA’s 101 "must do’s". In addition, Thames offers art galleries, shops, dining, kayacking on the Kaueranga River, fishing (both charter boat and shore). Plus it’s within an hour of all the Coromandel’s other attractions such as Catherdral Cove, Hot Water Beach and Driving Creek Railroad.
