We took an overnight trip to the Coromandel Peninsula this week to a little town called Tairua (pro. Tie-roo-ah), in a motel at the bottom of a volcanic cone called Paku. It’s right out at the end of a peninsula so looking inland there’s a tidal bay, the small town and then the steep mountain range (The Pinnacles) of the Coromandel; and on the other side the sea. Top is the view from our motel window, what a stunning location.
The other is a picture looking back at Paku – ours was the pinky-coloured building to the far-right.
Motels are generally fab and really well equipped – fridge, cooking facilities, laundry and comfortable bedrooms, and space permitting the obligatory Barbie! This one even has kayaks for guests to use in the bay, and spades if you plan to visit Hot Water Beach. That’s where you dig a hole in the sand and it fills with hot water for you to sit in – but the tides are not great at this time of year…
