The Publican's, Whitianga. BEST LOCATION Beach and Town at your doorstep

Less than a minute's walk to the beach and Whitianga town centre, Publican's is the perfect place to unwind in coastal paradise! With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, our holiday home comfortably sleeps up to 10 people. Great for families and larger groups.

Self-serviced accommodation with fenced lawn, BBQ, hot outdoor shower (great for sandy kids and divers!), kayaks and super close to the Whitianga Wharf + Ferry. Free Wifi, gas hot water, heat pump, open fire, linen and towels provided. The outdoor patio and lawn is fantastic for those long summer nights, backyard cricket and alfresco dining! For the boaties - we have plenty of space to park boats, fish cleaning bench and a bait freezer can be provided.

Prime location right next to Four Square, Buffalo Beach Takeaways, Hula Cafe and a short walk to the Wharf, Ferry, shops, cafes, bars & The Lost Spring Thermal Pools. You have everything you need within a 5-10 minute walk! Enjoy the wonders of the Coromandel - Publican’s is perfect for your next Whitianga holiday! Linen and Cleaning services are included - kept clean and tidy by professional cleaners.

For Xmas - New Year Peak period, please call me or ask a question online, we are looking for responsible family groups.

Contractors and longer term stays , we are GST registered and can offer full service accommodation so all the staff need to do is get to work.

For larger groups, wedding parties and charter groups, we also have #5601 Sybil's Place next door - rent both! Give me a call.

Liked: Communication
The house itself was comfortable, but it was quite warm at night. Unfortunately, we were disappointed to find that the owner was turning off the air conditioning at the power when we weren’t at the property, which felt intrusive and unnecessary. More concerningly, the owner entered the house without prior notice, seemingly assuming no one was home. However, one of our group had not gone on the fishing charter and was inside when the owner unlocked and entered the property. This was a significant breach of privacy and left us feeling uncomfortable. Overall, while the accommodation itself was fine, these issues made our stay less enjoyable.

Uk and NZ family holiday
We had a fantastic week! A perfect place for two families. A spacious and well equipped house in a great location for access to beach and to wander around the town with its bars, restaurants and shops. Owner Rob met us when we arrived and was on hand if we needed him, which we didn’t. Loved the outdoor shower - it was definitely the shower of choice!! Would highly recommend! Thank you Rob for everything and the excellent communication regarding questions etc before we arrived.

Easy to find and access the property! House was very well kept, clean and tidy. Plenty of off street parking for a large group! Little extras in the kitchen was a nice surprise :) Rob was friendly and very approachable! Will definitely book this property again in the future!

Great spot
The house worked really well two families. We were stuck inside quite a lot due to rain and the spaceous living room was great for playing board games and watching movies on the couch. The owner greeted us on arrival and gave us useful tips on things to do during our stay. The house is a 3minute walk away from the ferry to Cooks Beach and 2minutes away from the shops- great location. We hope to be back.
