“The location is great if you want to get out of the more crowded places in the Coromandel.”
Good access to a wonderful little cove, nice view over the sea, close to the ferry to Whitianga, and an easy drive to Cooks Beach.
For the price, though (and yes, it was during the New Year peak season), it's really much too small for the 5/6 persons advertised, with a poor sofa bed. Parking is tricky on a narrow drive but not impossible. It was also incredibly hot, and would be better equipped with a fan or air-conditioner.
At the end of the day, it was the only thing available without a 3 night minimum and linen available, so no regrets but would advise others to be aware of the limitations.

The property
Unit 4 is one of four Flaxmill Bay holiday units in a shared complex at Flaxmill Bay 3 minutes drive from the centre of Cooks Beach. This is a fabulous location 100m from the beach. Flaxmill Bay is a small, sheltered somewhat undiscovered bay situated between Cooks Beach and Ferry Landing making it a more relaxing place to stay over the busy summer months, but still close to the passenger ferry to Whitianga and all the local highlights.
This Flaxmill Bay holiday unit includes compact and bright open plan living... unwind on the deck or dine al fresco with sea views!
The kitchen has all the basic facilities you need (no oven) and there is a washing machine in the bathroom. There is 1 bedroom with a Queen bed and there is a sofa bed in the lounge when required. When you are not enjoying the outdoor lifestyle this property come with WiFi and Freeview to keep you entertained.
This is a great base to enjoy all the amenities in the area. Locally there is Eggcentric organic cafe, and you are a short walk to the Ferry Landing store and the passenger ferry (5 minutes) across to Whitianga that has supermarkets together with an array of other shopping and dining options. Cooks Beach has takeaway shops, a general store and a wine shop to cover all your needs.
Other attractions in the area include Hahei and Cathedral Cove 10 minutes drive away, and only 15 minutes drive to Hot Water Beach. As well as the many beautiful beaches there are many lovely bush walks with stunning scenery.
So kick back and relax in the special environment of Flaxmill Bay.
