This cozy retreat features two comfortable bedrooms: the main bedroom with a queen bed and direct access to the deck, and a second bedroom with two single beds. A shared bathroom includes a washing machine and super tub, plus there’s an additional outdoor toilet for convenience situated near the back door of the property. The spacious living area is warm and welcoming, with a comfy couch, flatscreen TV, dining space, and a functional kitchen. A heat pump ensures year-round comfort, while the front deck—with outdoor chairs and a table—is perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks. Outdoors, you’ll find a fully fenced section with a fantastic lawn, ideal for kids or pets to play safely. There’s plenty of parking, including room for your boat. An external sleepout provides extra sleeping space with bunk beds and a single bed, making it perfect for extra guests or children. Located within easy walking distance to the beach and town center, Marlin Cottage also places you just down the road from the famous Lost Spring thermal pools. For a memorable, comfortable stay in beautiful Whitianga, you can’t go past Marlin Cottage. Whitianga is a popular holiday destination located on the Coromandel Peninsula. It is the gateway to some amazing beaches and scenery. Wandering the shops is a good start, and if you get a bit peckish, head to one of many delightful eateries, whether it's a pie and donut, or a sit-down lunch with a cold beverage. There are plenty of options. There is plenty to do for the kids as well with mini golf, movies, an awesome skatepark and kids' playground, and of course, there is the Mercury Bay Museum. For adults, a trip to the Lost Springs Thermal Spa and Hot Pools is a great way to spend a couple of hours relaxing in tropical surroundings. If you make your way to the wharf, you can catch the passenger ferry to Ferry Landing & take a walk over to Front Beach. Tour boats also leave from the wharf, which can show you around the area and stop close to Cathedral Cove within the Marine Reserve, watch the fish, go for a snorkel, or take a cave tour. If fishing is your idea of a good time, there are plenty of Charters that can take you out. Or you could take a drive out to Hahei. From here, you can take the 40-minute walk to world-renowned Cathedral Cove, or you can head to the beach where there is a water taxi that can take you. Hot Water Beach is not to be missed. At low tide, dig a hole and you will have your own hot pool! Spades can be hired from the local store. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Hob - Microwave - Oven ### Bedrooms -
