Hosts on the Coast Pawprints Cabin

Pawprint Cabins is a fantastic pet-friendly bach in Whitianga — the perfect spot for families, friends, and furry companions. This cool setup features three cabins, giving everyone their own space to relax and unwind. Just a short stroll down the road and you’ll be dipping your toes in the sparkling waters of Brophies Beach.
There are two bedroom cabins — one with a queen bed, and the second with a double-down, single-up bunk plus an extra single bed, making it ideal for a family getaway. The bathroom and laundry (with washing machine) are located in the main cabin for convenience.
The main cabin is where everyone can come together. It features comfortable seating, a Smart TV, Wi-Fi, a dining table perfect for shared meals or game nights, and a well-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and full-sized fridge. Air conditioning keeps things cosy in winter and cool in summer.
Step outside to a fenced outdoor area with a partially covered patio, BBQ, and picnic table — perfect for evening drinks or dinner under the stars. You can even chat through the kitchen bar window while the chef works their magic.
There’s also a large lawn area, great for summer games or extra space to park the car and boat before heading out to enjoy the blue waters of Mercury Bay.
This fun, family-friendly bach ticks all the boxes — so book your Whitianga escape today… and don’t forget to bring the dog! 🐾

Whitianga is a popular holiday destination on the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula, known as the gateway to stunning beaches, scenic spots, and relaxed coastal living.
Start your visit by exploring the local shops and boutiques, then grab a bite at one of the many delightful eateries — whether you’re craving a classic pie and donut or prefer a leisurely lunch with a cold beverage, there’s something for everyone.
Families will find plenty to keep the kids entertained, from mini golf and the local cinema to the awesome skatepark, playground, and the fascinating Mercury Bay Museum.
For adults, a visit to The Lost Spring Thermal Spa and Hot Pools is the perfect way to unwind — soak in the warm waters surrounded by lush tropical gardens.
Head down to the wharf to catch the passenger ferry across to Ferry Landing and take a scenic stroll over to Front Beach. You’ll also find a range of tour boats departing from the wharf, offering trips around the coastline and into the Marine Reserve near Cathedral Cove — ideal for sightseeing, snorkeling, or exploring sea caves.
Fishing enthusiasts can book one of the many local charters for a day out on the water, while those keen on exploring further afield can drive to nearby Hahei. From there, enjoy the 40-minute walk to world-famous Cathedral Cove or hop on the water taxi for a quicker route.
And of course, no visit to the Coromandel is complete without stopping at Hot Water Beach. At low tide, dig your own natural hot pool in the sand and relax in this unique geothermal wonder — spades are available to hire from the local store.
