About this house rental
Seascape is perfectly positioned to capture panoramic views over Mercury Bay and Whitianga and is nestled into a beautiful bush backdrop surrounded by striking Nikau palms and native trees, with relaxing birdsong.
Perfect for an escape all year round, snuggle up by the log fire in winter or lounge on the sunny deck in summer. Close by is the world class Lost Springs - New Zealand’s premier Geo-Thermal pools, spa and restaurant built on a magical oasis of 16,000 year old pure mineral spring water. The perfect sanctuary if you’re looking for a local escape with a touch of indulgence.
Ideal for up to 2 families and a location that is hard to beat - summer or winter fun can be yours with beaches, boating, fishing and swimming mere moments away.
Set on two levels, upstairs offers generous family living in a spacious Lockwood design. An open plan kitchen, lounge and dining all flowing out to the expansive sunny wrap-around deck. You have the choice of in-door dining at the large 8 seat dining table or out on the deck overlooking the bay.
The large master bedroom offers a King bed and 2 walk in wardrobes and seaviews. Enjoy breakfast in bed and look out over the bay! There is a second bedroom upstairs with 2 King Single beds and a large wardrobe, with views over the natural bush surrounds. Upstairs is a large bathroom, toilet and laundry with washing machine, tub and dryer.
Downstairs flat provides a separate living/entertaining area, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. One bedroom features a Queen and Single bed and the other bedroom has a set of Single Bunk beds and a Double/Single Bunk. Note access to the downstairs area is via external stairs at front or rear of house.
Note: Linen for beds and Towels is not included. You can bring your own sheets, pillowcases and towels or these can be easily provided for you on request for an additional charge.
A flat area at the top of the drive provides plenty of off street parking and a nice play area for kids.
A short 300m stroll from the house is Brophy's Beach which offers safe swimming and a boat ramp. A 5 minute drive into central Whitianga and you can enjoy some shopping or a meal out at one of the many cafes, bars and restaurants. There are also 2 supermarkets and a Four Square in Whitianga for all your grocery needs.
If you are looking for a peaceful holiday retreat, come and relax at Seascape Villa and enjoy all the beautiful Coromandel area has to offer.

We loved both the house and Whitianga. The view is great from this quiet home on a dead end street. House is well stocked, spacious, and clean. The host was most helpful and we left already wanting to return.

Two families with young children, setup is perfect for two families to still have their own space, however need to be vigilant with the stairs at the front which don’t have sides. Bottom living area hob was not functioning so might need looking at.
Not the best driveway if looking to bring a boat/trailer as it is too steep.
View is amazing & local native birds including wood pigeons in the trees are a treat.

Tidy, comfortable place to stay the view is stunning. We all had a great time staying here. Only thing was a little maintenance on the balustrade and deck is needed.

The photos don't do the place justice! We had a group of 10 ages ranging from 6-50.
The views are incredible, the rooms are spacious and all the facilities work well! Warren communicates very simply which I love, just in and out no surprises or interruptions.
One thing I’m wary about are the quality of furniture/ Utilities but their bunk beds, chairs, kitchen equipment were all of good quality. Nothing fragile that may come up later.
The house is very spacious and you get a lot of privacy from neighbours etc! Feels like your very own cabin.
However, the only caution is that the drive way is very steep and not very suitable for long vans as they may scrape the concrete.
Definitely would recommend :-)

Lovely house and extremely well equiped. We loved the coffee machine. Driveway was very step and as house was tucked into the hillside was not as sunny as I had thought. Well located and views to die for. Would recommend.

We stayed for 5 nights at the first part of our 2nd New Zealand trip. It is a very comfortable house, well equipped, with lots of windows to enjoy the beautiful view. Whitianga is a charming town with excellent restaurants and the Coromandel Peninsula has stunning scenery.
Warren was 5 star with communication, thank you Warren!

We had a wonderful time, stunning views, easy and close walk to the beach and short drive to town centre. The only problem was that the gas stove downstairs didn't work.

Nine Wāhine flew up from the South-Island for a Girlies Weekend; The House was terrific to say the least it has a good wairua with a comfortable warm mood. We found it clean, spacious, the equipment was generous from the washer / dryer, in & outdoor furnishings, games to kitchen utensils. The view from the wrap-around deck and bay windows were off the hook looking over Whitianga Beach on those chill afternoons or early morning breakfasts. Downstairs was inviting & cosy for those rest moments or quiet coffee gossips. We loved it and would definitely book again. The price including fees etc really worked for US. Mauri Ora Warren!

Great for family group
Great view, great location with easy walk to beach and lovely path along waterfront into town for longer walk. The house is spacious for larger groups and very clean and tidy, and well provisioned to cook your own meals. Our experience was winter with some rainy days and some sunny. The fireplace soon had the place cosy. And plenty of space for some good board game challenges.

A relaxing and peaceful break
We had a very relaxed stay at this place! The views were spectacular! Close proximity to the beach was an added convenience. Property is very well maintained and excellent for big groups, a large family or more than one family! The host was flexible with our check out, which helped us have a more leisurely morning. Definitely look forward to going back over the summer months!
Just one thing though! The drive way was a bit slippery due to the rain and needed cleaning.

Just Perfect
What a find, this place is a real gem. Being a large group of 11 and a mixture of adult & teens, plenty of space, everything you would need is available. Great location to the beach, close to town and a stunning view. Wood fire to keep us warm for the cooler nights, variety of board games & books to read. Fantastic host. We loved our stay & didn’t want to leave ❤️

Last family holiday
We trawled through the book a Bach website, not knowing which would be a nice spot, we eventually chose this one and we weren’t disappointed. It was a lovely roomy place, with all the amenities we needed. But the view, WOW THE VIEW WAS SPECTACULAR. Even tho the weather didn’t play it’s part, we still had the best time, and a happy family memory was made

Lovely holiday house
Great location, good sized rooms and fantastic view of the bay. Well equipped - even had ice cubes in the freezer. A short walk to the beach - the drive way is steep but fine for kids and able bodied people to walk down. Highly recommend - a lovely base for a Coromandel holiday.

Amazing view!
This property has the most awesome view, the area is lovely and quiet and the house has everything you need to cook your own meals and sit out on the big deck/table and look out over the bay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and didn't really want to leave.

Brilliant Location
If you want privacy this place offers oodles of this. Great outlook, nice and close to the foreshore walk way. Beautiful bush surrounding the property. Heaps of room for 2 families to be together. Warren the host was easy to communicate with especially in uncertain times with covid and been able to travel. My only negative, is the steep driveway.
