Anglers Lodge Coromandel

15/10/2026

You don’t need a packed itinerary to have a brilliant family holiday.

Sometimes all you need is plenty of space, somewhere new to explore and a few days away from the normal routine.

We love seeing families enjoying Anglers Lodge and this part of the Coromandel together. Thanks for the lovely review, Rebekah. ❤️

Love being surrounded by nature but prefer a king bed at the end of the day?

Fair enough. 😂

Our Deluxe Unit gives you your own comfortable, self-contained space beside the stream, with a full kitchen, private bathroom and outdoor areas to sit back and enjoy the slower pace.

All the Coromandel goodness. Slightly less roughing it. 🌿

Can you recognise this road? We know you love the historical photos of the Coromandel Coast, so here's another one. This photo of the coast road near Tararu Historical Cemetery is from 1906 and colourised in recent years.

The iconic coast road from Thames to Coromandel Town is one of the most beautiful stretches of road on the peninsula, winding between the ranges and the Firth of Thames.

But go back far enough and there wasn’t a continuous road at all.

The route itself is much older than the road. For hundreds of years before European settlement, Māori travelled this coastline by waka and along established tracks connecting communities around the Hauraki and Coromandel coast.

Early European travellers relied heavily on boats, tracks and even the beach at low tide to make their way along this coastline.

By 1890, a road between Thames and Coromandel was almost complete, but those early journeys would have looked very different to ours.

By the 1920s, motor cars were becoming a common sight on the Coast Road, sharing its narrow bends with buses, lorries, motorcycles, horses and carts. The road was continually being widened and improved, while councils battled slips and erosion from the sea.

More than a century later, that same route has become part of the experience of travelling north.

If you’re coming to Anglers Lodge through Thames, take your time on the Coast Road.

You’re not just driving to Coromandel.

You’re following a route people have been finding their way along for generations.

We reckon a good Coromandel getaway needs a few essentials:

Somewhere peaceful to stay.
Friendly people.
Easy access to the water.
And apparently, proper coffee. ☕️😂

Thanks Leanne. We’re pretty happy to make the coffee part of the five-star experience.

A little more space. Your own facilities. And everything you came to the Coromandel for just outside.

Our self-contained One Bedroom Units are an easy option for couples or small families wanting a comfortable base for exploring.

And if you score one with a sea view, your morning coffee just got considerably better. ☕️🌊

You’ll drive right past this piece of Coromandel history.

As you leave Coromandel Town and head north towards Anglers Lodge, keep an eye out for the magnificent old Coromandel Hospital.

Its story stretches back to the gold rush days, when Coromandel’s growing population of miners and their families created the need for local medical care.

The first hospital was established in the early 1870s, but as the town grew, a new purpose-built hospital was constructed in 1898 and officially opened the following year.

The Sisters of Mercy cared for patients here, and the hospital went on to serve generations of Coromandel families before closing in 1995.

Today, the historic buildings still stand as a reminder of the people and industries that shaped this part of the peninsula.

So next time you’re making the drive north to Anglers Lodge, slow down as you pass through Coromandel Town.

There’s a lot of history sitting quietly beside the road.

Grab the mates, pack the fishing gear and head north.

Our Two Bedroom Cabin is a great option for families, groups of friends or a fishing crew looking for simple accommodation and a comfortable base to explore from.

Because when you've got Amodeo Bay and the northern Coromandel waiting outside, you probably won't be spending much time indoors anyway. 🎣

It was such a pleasure to host the The Lateral Line boys back at Anglers Lodge as they explore our part of the world (even though it was FREEZING).

Catch the episode here:

For this Lateral Line fishing mission, the boys are yet again faced...

There’s something pretty special about hearing Anglers Lodge described as a “home away from home.” ❤️

We want this to be the kind of place where you can arrive, settle in and immediately feel comfortable. Beautiful surroundings, plenty to explore and a team who genuinely care about your stay.

Thanks Michaela for the lovely words!
