Lovely spacious apartment just outside the main streets of Whitianga. Surprisingly we had two parking spaces. A garage and an uncovered space. We enjoyed the swimming pool and tennis courts. If we had stayed longer we would have used the kayaks too. The lady in reception was very helpful in settling us in and informing us on what to do in the area. If she hadn’t done this I don’t think we would have seen the wonderful beaches north of Whitianga, which are outstanding. So thank you.

A very comfortable apartment on the first floor with an excellent balcony for outside dining with a barbecue as well. Lovely views over the marina. Good facilities, excellent for self catering purposes with a very good kitchen. Washing machine and tumble dryer as well.

As with previous reviews, with there only being 2 of us, the additional bedroom and the main bathroom were closed off. No problem with the former but the ensuite bathroom is quite small and doesn't have a bath. You can have them opened but at extra cost.

Location is beautiful. The villas won't disappoint. Tightly secure behind remote controlled gates. U have your own garage to park your car in. Our villa was spacious and the people who actually live there were friendly. Receptionist is knowledgeable of the area. They give tennis racquets and balls for tennis and little spades for hot water beach about half hours drive away. There's a cool park in town.

Whitianga is expensive for a family to eat out. Take food and cook yourself. Would have loved the spa to be a little hotter and swimming pool warmer at this time of year and not in the summer time

I booked a waterfront apartment at Sovereign Pier Hotel and it was stunning, over my expectation. The property is just cozy, like home, and the view of the water is amazing. I had a great stay relaxing in front of the water and enjoying the facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was convenient for exploring Coromandel. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable getaway. It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.

TV is too small. Add an electric blanket would be highly recommended.

excellent brand new amazing 1 bed apartment with views over the marina - the team on site were fantastic - friendly helpful and made great local recommendations for trips and places to eat. 😀 amazing pool and huge hot tub with a few sun loungers and tables to just chill as it was very peaceful - may get busier in peak months but perfect time for us late spring. we were also able to hire kayaks for $20 for a few hours to explore the marina area which comprised mainly of a waterways tour of millionaire row properties! This is an up and coming resort undergoing major redevelopment and a perfect location to explore the coromandel! really enjoyed our stay but the enclosed resort feel may not be for everyone.

location - it was a long walk into town when you did it daily for shopping and meals twice a day - 20 minutes -and there wasn’t anything close. we mistakingly got the impression being on a marina it was going to have restaurants bars etc within the marina but this is a private luxury highly security and gated complex - it is very high end which was great in terms of the luxury and standard of apartments but lacked any real atmosphere or buzz - but the plus side is quiet peaceful and relaxing and suited our 3 night stay.

Gorgeous view of the waterways and pool from our apartment. The apartment was beautiful, very spacious, comfortable bed, pillows and couches. Well equipped kitchen and plenty of towels available. The pool was wonderful. Appreciated the AC and fans.

Not a big deal but we would have preferred a separate bathroom that wasn’t an ensuite, but that was shut off as we’d only booked a 1 bedroom stay. I can understand the logic in that but would have liked the separation.

This property felt really luxurious. The apartment was exceptionally clean and had really nice modern furnishings. The bed was super comfortable. The pool was really clean and had nice outdoor furniture to relax on. Apartment 34 was really private with great views over the waterways, we were able to enjoy the afternoon/evening sun from our deck. The staff were really nice and had great recommendations for local restaurants which are only a short drive away. Each apartment has its own garage which is really handy. We LOVED staying there for our wedding anniversary and hope to return again for another relaxing break away sometime.

There’s really no bad points about this property. The only disappointment was that the spa was out of order during our 2 night stay as the pump had just broken . This was beyond the control of the management and they were getting it repaired asap, which happened to be the day we left. We’ll enjoy it during our next stay instead.

The apartment was superb. Very clean and comfortable. All the apartment amenities were first class and modern. The apartments are spacious and warm with reverse cycle aircon/heater. The beds were super comfortable. A fantastic 7-days at this location.

There wasn’t anything to dislike. Definitely a place we will use in the future

Great location very close to down (5-minute drive), plenty of parking including a garage. Large, spacious apartment is great for a large group - we were 4 adults and 2 children. Great patio area looking over the waterways and a gate and walkway along to the pool and spa area which was really wonderful.

Queen bed was uncomfortable - squeaky because of the slats. Only one burner working in the bbq.

Facilities were excellent and very quiet. Kids loved it. Staff very helpful.

Location is quite far from cafe and restaurants for the price. Also very strict on cleaning rules and toiletries despite price and addition of cleaning fees. . 3rd double bed in our 3 bedroom unit really is a large single bed rather than a double thankfully we were only 5 people
