It's been a warm winter and spring's come early at The Heights.  Our garden is at its glorious best.

We just had our annual Qualmark inspection and are proud that for the fourth year in a row, we've been rated "Four Star Plus."  We're also very excited because we've been awarded for the second year in a row Qualmark's prestigious Enviro Silver rating,  as a result of our environmental and sustainability initiatives.   We were the first property on the Coromandel to receive this award and among the first 100 tourism providers in New Zealand, as well. 

We're also bursting with pride over two awards we won at Thames B&B competition during this year's Coromandel Homegrown Festival.  Phil's whole wheat bread and Vicky's Asian-inspired tea tray both took first place in their categories.

Part of our responsible tourism initiative is a new outdoor hot-tub, which our guests love for its  special massage feature.   The new spa is much more environmentally friendly than the old one.  It uses a quarter of the electricity consumption, plus it has silver ionization filter and an ozone system to keep the water clean. This minimizes the chemicals  used.

Our new packages continue to be popular.  "Carefree Coromandel" lets guests experience New Zealand's outdoor lifestyle by combining a night's accommodation with a gourmet BBQ served in our park-like garden.  For hikers there's " Pinnacles Headstart", which combines a night at The Heights, gourmet breakfast the next morning to set your up for your hike up to the Pinnacles, plus  accommodation for two at the DOC hut at the top, and all the fixings for lunch, dinner and breakfast on the trail.   Check out the details on our Special Packages and Discounts page.
