Maps & Directions

Please be aware that Ferry Landing is on the Cooks Beach/Hahei side of the Whitianga Harbour as per the maps below. It is not on the Whitianga side.

We have had guests arrive to Whitianga only to find we are on the other side, which is annoying and adds a significant travel time to the journey.

Thanks & Enjoy.
