Why not make it easy for your guests, especially those coming from afar who’ll be requiring accommodation. We suggest you add a simple
note on the footer of your invitations recommending they view www.thecoromandel.com for all their travel requirements.
you may also like to create your own wedding itinerary including all the services you’ll be using for your wedding.
This can be developed on the trip planner page of www.thecoromandel.com and then all you need to do is insert
the link on your invitations, your guest will then know where everything is with contact details and directions.

Hen & Stag do’s...Within two hours of three of New Zealand’s largest cities yet far enough away to have a good time, The Coromandel is the perfect location for a hen’s Night or Stag Party.
With endless opportunities including ladies’ pamper packages to rough and rugged outdoor pursuit activities there’s something for everyone. Perhaps troll the crisp clear waters for a spot of fishing and diving, maybe even sail the many islands off the coast. Be it indoors or out, laidback or adventurous, there’s plenty of reasons to kick back and enjoy The Coromandel.
for suggestions on planning your weekend getaway check out the pre-planned itineraries on www.thecoromandel.com or plan your own.
