The Heights Bed & Breakfast
About the hotel
Breath-taking, panoramic views of sea and mountains from your own private deck are yours at The Heights, high in the hills overlooking historic Thames, gateway to Coromandel, Whitianga, Tairua, Whangamata and Hot Water Beach. Indulge yourself with luxury BandB accommodation in an intimate, romantic atmosphere. As your hosts, we hope to make your stay with us one of your trip's favourite memories. Only 1.5 hours from Auckland International Airport, The Heights is a special retreat where you can pamper yourself your first or last evening in NZ or while exploring the Coromandel and Waikato.Named after its mountainside location, The Heights was built in the 1980's as the family home for one of the town's most imaginative builders. He is known for his intriguing architectural touches, and as you wander through The Heights you'll be charmed by the little additions he's made to the house to make it unique. Although we've modernized the décor and upgraded the guest accommodation to luxury standards, we've tried to maintain the home's cosy, cottagey feel.Our home is decorated with antiques and family heirlooms. You'll find a little guide to the house in your room that will tell you about some of the more interesting pieces.
