Kia ora, lovely readers of Coromind magazine!
As the chill of winter settles upon us in the beautiful Coromandel region, it’s the perfect time to look after ourselves and embrace the cosy comforts of this season. It’s that time of the year when we find solace in the warmth of our homes, relish the company of loved ones, and indulge in those delightful little pleasures that bring us joy.
At Coromind, we believe in the power of uniting the voices and stories that make the Coromandel so extraordinary. We are eager to hear and share stories from every corner of our region. So, this is a call-out to all you wonderful folks from Coromandel Town, Waiomu, Tapu, Thames, Hikutaia, Paeroa, Kūaotunu, Whitianga, Hahei, Hot Water Beach, Tairua, Pauanui, Whangamatā, Whiritoa, Waihi, Waihi Beach and every other special place that makes this area so unique, to join us in celebrating the spirit of collaboration.
