Since 2023, the market has defied expectations and is now established as one of Coromandel’s must-visit destinations. The market is primarily based on locally sourced produce and food, fresh organic veggies, berries, staples, delicatessen and artisan goods.
Tucked along the south coast of Hahei lies one of the Coromandel’s secret gems. Running from Great Barrier Island through the peninsula to the Kaimai Range, the Coromandel Ranges are the remnants of ancient volcanoes – a landscape quite literally born of fire. Over 18 million years, this dynamic landscape has evolved into a series of secret caves, archways and hidden bays shaped by the relentless force of the ocean.
Mt Moehau is an incredible mountain located at the northern end of the Coromandel, in the range which extends from the settlement of Colville northwards to the tip of the peninsula.
Here’s a question for you: When was the last time you truly listened to your beloved? Not that half-listening we all do while mentally preparing tomorrow’s shopping list or scrolling through social media. I mean really listened – the kind of listening that makes someone feel like they’re the only person in the world?
My French friends, Jacques and Marie and their two young children, who participated in the cricket match mentioned in Part 1, eventually left Aotearoa bound for New Caledonia where they stayed for some months before heading to Fiji. They invited me to join them to sail with them to Vanuatu, so I flew to Nadi and boarded their 40-foot yacht.
