Many homes in Coromandel Town and the surrounding area have a Tony Calsaferri on their wall. After 24 years of painting, Tony’s work has found its place, with him completing 100 paintings annually.

Whitianga-based musician FĒI LÍN sat down with fellow Kiwi-Asian Elvisa van der Leden to share some insights on some of the elements that bring her music to life.

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.
