A classic Coromandel coastal village with a laid back atmosphere.
Kuaotunu's long sandy beach just beckons you to stretch your legs for a stroll or to take a dip into the ocean and enjoy the magnificent view out to sea. Alternatively sit back and enjoy the view, chilling out with a coffee, beer, wine, pizza or an ice cream in the village – take your pick.
In 1890 Kuaotunu was a thriving village with a range of shops such as a pub, a tailor, butchery, bakery, blacksmiths and general store to service its population of approximately 1000. Today Kuaotunu continues to thrive with a small village centre that is a hub for the local community and visitors staying in the area.
