Eat & Drink
There are some fabulous local restaurants close to your Cooks Beach Accommodation. One of the region’s best wineries, Mercury Bay Estate, is located just a stone’s throw from Mercury Ridge. Offering delicious gourmet platters and wood-fired pizza, Mercury Bay Estate is also the only cellar door in Whitianga / Mercury Bay / Coromandel to offer wine tastings.
Whether you’re looking for something cheap and cheerful, tapas to share with friends, a long lunch or a café/restaurant with unique artistic flair, we have it all just minutes away! Sample the famous Coromandel mussels, local wine and craft beer, and fresh organic produce from local growers. There is no shortage of great food experiences to be found in the Coromandel—just ask us for our personal recommendations.

A gorgeous magical "castle" on a hill overlooking Cook's Bay with hosts who define the concept of hospitality. We spent Christmas and Boxing Day

Mercury Ridge is a WONDERFUL place to stay. We don’t normally stay at resorts that only serve breakfast, but Jo and Tom’s lodge is exceptional.
