Ferry Landing

Travel Guide

Flaxmill Bay is a wonderful little beach - you can go paddle boarding or kayaking in the sheltered cove at one end, play with kids in the stream and shallow water or swim in the bigger surf at the other end. It has an incredible mix of white and black sand - the black sand glitters brightly, in swirling patterns throughout the white. It's gorgeous. Another bonus is the nearby Shakespeare Cliffs, which offer an easy 20 minute walk to incredible panoramic views of Mercury Bay, Lonely Bay, Cooks Beach, the Marine Reserve and its islands.

My apartment was ready for a makeover & the main bed was extremely uncomfortable. On a positive note, the staff were very friendly & efficient. The resort facilities were of a good standard and the location ideal. This was our 3rd stay at the resort.
