Sitting at the foot of the Coromandel ranges on the Firth of Thames, this tiny New Zealand town offers mountain terrain, waterfront access, and a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size. The largest town on the Coromandel Peninsula, Thames serves as the gateway to the wider region and seat of the Thames-Coromandel District Council, with a number of historic churches adding to its streetscape.
