We wanted a home base for exploring the Coromandel Peninsula and this was perfect! Located across the road from the beach with awesome views (and a little road noise), we easily saw the sights in Coromandel Town. The breakfasts were outstanding with shirred eggs, lox, avocado and sliced tomato, toast, cereals, yogurt, etc. and all this was enjoyed on the deck with the gorgeous ocean view. The hosts were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating with access to a private rear garden deck with barbeque and rain forest landscape. The free laundry was a big welcome plus! Watch for flag and sign on wall that can be obscured by passing cars when coming from Thames.
