About this property

Coromandel Orchard Cottage

One bedroom cedar cottage, nestled into private, tranquil cottage gardens with a veranda, separate patio, and paths leading to the orchards. The property is on 1.5 acres, fully self-contained with one new QUEEN bed Feb 2024 / bedroom, en suite, a double sofa bed in the open plan living area, and a portable crib with bedding provided. It can accommodate 4 people. It is a lovely warm place to stay in either summer or winter as it is north-facing and has a log fire for the winter, with air conditioning and heaters as required.
The property is an oasis of a variety of fruits in the orchards which covers the property. Most times of the year there is fruit. At the rear of the property is Driving Creek stream where the first gold was discovered in New Zealand and today you will find crystals there for a souvenir.

Within walking distance (5min) is the famous Driving Creek Railway, where Barry Brickell, a world-famous potter has established a truly fascinating environment, with potters and his world-famous railway PLUS there is now the Driving Creek Wildlife Sanctuary and a new Art Gallery which will exhibit Barry's private collection of very famous artists not to forget the fabulous views of the harbor and islands. Also, see the re-establishment of native trees and wildlife. On the way stop off at the funky Driving Creek Cafe.

The historic village of Coromandel is under 3km away, with fabulous restaurants and craft shops. The 3 local pubs all provide courtesy vans door-to-door. The cottage is 5-8 minutes to the closest safe beach or under 30 mins to the beautiful Whangapoua, NEW CHUMS and Matarangi Beaches on the East Coast, suitable for surfing, sailing, and boogie boarding
Also, there are bush walks to native Giant Kauri Trees, artist studios to visit, and a great fishing region - if you do not have a boat we would be happy to organize a trip for you or a trip to the Cape perhaps.

We had the best time at the Orchard Cottage, it made our time in the Coromandel even more memorable. The cottage has been dressed beautifully, it has absolutely everything you need. And so private for being on the same property as the hosts. You really didnt know each other were there. We will love to plan a trip to stay there again in Spring/Summer.

Lovely place to spend a bit of time, cottage was great, with everything you need, including very comfy bed. We stayed on the coldest night of the year and it was still really cosy with the woodburner. Lots to do in the area with the stream at the bottom of the garden and Coromandel village centre only a couple of minutes down the road as well as the remarkable railway/pottery virtually next door. Great hosts, welcomed us quite late in the evening with the fire lit in advance. All this and able to bring our furry friend on holiday too.

A wonderful place to stay and a great host. We just loved our time staying in Shirley's cottage and really appreciated Shirley's thoughtfulness and attention to anticipating the needs of travellers who come to stay. Shirley was a great host and helped us with ideas for things to do in the Coromandel region. The setting is wonderful - quiet and peaceful - and yet it's just a few minutes from the centre of Coromandel town.
