Great Host and amazing location

The host was great, easy to communicate and accommodated for our late time changes. The location is great and it’s a short drive to Coromandel and Whangamata.

The place was good. The shower was great as well as the kitchen. We had everything we needed. Nothing to do with the host but we had issues with Bookabach. To get any communication about the booking you must create and login to Vrbo.Once sorted the admin the host was good and informative.

Beautiful little home with great view of the Firth of Thames. The shower was amazing! Bed was firm and very comfortable. All sitting furniture inside and and out were great. Loved having a BBQ on the deck with a well set-up kitchen. Wonderful hosts. So responsive! We were even able to extend our stay as the area so much to offer.

Beautiful oropert and location

The small apartment was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The location was beautiful. Overlooking the Firth and in a rural.setting. we enjoyed sitting on the deck in the later afternoon sun. It is about a 10 minute drive from Thames and was for the himes we did on the Coromandel

Just 10 Minutes from Thames

Although not a ‘stand alone’ property, as a guest you’re unaware of the owners’ close proximity. A brand new unit, close to the ocean. Exceptionally well presented with all the mod cons. Very quiet, A positive experience.

The apartment is fresh and clean and lots of space for 2 people. The kitchen has basic dishes, pans etc. and you will need to bring your own cooking supplies- oil, spices. There is a nice view of a bit of the Bay/Firth of Thames from the from the small deck. The deck is private. The bed is very firm :)It’s a great location for day trips out for some very nice walks/hikes on the Coromandel Peninsula and a relatively short drive up to the town of Coromandel. Thames has everything you need for groceries a some nice restaurants too. The School of Mining museum was interesting if you like historical buildings and museums

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We are really glad the apartment felt clean, spacious, and comfortable, and that the private deck and view over the Firth of Thames were enjoyed. It’s wonderful to hear the kitchen setup worked well and that the location made it easy to explore the Coromandel walks and nearby attractions. Thames is a great little hub, so we are pleased the town had everything needed during the stay. It was a pleasure hosting you both, and the door is always open for a future visit.
