Important, do your full shop at Coromandel, (food, necessities, drinks and alcohol) before driving through to Kennedy Bay as there are more winding roads to get through before you can relax. Not ideal to drive back if you forgot something. John, a lovely friendly host, came to greet me .... as I was there to attend a funeral, the place was available for access anytime. What a bonus, his accommodation of bedding for 4 people, was practically across the road from the marae. Far enough away but still rather close. Kayaks available for use on the river behind. Spectacular views of the mountainside from both kitchen and dining area. Went straight for the accommodation's Harry Potter puzzle while I was waiting for my friends to get ready :) Place nice, CLEAN and tidy. Access to picnic table & BBQ (big plus) on deck from both main bedroom and lounge. A glass ashtray provided outside on the deck. I'm a non-smoker so it was put to the side out of sight :) Shower water pressure great. Ample pillows to prop up if one found too low. Queen Bed ok. Fridge/freezer (another plus) big enough to cope with your week's groceries. Price I thought was too much for one but then it was the same price for 4 adults ..... and for that, price is fine for what I got ...... Thankyou so much John, will pop in to say hi should we next visit the family
