If you're looking for a quiet rustic getaway, this is the place for you! We couldn't meet Mark but we loved Emma, Mark's daughter. The house is hand made, literally, with clay and paper and other stuff. It has a kitchen and a fireplace which is lovely for rainy days. The house has a lot of books and a comfy corner to get lost in them. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for some time off from the claustrophobia of the city.
We will definitely stop by for longer the next time around. Oh and the drivers creek cafe is nearby, if you need a quick bite and a coffee. For anything more, you'll have to drive down 3 lm's to coromandel town which is no biggie.
