The apartment is lovely and very very clean. The family was so welcoming and friendly from the outset. A wonderful source of information and suggestions. We found the Coromandel peninsula so beautiful and without doubt the highlight was hot water beach where you dig a hole in the sand and lounge in really hot water. Elena provided shovels for us. We should have stayed longer in Thames but we had done the planning. Next time we will stay longer and stay at Matthias' airbnb. Thanks very much.
