I had a wonderful few days at Carol's nautical themed house in the beautiful Coromandel. You can watch the sunset from the deck while eating your evening meal. It is magical here all through the day, with the view of the bay ever changing. Quiet and secluded but just a 15 minute walk to the shops and cafes. Carol was a super host, from picking me up from the ferry shuttle to taking me to the bus when I left. In between she was helpful, interesting to talk to, we shared some meals (amazing fish caught by her that morning), took me to a nearby beach for great burgers, provided everything I needed. She was incredibly welcoming. I highly recommend this oasis to other single travellers.
