We really enjoyed our 2-night stay at Richard and his parents place!! Firstly the pictures really don't do justice to the magnificent views from the unit. We really enjoyed eating out on the patio to soak in the views. We were visited by ducks and chickens a couple times which was a pleasant surprise especially for our two year old. The property is located perfectly for visits to both cathedral cove and hot water beach. We drove for about 5 min to the main visitors parking lot in Hahei to ride the shuttle bus to the cathedral cove trailhead, but you could also park at the nearby Lees Rd parking lot and hike across a farm to the trail. Hot water beach was also a quick 15 min drive. We were traveling with our two year old and our parents and we found the place quite adequate for our needs. The kitchen has all the basic necessities - enough for quick and easy meals. There is no wifi on the property but our wifi hotspot and 4G worked just fine. Highly recommend staying here on your trip to Coromandel!
