To us, Castaway Cottage was the perfect getaway for a couple. In the small space of the cottage, we found everything we needed (especially a very well equipped kitchen). It was amazing to wake up to the sunrise, and to constantly hear the beautiful sound of the waves in the background.
It took us a while to get to Tuateawa from Coromandel Town (and quite a lot of that drive is on gravel roads), but it was worth it to get to a quiet, more secluded place. And there are fantastic beaches just north of Tuateawa, so plenty to see and do if you want to leave the idyllic little cottage.
