I am a french student, living in Auckland just for a semester. We spent a week end in Coromandel with three friends of mine and we definitely enjoyed ourselves.
We couldn't have found a better place to stay. This farm is absolutely fantastic. Waking up in a comfy, cozy cottage in the middle of cows and surrounded by mountains and large fields is definitely the best feeling for any nature-lover. It's peaceful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing week end with friends and family. As the property is so large, there is an endless diversity of landscapes there : from fields to high mountains, rivers and waterfalls, we enjoyed a nice hike across the farm. At some places, the panorama is absolutely stunning. We also enjoyed a nice two - hours horse ride across the fields and down on the beach. Friendly hosts and horses !
Not too far from a small yet beautiful sand beach, it's a very nice place for a picnic or just a relaxed afternoon.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys nature and who desires to take a break from the busy and noisy city life. I don't regret anything about our week end, except the fact that we did not stay long enough !
