We had a wonderful stay at Roger and Diana's place, it is a beautiful location and really close to hot water beach, cathedral cove (do the longer hike from Hahei beach to get there, it's not too long and the views are incredible the entire way!!), and Whitianga. It was a perfect base for exploring the Coromandel Penninsula and Roger had great suggestions for things to do in the area. We absolutely loved the Coromandel Penninsula and really wished we had stayed longer at Mercury Orchard.
