Location! This was our first time in New Zealand, and this was the first place we stayed. Boy did we pick the right spot! The location is perfect. It is just outside of Coromandel Town (a cute little town) on a peninsula sticking out into the bay.

The home is comfortable, with a nice wood stove (good for the winter time). The view is absolutely amazing -- better than the pictures show.

The only issue we had was that the internet connection is flaky. It seemed to come and go at random. Other than that, it was an excellent experience which I would highly recommend.
