Allen gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and we shared a beer with him in their conservatory. Valerie was away at the time so we did not have the pleasure of meeting her. Their home is lovely with a beautiful view of the sea. Location is close to restaurants, shops and grocery store and also good for exploring the Coromandel Peninsula. Excellent breakfasts were taken in their conservatory with that lovely view. Our area was very private with a separate bedroom and living area. We really enjoyed our stay at this Airbnb and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Thames.
