A chalk board welcomed us by name and warned us of some slippy steps - it was raining heavily on Christmas Eve when we arrived! And the key was in the door.

The Treehouse was even more charming than in the pictures and everything was very clean. The kitchen though compact had everything we needed to pull off Christmas Dinner!

The location was really handy to Coromandel Town (walkable) which has a couple of take aways, a couple of nice restaurants, a nice pub and a small supermarket. It's also only a 5 min drive to Coromandel Mussel Kitchen and 30 mins to stunning beaches like Waitete Bay.

There is a very cute deck out the back but as it's a bush setting, you do need to be prepared for mosquitos!

A lovely and quirky, Kiwi bach with bags of charm - a wonderful Christmas in a home away from home.
