My partner and I had the pleasure of staying at Quail Cottage over the New Year. Shane was a wonderful host, providing added tips and extra info prior to our arrival to make our visit to Coromandel go smoothly. He has compiled info on the area that truly rivals TripAdvisor, with all you could possibly want to know and plenty that you won't find online. The Cottage itself is quaint, quiet and quintessential Coromandel. Beautifully maintained, with impeccable attention paid to the details. Gorgeous gardens and birdlife, close enough to town to walk but far enough to be lovely and peaceful. Thank you Shane, I hope you don't lose anymore beautiful trees to the storm this summer!
