The area is so beautiful and unspoilt! It is quiet at night, dark enough to see all the stars (though use mozzie spray after dark) and the views are incredible in all directions. All directions! There is a small corner shop at the holiday park five minutes walk away, so no need to hop in the car for basics, but Coromandel Town is near enough by car and has everything.
The actual lodging is brilliantly designed and so attractive! The renovations have been very successful, and I particularly liked the deck and the nice leather couch in the living area. There is plenty of cooking equipment, and a good hot shower. Heaters are also available on request if it's wintry. The laundry is just a minute down the hill- cold wash only, don't set the machine to anything else. Powder is available at the office.
Chris and Bronnie were super helpful and friendly, with lots of helpful suggestions and a fantastic welcome book with ideas for day trips (they can take you to some more remote parts for a hike if you want).
All in all, a fantastic and very relaxing stay; I will be returning.
