host is a friendly lady. this little wood castle has a lot of personal features which reflect the owner's interest in art. it is a lovely stay though it is too short. but i do enjoy the stay. the location is wonderful. you can walk down to Hahei beach in 5 mins. there are cafe, diary shop, dive shop 2 mins down the road. if you are beach lover or diver, it is a perfect location. hot beach and cathedral cave are both in 5 mins drive. one of the best location in Coromandel.
