We absolutely loved our off the grid experience at Barbel’s place. She is a fabric artist and we were fortunate to be able to relax on her homemade pillows; truth be told, her whole place and lifestyle is a work of art. The fabric art piece seen in her listing is even better in real life, and her whole guest house is super comfy and wonderful.
This would be a perfect writers retreat where one could spend countless hours out on the deck overlooking the tree ferns and forest views. We had a lovely walk to the beach, about 45 minutes, through luscious farmlands, and the beach is stunning; you could walk for a good distance along the water edge if you have the time and energy. We wish we had booked more time with our lovely host, Barbel, at this stellar guest house in the heart of the remote Coromandel.
