A beautiful, quiet house, provisioned by very thoughtful, responsive hosts. Superb layout for total relaxation (though bring your own reading material - no bookshelf, but plenty of other amusements). We really appreciated the big smart TV with Chromecast.
If you feel the cold in winter, check options for heating upstairs as the installed heat exchange from the downstairs gas fire may not suffice before the sun comes over the hill in the morning.
Not located on the traditional touristy east coast but its coastal drive lacks nothing by comparison. Easy drive up to pretty Coromandel and the full circuit via Whitianga is quite doable in a day. Good pub food and a small store nearby, and everything else 25 minutes away in Thames.
