I had unforgettable great time at Carols Place. Her ocean view is fantastic! She is a wonderful, lovely and carrying person. She knows so much about the environment of NZ and is very engaged of taking care of the environment. If you are a open minded and uncomplicated person you will have a beautiful time at her house. She lives very close to the city of Coromandel, there you find everything you need. Supermarket, very good fish'n chips restaurant and beautiful decorated artist shop (weta design) run by a very friendly woman. It was very nice that i could use her washing machine. That's why I give Carol five stars!
