My husband and I stayed at Mark's Eco Cottage when the seafood festival was on at Coromandel. We absolutely loved the place. It was so unique and very welcoming. We had the fire going in no time and candles lit all over the place. The outdoor shower was awesome. We appreciated the time Mark took on Sunday morning to show us his vegetable garden based on Permaculture principles. And to top it all off he gave us some vegetables from the garden as well as homemade sourdough rye bread. It tasted exactly like like, if not better (because not as heavy) as the bread I used to grow up with in Austria. Thanks for a great stay.
