Te Timatanga is an extraordinary place to stay and an experience in its own right. The location is wonderful with the river hole down the road and close to coromandel attractions but away from crowds. We had wild weather while we stayed but the house was spacious, cosy and the temperature so lovely inside that we did not mind at all. The colloidal silver spa is large and the view amazing. The property is a family home and a work-in-progress, however the home has been thoughtfully organised for hosting,is very clean and towels, bedding lovely. Watching the grand designs show and then staying in the house is fun as you get to see all the passive techniques at work. The indoor garden is just gorgeous and we all slept like hibernating bears as it is so quiet and warm inside due to the mass of the walls. The bathrooms and bottle glass walls in particular are just beautiful. The home is an absolute labour of love and you can see that in so many details. Thanks Gus and Sarah!
