Older style but neat and tidy Lockwood home up on the hill with amazing views. The newly built deck overlooking the sea is a standout. Watch out for mozzies at night, the insect screens on the windows are a brillant idea.
The downstairs rooms are the most up to date, the upstairs original house is in need of an update but perfectly acceptable.
The beach itself is not really sand but OK for swimming when the tide is full. The drive to Coromandel township only takes 10 minutes and offers a range of eating choices. Also consider the Mussel Kitchen 3km south of the town as a lunch only option.
