Perfect little spot for decompressing. Definitely stop at the Four Square In Coromandel before heading up. I didn’t find any heat so be sure to have layers. If you’re not a terribly adventurous driver, be sure to have a car that easily handles extremely curvy, dirt roads. I was in a silly little hatchback which mostly did fine, but it skid a few times when turning on gravel. DON’T take your eyes off the road to look at the views! The road is higher in the middle and I found myself drifting to the side when I looked out. There are no rails in places, just cliffs. Keep an eye out for hawks (falcons?) snacking on possums. Yum.
The place itself is exactly what you expect. Cozy, homey and amazing views. Lots of sun (on sunny days) and bird song. There was a cheeky bird that sounded like an iPhone—just ignore him. Comfortable bed, nice hot water (but don’t take a long shower or that water becomes not to hot). I drove south to a beach just down the road and reveled in the solitude....with birds and a couple estuary cows. And amazing light at golden hour.
Ramble, ramble... just go to there!
