Natalie's place is at the side of her front garden. It is overlooked but has been skilfully screened with plants. To get to the beach you have to walk round the side of her property and through her garden which fronts onto the beach. The beach shack itself does not have views or direct access to the beach. The caravan is very comfortable and clean and quite spacious with a mosquito screen over the bed and a table and chairs for two inside the main living compartment. The kitchen is very small and basic with sink, fridge and a one ring induction plug in hob, a frying pan, a saucepan, and cafetière. Natalie supplied tea bags and sugar. There is a private outside space to enjoy and two deckchairs in the shed. The garden is shaded by palm and orange trees and you have a view over to the Coromandel Forest Park. Te Puru is about 15 minutes drive from Thames, an old gold town, with plenty of shops and a Pack'n'Save. The coast line in the immediate area is beautiful. Natalie an Craig are very attentive and hospitable hosts.
