We had a lovely stay in Thames while exploring by the Coromandel which was around a 1 to 1.5 hour drive away. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped with a kitchen sink outside for washing up, a microwave and a fridge allowing us to self-cater with basic food despite not having a kitchen. The beds were very comfortable and there were two nice communal spaces through the lounge and the dining area. Netflix on the TV was a nice plus for evenings relaxing after long walks! Would highly recommend this place if you have a car for exploring the surrounding areas.
