This is a taste of the "real" Coromandel, comfort and surrounded by regenerating forest, birdsong, and a peaceful atmosphere. Gen and James met us when we arrived and were most welcoming, relaxed and friendly. The main home was hand-built by Gen's dad from pine trees growing on the land. Warm, sheltered, cosy and nicely decorated, a real gem.
Gen's dad showed us around. There are 2 smaller separate units in the forest, and a larger house uphill - each is different, they all look good. You feel as if you're in your own little patch of Eden, yet you're just 1km up the road from the quiet little town of Coromandel. This is probably the nicest places I've stayed in on the peninsula, and I've been visiting here for almost 50 years, shame it took so long to find!
