We had an amazing time at Trudie's artist's hostel. She was there to greet us when we arrived and made a point of coming to see us too when we were leaving. The house itself is lovely, set among beautiful native bush with a lovely deck that has a great view. Very comfortable and with everything you need. Lovely, arty decor. The area is amazing with easy walking to Cathedral Cove and Hahei beaches, and all the local shops and cafes. We loved our time here and will definitely be back again. Thanks Trudie for making our stay in the Coromandel so special!
