The chalet's location is awesome with great views both over the gulf and inland. It's not far into Coromandel Town which is great for shopping and eating out (the local mussels are fantastic). And heading north on the peninsula takes you to the Coromandel coastal walk which is just lovely.
The chalet is well appointed but also a little rustic which is charming. although if you're a tall person you might find the double bed a bit of a squeeze. Chris (the host) was very welcoming and helpful and had some good suggestions for things to do on the peninsula.
