Fantastic bach in a great location, close to everything in Pauanui. The bach is well maintained and has everything needed. Great views towards the estuary and lovely and quiet. Communication from the property owner was also friendly and timely - thanks. We'll definitely visit again.

Very comfortable house in a great location

We loved our stay at the property. The house has everything you need and was very clean and tidy. Peaceful neighborhood at least at this time of the year. Plenty of room for the kids to play in the park next to the house. Tuis visiting the trees of the property everyday was definitely a plus!! Highly recommended!

Beautiful House with a great view!

We had a wonderful time in Coromandel. The house was very cozy and had everything you need. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The highlight was of course the terrace overlooking the water. A perfect start to the day to have breakfast on the terrace. The location is also good. You can make day trips to various beaches. Our host Malcolm was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions. I can highly recommend the accommodation.

Good communication, great location, well appointed.

Great spot and would be awesome in summer. Unfortunately for us both heating sources (AC and Heater) were faulty. Being a winter booking we specifically chose a place with a heat pump but upon arrival found it was faulty, and the backup heater failed also, therefore we were very uncomfortable so cut our stay short and went home. Not a great birthday for the Mrs.

As advertised. How-ever there was /is a building site just over the road so we were woken by hammering most mornings. No mention of this prior to arriving and it was not a new building site. Cant believe the owner didn't know. Also, the BBQ was so black and thick with grease we didn't use it.
