We loved finding your place. It was a wonderful spot to do our exploration of the Coromandel Peninsula from. We went to see the Square Kauri Tree amazing old ancient forests from prehistoric times. Driving across the mountains was an experience. We walked to the Cathedral Cove - beautiful! The apartment is spacious and offered everything we needed. We especially loved the views from the lanai and from your beds of the water, coast, sunset and full moon. The street and driveway is steep, but we became experts after the first time. Thank you Rose for being so supportive and connecting our daughters as co-students at the University of Otago in Dunedin. Thank you!

Quiet Modern Apartment in Ngarimu Bay

I had four enjoyable days in Ngarimu Bay. This is an ideal apartment for anyone wishing to visit the southern area of the Coromandel Peninsular. It is furnished to a high and modern standard and is very comfortable. It has a lovely, elevated decking area at the front of the apartment which overlooks the bay. It is also an easy drive to the main town of Thames which has ample shopping. I would recommend the apartment for a short or long stay for those visiting the area.

A lovely tidy, modern and cared for little bach with everything you need for a getaway. Gorgeous views of the bay and stunning sunsets to be enjoyed from the deck. Close stroll to an inviting beach away from the crowds - this bay is a gem! Owners were super friendly (as was their lovely cat). Definitely keen to visit again - thank you for a wonderful few days escape!

Happy Anniversary To Us

A fantastic 3 day get away at Queen's Birthday Weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We loved walking on the beach before the rain set in. A trip to Whitianga up and around the Peninsula to visit friends and into Thames a few times for the Saturday market and dinner. The bach was clean and tidy, easy to heat when it got cold and had everything we needed. Knowing that it did not have full cooking facilities wasn't a problem, as we planned for this. Towels and bedding being provided was a bonus too. Lovely host - John welcomed us and gave us tips and information of what we could do during our stay. Loved the nature and the native birds singing to us in the morning, even though it was raining. Would recommend this bach to stay at. :)
