The property is conveniently located close tomahor attractions on the east coast fof the Coromandel and close to the beach. The rate per night however is excessive for what you pay and what you get. Early morning road noise is not how you want to be woken up in the early hours of the morning.

A very enjoyable stay.

Had a great stop here, the managers are very nice and obliging. Rooms was very clean and neat. Good cooking facilities and large bathroom. Bit of a walk into town, about 2kms. Views of the beach and sunrise. Would not hesitate to stay here again if we were in the area.
