Great stay in an awesome kiwi bach

Me and a couple of friends used this property for a weekend of exploring and fishing the coromandel coast, we arrived earlier than expected but Allison was happy to allow us access as they had property ready and clean. House had everything we needed, and was extremely well placed for a base. 5minute walk to the beach and 5 minutes drive to the town centre. Will definitely stay again if we are ever in the area.
