Highly reccomend this B&B for a romantic getaway. Its set right up on the hill overlooking the ocean, which makes for sublime sunsets. Really beautiful part of the world to explore as well. Family that run the place were lovely, our room was absolutely great, one of the best of our Round the world trip. Wish we could have stayed... More

Stayed a couple of nights in the Kauri unit. One bedroom with separate lounge. High on the hill so a lovely view over Thames. Brilliant for the nights the sunsets arrive (which we got one night). Everything clean and well appointed. Continental breakfast was included in the price and is delivered the night before. Heaps of food and very nicely... More

We (3 couples) enjoyed an overnight stay here on Easter Saturday night and were not disappointed. The view from our adjoining chalets was amazing. The rooms where very clean and the hosts very warm and friendly. There were added touches such as biscuits on arrival. Breakfast was included and also a little nightcap was left in the fridge. It can... More

Was going to say 'nice change from motels' but another reviewer has said it already and I fully agree with the sentiment. We got the Rata'' room ( at the corner ) and not the chalets . Requested for twin single but got Queen. As the room is small I guess it would have even been more crowded with two... More

We booked this property after reading other reviews and definitely was not disappointed. It is up on a hill with beautiful views but what makes this property stand out is the hospitality from the owners. Nothing is too much trouble for them and to arrive to some lovely baked goodies and then have your breakfast delivered for the morning was... More

Stayed for 1 night, up a very steep road on the side of the hill, you need a car. Family run business friendly. Surrounded by trees and birdlife with great views over the Thames firth. It was warm the afternoon we arrived and with no air con it made it a very uncomfortable , there was a fan. However the... More

Grafton Cottages provided the perfect place to stay while exploring the Coromandel and surrounds. The well appointed cottages are in a beautiful spot overlooking the forth of Thames with an interesting little town just down the hill with plenty to do. Really comfortable accommodation and very pleasant surroundings. Very kind and welcoming hosts who did everything they could to make... More
