About this property
Quiet modern apartment with stunning coastal views
The one bedroom apartment is located at Thornton Bay, approximately 10 kilometres north of Thames. It comes with all linen and cleaning is included. The apartment is cozy and has everything you need, and tea and coffee is provided. The beach about 100 metres away, for safe all tide swimming and good fishing. The studio faces north for all day sun and takes in wide sea views off the large deck. The apartment backs onto the Coromandel Forest Park and the native birdlife is abundant. The Waiomu Cafe and the local general store / fish and chip shop are both less than 5 minutes away. Historic Thames is 10 minutes by car, and Coromandel Town is only 45 minutes drive up the beautiful Thames Coast Road. Auckland and Hamilton are both only 1 1/2 hours drive, and Auckland International Airport is just over an hour's drive. Its a great base for hiking, fishing, cycling, or just exploring the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula. The well known destinations of Whitianga, Cathedral Cove, Hot Water Beach, and Coromandel Town are all no more than 1.5 hours drive. Hobbiton is also approximately 1.5 hours drive, and many of our guests do this as a day trip.

There is a barbecue available for guest use. There is a toaster, microwave oven, fridge, tea and coffee provided, but there is no hob or oven. A gas burner can be provided on request. There is a queen size bed in the separate bedroom, and a single bed in the lounge area.

About the host
Hosted by John and Rose
Gidday! My name is John and my wife's name is Rose, and we have lived on the Coromandel Peninsula for 16 years. We have been hosting travelers to our apartment since about 2008. We have two teenage daughters who help us out when they can. We own an eco-tourism business which provides a range of tour options and sightseeing opportunities for visitors. I also own a cycle coaching business. We have 2 Morris Minor cars - a 1950 convertible and a 1971 pickup truck. We look forward to seeing you very soon!
What makes this property unique
Very quiet, we are well away from the State Highway, so there is no traffic noise. The birdlife is spectacular, and the views are great. Spend time in the evening sitting on the deck watching the sun set in front of you.
