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.
