About this property
Quail Cottage - Quaint, Cosy, Peaceful and Private
The cottage is close to Coromandel's arts scene, restaurants, pubs, craft shops, local attractions and coastal views. You’ll love my cosy Coromandel accommodation as the space surrounding the freestanding, old-fashioned rustic cottage affords total privacy in a beautiful orchard garden displaying a lovely rural ambiance as it backs onto bush-clad farmland. There's also a free carport for a car/boat and it's only 1 km from the town centre and areas boat ramps. My homely retreat is ideal for couples, cyclists, solo travellers, hikers, fishermen or anyone celebrating a special anniversary.
The secluded 140-year-old two room Gold Prospector's cabin-type cottage is completely separate from the host's main house, and is screened off with olive bushes and trees. Outside the cottage you'll find a small porch with some seating and an outdoor picnic table with views into the orchard, making it a great place to view the regions bird life whilst enjoying your evening meal.
The property features a wide driveway access to the cottage and the lower part of the private garden and orchard making it the ideal base to explore this beautiful upper region of the Coromandel Peninsular.

Not suitable for small children under 12 years old
Maximun 2 adults

The bathroom annex is a few steps away from the cottage
