Nice view, comfortable and clean, close to intersection but not too noisy, walls are thin, could hear the neighbours but was no problem, a coffee sachet for the plunger each morning would be good and maybe coffee sachets could be upgraded to a better brand. Would stay again.

The property is conveniently located close tomahor attractions on the east coast fof the Coromandel and close to the beach. The rate per night however is excessive for what you pay and what you get. Early morning road noise is not how you want to be woken up in the early hours of the morning.
