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.

Reasonably priced for what it was, basic & standard. Needed a spring clean and tidy up in the garden. Was not as quiet as I thought it would be. Good views.

A gem!
A lovely tidy, modern and cared for little bach with everything you need for a getaway. Gorgeous views of the bay and stunning sunsets to be enjoyed from the deck. Close stroll to an inviting beach away from the crowds - this bay is a gem! Owners were super friendly (as was their lovely cat). Definitely keen to visit again - thank you for a wonderful few days escape!

Happy Anniversary To Us
A fantastic 3 day get away at Queen's Birthday Weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We loved walking on the beach before the rain set in. A trip to Whitianga up and around the Peninsula to visit friends and into Thames a few times for the Saturday market and dinner. The bach was clean and tidy, easy to heat when it got cold and had everything we needed. Knowing that it did not have full cooking facilities wasn't a problem, as we planned for this. Towels and bedding being provided was a bonus too. Lovely host - John welcomed us and gave us tips and information of what we could do during our stay. Loved the nature and the native birds singing to us in the morning, even though it was raining. Would recommend this bach to stay at. :)
