My daughter met me in Auckland from California and I came from Texas. Barbara and Stu were so sweet, kind and friendly. The breakfast room has a beautiful rectangle table I wanted to take home with me. The breakfast was amazing! Crispy meaty bacon, tasty sausage and the eggs were perfectly round. Thanks again for everything!

Thames is a quiet town with quite a few coffee shops and a good variety of stores to browse. The supermarket (Pack & Save) was close to where we were staying. There are several locations close to Thames that are worth a visit The Gold mine just north of town Cathedral beach and the hot water beach are worth the time to check out. A scenic drive up to Coramandel town is interesting. Just be careful on the narrow sea side road. Enjoy

Didnt know which cafe to choose, but this one had a lot of people in it, so we chose this one.Hot chocolate cafe. The big breakfast and the pancakes were delicious. Quaint, busy little township, just caught the tail end of the market. We stumbled on another cafe further up, which sold this devine louise cake & caramel wheaty slice. Yummy. I thoroughly enjoyed the Nakontong Thai restaurant for dinner too.

Shared bathroom and toilet wasn't good.
Shared bathroom and toilet wasn't good. Luckily for me there was only one other guest a female but that was awkward as we both wanted to shower at the same time. Lucky for both of us there were not 3 couples staying at the same time.

The Coastal walkway is a good walk. Old town worth a visit.
The Coastal walkway is a good walk. Old town worth a visit. Lots of good places to eat in town and some good shops and cafes. Lots of walks up the Kauaeranga river Valley in the Cormandel Forest Park.
Good base for surrounding areas, we did full circuit of Carmandel from here. Also enjoyed Gold mines tour at Waihi and walks on the Whatawheta river gorge
Chartre Manor was for us an ideal place to stay. We were warmly greeted by Anna-Marie and she went over and above to supply us with breakfast food, snacks, drinks, which we highly appreciated. The location on a hill overlooking the land and the water was great. There were sheep and rabbits in the field, which along with the many birds gave a relaxing atmosphere. The cottage is very quiet and spacious. Thames has several good restaurants. We would definitely stay here again when we visit New Zealand.
WOW !! This is the place to stay if you're in need of some lovely relaxing downtime. The view from our deck was amazing. The room was lovely & clean. The bed was so comfy. Only a quick drive to get to Thames but it felt like you were far away from the hustle n bustle. Alby is so friendly & welcoming. Would highly recommend this place. We'll be back for sure !! Have found our new hideaway :-)
We just spent one night at the motel to escape cyclone Gabrielle so we didn’t get to enjoy the pool or other facilities. But we appreciated the super friendly welcome by the staff and the clean and comfortable room. The location is great to explore Thames and the area. The kitchenette has everything needed to prepare breakfast or small meals. Beds were comfortable and felt fairly new.
Awesome place to take the kids.. everything is there.. pool, mini golf, creek, games room, hot showers, kitchen, laundry facilities...
Beautiful settings - awesome peaceful, safe place to holiday with the family...
and super close to Thames township for shopping, cafes and pubs..
Will be going back again!
Big room and bathroom. Very comfortable furnishings. Kitchen was stocked with all necessary cooking equipment. Lovely little touches like a handmade postcard gift and cards and dice to use for playing games. The hotel was also making a conscientious effort to reduce or eliminate the use of plastics.
Our hosts Ken was very welcoming and gave great advise for our trip round the Cormandel peninsular. Good sized room, comfy bed and very clean. I even used the pool which was clean and very inviting. Outdoor patio area to sit out in. Enjoyed our visit to Thames and the Cormandel peninsular.
Helena at reception was very friendly, helpful and accommodating with our late check in. The caravan was clean, quiet and comfortable. Showers were clean and hot. Very nice campsite nestled in the hills of Thames.
This property is very quaint, and the staff was extra helpful as we acclimated to New Zealand. Our unit was well-sized and perfect for our needs. It's the perfect base of operations for exploring the Coromandel.
Super friendly and helpful owners. Appreciated all the extra details and room service.
Great place for a family to stay in Thames with a view.
Beautiful property, gardens, spa pool and a swimming pool.
Carmel, Sig and Mia have a lovely home with fantastic views across Thames. Having dinner on their deck watching the sun set is magical. They made our family very welcome, and our rooms well appointed.
Great location a short drive to Thames township.
Rooms were spacious and the view was great (enjoyed watching a spectacular sunset).
Staff were friendly and rooms were clean and tidily presented.
A good central location on the main road into Thames. Just walking distance to the city center.
The owner was very pleasant and welcoming.
Excellent parking at the unit door.
Good aircon.
