Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. You will find "The Rock" approximately 35-40 minutes drive from Coromandel township, passing over the Kennedy Bay Road and then onto Tuateawa. There is an alternative route via Colville which is 25 Kms further , but has better roads and less of a hill to pass over. Once here you will be rewarded with an open ocean vista and a gem of a home. Best beaches are Little Bay and Waikawau, with one of Coromandel's best seaview walks just up the road. There are 2 bedrooms and a living room with kitchen and dining within, opening onto a deck where you can dine outdoors or simply relax whilst taking in the breathtaking views. The bathroom has a shower over a bath, with toilet and hand basin, along with a small laundry, and is located 6 steps down from the living area. The spaces are petite yet comfortable and the deck expansive, creating elevated views overlooking the Mercury Islands and the peninsula leading out to Opito Bay. The local habitat hosts rare Kiwi, Kaka, and Bellbird, with the more common native birds Tui, Kereru, Waxeye , Piwakawaka , Grey Warbler and many others in abundance. The morning chorus is quite something! The best swimming beach is Little Bay, with Waikawau just over the hill and about 6kms drive away. Kennnedy Bay is about 8 kms away and is a great place to launch a boat. There is a fish filleting and cleaning station provided . The highly acclaimed Tuateawa Nikau Grove Walk ( one of Coromandel's top 10 walks) starts just up the road from the house and descends down to a magnificent boulder beach , with wonderful views and a wild coastline. It takes about 35 minutes to return to the house. Should you be staying for an extended period of time the circular trip via Colville and then Coromandel , to restock the pantry, will take you about 3 hours , so planning ahead of time and for the duration of your stay may be the best strategy. Once here ....... you will never want to leave.
