Coromandel Orchard Cottage
One bedroom cedar cottage, nestled into private, tranquil cottage gardens with a veranda, separate patio, and paths leading to the orchards. The property is on 1.5 acres, fully self-contained with one new QUEEN bed Feb 2024 / bedroom, en suite, a double sofa bed in the open plan living area, and a portable crib with bedding provided. It can accommodate 4 people. It is a lovely warm place to stay in either summer or winter as it is north-facing and has a log fire for the winter, with air conditioning and heaters as required. The property is an oasis of a variety of fruits in the orchards which covers the property. Most times of the year there is fruit. At the rear of the property is Driving Creek stream where the first gold was discovered in New Zealand and today you will find crystals there for a souvenir.
Within walking distance (5min) is the famous Driving Creek Railway, where Barry Brickell, a world-famous potter has established a truly fascinating environment, with potters and his world-famous railway PLUS there is now the Driving Creek Wildlife Sanctuary and a new Art Gallery which will exhibit Barry's private collection of very famous artists not to forget the fabulous views of the harbor and islands. Also, see the re-establishment of native trees and wildlife. On the way stop off at the funky Driving Creek Cafe.
The historic village of Coromandel is under 3km away, with fabulous restaurants and craft shops. The 3 local pubs all provide courtesy vans door-to-door. The cottage is 5-8 minutes to the closest safe beach or under 30 mins to the beautiful Whangapoua, NEW CHUMS and Matarangi Beaches on the East Coast, suitable for surfing, sailing, and boogie boarding Also, there are bush walks to native Giant Kauri Trees, artist studios to visit, and a great fishing region - if you do not have a boat we would be happy to organize a trip for you or a trip to the Cape perhaps.

Lovely place to stay. The cottage and gardens were cozy, peaceful and well cared for. Really friendly and welcoming host who took great care of us. We had everything we needed and more (well stocked herbs and spices, hot drinks milk, pamphlets etc) and loved the extra touches such as the flowers.
Lovely place to stay, all amenities that you need plus many extras. Comfy bed, flowers to enjoy and walks in the orchard.Shirley was a lovely host and very helpful, would love to stay again

This place was ideal for my purposes. I loved it there. There so many little touches that were welcoming, like fresh flowers, tangelos from the orchard, fresh herbs from the garden. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great! The kitchen is well equipped. The hosts are on site and took care of me really well. I plan to return and would definitely stay here again.
We had a fabulous stay. The hosts (Shirley and Terry) were the most welcoming of people and could not do enough for us - extremely response and friendly. They made us all, including our dog, feel at home.The place itself was very nice. (The photos do not do it justice.) A very comfortable master bedroom, very nice bathroom with excellent shower. Really well-appointed and stocked kitchenette.The location is lovely. Coromandel Town is such a pretty town with great walks nearby. Would definitely recommend!
Well presented and comfortable stay in a peaceful environment a short drive from Coromandel township. I would highly recommend for singles or couples looking to explore the area or for a quiet break. Beautiful garden setting, lovely welcoming hosts and vibe. I would definitely stay here again.
Very Clean, cozy, modern, comfortable bed, beautiful linen, everything you need and more, gorgeous gardens, quiet and convenient location. Lovely friendly hosts. Highly recommend, great we could take our dog
We really enjoyed our stay! The cottage had everything we needed and was very cozy and comfortable for our family of three! We loved Coromandel Town too!
We had a wonderful 5 day and night stay at this awesome property. Just perfect for us as we explored Coromandel. Will definitely be back. Fantastic hosts.
Shirley was very friendly, welcomed us and made us feel right at home. It's an awesome place, definitely recommend it for anyone to use. Thanks Shirley we really, really enjoyed our stay 😀
We had a wonderful time at Orchard Cottage. The place was perfect and the hosts were lovely. We were able to take our dog to lots of beaches and walking tracks close by. The cottage was ideal for us and we were made to feel very welcome. We would definately recommend.
Spotlessly clean, comfortable, everything you need, privacy, short 5 min drive into town, fantastic gardens and orchards, lovely outdoor area, host Shirley, a very nice woman.
