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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and could not have been made to feel more welcome. I loved the bunches of flowers, and herbs through the cottage. It was cosy, quiet and comfortable. The fire was set for us if we needed it. The cottage is perfectly placed to be handy to town and amenities, as well.

This was our favourite accomodation by far during our recent holiday. Shirley was very friendly and helpful. The cottage is set in a garden with fruit trees, we were able to pick fresh juicy tangelos from the orchard. Private outdoor deck , laundy. loved having a full kitchen which was well equipped and stocked with teas coffees and condiments. The bed was very comfortable, extra thick towels and all sorts of toiletries available.

I felt so welcomed at Shirley’s. The photos of the cottage do not do justice to how lovely it is. It is designed so beautifully and has everything you would need for a stay. To have the fire going and tūī feeding in the tree right outside the window on a winters day was truely idyllic. Thanks for having me.

I had an incredible weekend away from the city in Shirley and Tim’s cottage. It was everything I could have hoped for. I felt very lucky to get to experience their hospitality and share in the beautiful slice of life they enjoy. What can I say that hasn’t been said? Just book this place you won’t regret it!

We had a lovely stay at Shirley and Tim's cottage. It was presented to a very high standard - very well equipped with everything you need as well as warm and comfortable. The photos don't do it justice - it was even better in real life. Shirley was very welcoming. A great base for exploring the Coromandel or for chilling out and relaxing. Highly recommend.

The hostess was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. The setting was lovely being in the orchard and flower gardens. The attention to detail, fresh flowers in each room, original art on the walls,and an excellent comfortable bed made a good nights sleep. Everything you might need was in the kitchen. Media,games and books were provided.
We will be delighted to return again

We loved our 3 night stay. Our dogs got to come with us and without the owners looking after our dogs we wouldnt have been able to do the Driving Creek Railway. We were so grateful to Shirley and her husband for doing this for us. Would definitely come back again, and DEFINITELY recommend staying here.

The cottage is really great value for money - well priced but extremely well appointed. It felt like staying in a home away from home, there was nothing that we could have wanted that wasn't available - a complete kitchen, very comfortable bed, nice size bathroom (shower), and comfortable open plan lounge/kitchen/dining area with fireplace, satellite TV, etc. The cottage is spacious, and the fresh cut flowers was a nice touch. We dined on the covered porch overlooking a lovely English style garden with birdsong and an adjacent orchard. Shirley the host was very pleasant and always up for a friendly chat and making sure we had everything we needed. This was the best holiday accommodation we've stayed at. Highly recommended.

Rustic once passed the lovely driveway but very welcoming.
Tim & Shirley were lovely and helpful hosts.
The gardens were delightful and the oven excellent.
Would have liked to have book with them direct as not impressed with Vrbo’s very unhelpful app
