Great stay with a view but 15 minute drive to nearest restaurant. Host christine very friendly.
The view was lovely as was the setting other than that there is little to recommend this place. Access would be very difficult for many as the drive was phenominally steep and would make walking out impossible for most. The room was small as was the bathroom tucked away at the back of the bedroom, adequate for a one night stop but not a lengthy stay. Check in was not welcoming (at 5pm which was hardly late) infact it was most off putting as we had to ring the front door bell and wait a while to be be greeted with "Oh I'd forgotton you were coming. You are the ones who booked on line' We were.neither informed of a breakfast nor dinner option at La Casa for our two night stay and when we enquired where we could eat we were told eating options were a 10 km drive away into Thames with no recommendations. We did actually find breakfast the next morning at a wonderful cafe 2km away. Waikamu Beach Cafe. This was our first time in the Coramandel peninsula and Im sure we will return but not to La Casa Im afraid.
Magnificent Viees
Magnificent views of the coast. Beautifully kept grounds with lovely flowers. Room Looked right out to the sea _ lovely. Spanish design cool.
I would give this lodge 10 stars if I could. It was wonderful. The views were fabulous. Christine & Drew were wonderful hosts the gardens around their lodge were so beautiful. If we ever come back to NZ, we will stay at their lodge!!
A wonderful villa and suites with stunning views over the bay and Coromandel, but the highlight was Christine's cooking!
Ocean view
Amazing view, quiet, clean

It was gorgeous! Lovely architecture and gardens. The view is especially breathtaking. I’ve wanted to stay here for years and I was so wonderful . Thank you to the caring hosts also, so welcoming and hospitable!
Absolutely fab! Thank you.
Lovely separate rooms with ensuite in a private house. Own entry onto terrace and the gardens Great views and very quiet. Not too far from Auckland airport which made it an ideal place for us to recover from a long flight
Lovely hosts, beautiful view, amazing gardens, wonderful building. Great value for a wonderful experience.
We enjoyed our stay. A lovely spot to relax and all services excellent.
Had beautiful views and decor
Only stayed one night, wish it could have been longer. Welcoming hospitality, comfortable clean room, everything we needed for a short stay, beautifully kept gardens and the most glorious view. Would love to return.
Drue and Kristine were fabulous hosts. They saw to our every need. What a wonderful place to spend a few days!
We had a lovely time over Kings bday weeknd.
It was a weekend away with my wife for her bday. Our arrival was a little challenging at night to find the driveway. But once we did it was an amazing place with stunning views out over the huraki gulf. Such a place to be and enjoy the beautifully kept gardens and the morening view was stunnning. Thanks for making a bday celebration worth remembering.
They were great host.
Amazing views, beutiful gardens.Bathroom and toilet rather cramped.
extensive, immaculate gardens; unparalleled view from spectacularly situated property. Relaxed, friendly host.
Picturesque at Te Puru
This was our second stay. This Lodge has amazing views over Te Puru Bay with lovely gardens. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming, our room warm and comfortable with everything we needed. Thank you for the delicious ginger cake. Would definitely stay again.
Incredible views, very comfortable with hospitable hosts..Great place to stay 😜
A wonderful Stay
Excellent venue and hosts. Could not ask for more. Great location and excellent views. Christine and Drew were marvellous hosts. Could not have asked for more.
Beautiful location with great views. Very kind hosts. Highly recommended.
Worth your stay
Unbelievable lodge Location few minutes from shops,room & BBq area overlook water, very tidy Owners on site are extremely friendly, helpful & could not do more to make us comfy. They upgraded our twin bed single room to a beautiful double bed room with full water views at no extra cost! We had a full warm Breakfast with prior notice at a minimal charge on their sunny deck.
The Maori heritage was very interesting & significant & it was shared with us by the owners. The view was spectacular! A real bonus for me was the fact that there was a piano which I was able to play
Beautiful setting and view. Highly recommend. Wished we could have stayed longer and experienced a meal.
1 night stay only. The bed was super comfy and I had the BEST sleep. Had my own bathroom and it was very clean, great sized shower. Christine was extremely friendly and very accommodating.
Super view. Great location. Perfect host Would stay there again
Absolutely fabulous
Fabulous Accomodation, views. Our host's were absolutely delightful people. They couldn't do enough for us to make our stay so good
its like a dream...
A beautiful home with amazing views of the bay. The owners are warm & welcoming. I slept like a rock! You can tell this property has been restored and maintained with love.
The view is everything!! The hosts is very friendly, and the bed was super comfy!!
The PLACE to stay in Thames!
AWESOME AND AMAZING. Drew and Chrissy were so lovely and hospitality. The place is small (only has 5 rooms) but that’s why it’s so comfortable and not crowded. The rooms are kept clean and comfortable and the outdoor areas are very relaxing. You can tell that a lot of time, effort and love has been put in to maintain the place. The views are stunning! Wish I could have spent more time there so will definitely go back again.
Fantastic sea views, best on the coast. Site of Te Apata Pa.
Great place in Thames area
The situation was amazing. Fantastic views and amazing sunsets. The owner's were so friendly too.
The sea view is amazing. The garden is full of colourful flowers - beautiful! Also, the owners are very nice.
Quiet and Peaceful
A very comfortable and private location with exceptional views. Welcoming host and well presented facility with lovely gardens. We would be happy to stay again. Thank you.
Such a beautiful property and view! The owners definitely go above and beyond to make you comfortable and to ensure you have all you need. The bbq area was super handy and very nice to sit outside and take it all in
The view was amazing and the owners were lovely. We thought it would have been better if there was a kettle and tea facilities in each room rather than in the hallway.
This place was a little piece of heaven Christine and Drew were so friendly caring and kind and made sure we had everything we could possobly need Our room and beds were so cozy it was like being at home in our own beds The views were so specatacular it was amazing Thank you so much loved it all We sl
Lovely quiet location, views are spectacular and altogether as very relaxing stay
Great place with fabulous views.
Beautiful place with a terrific view. The owners, Christine and Drew, were great, very friendly and accommodating. Their place is situation on the top of a hill with a very long, steep and somewhat gravelly driveway, so walking access is not the best.
A wonderful visit
Owners Christine and Drew were very helpful, friendly and available to us during our three day and two night stay. Room very clean and equiped, and the owners very accommodating in bringing us more clean dishes and extras every day. Overall, a wonderful stay.

Steep driveway
Beautiful grounds, worth a stroll. Challenging driveway. My check engine light came on so I am losing a day at the mechanic. It is very steep, your car will probably be fine, mine is very old. Twin room has one window which is at the entrance of another room so choose between privacy and natural light. Had issues with mosquitos, light switch near only one bed which doesn't have a nightstand. Overall beautiful property with a challenging room (twin), the other rooms seem better.
