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.

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.

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.

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.
