This truly excellent apartment provides sweeping panoramic views over the Hauraki Gulf. It is a self contained unit attached to a comfortable eco-house which is mainly run on solar power, wind power and wood. A swimming pool overlooking the water is available.

House and apartment were finished in 2010 and have extra wide views from Coromandel to the Whangarei Heads, and are situated in a very remote location only shared with your hosts. You will need a 4WD vehicle for access. Bring your own or ask about vehicle hirage. 

When you walk into your lounge, an expansive view may make you realise that you are not just looking at a view, but that you have become part of it. Take a seat on the comfy couch and just gaze at the ever-changing views over the water.

Keep an eye out for dolphins in the bay, whales in the ocean, gannets over head, and cray fisherman and oceanliners on the water. You may occasionally check that your book is still in your lap and that your drink is still at hand. But you may completely forget about them, too.

Once you are totally relaxed, you could go and explore the island, or go for a swim in the pool that is part of all. The Spot X fishing spot is right down below, a 20 minute ramble down a track takes you to the rocks. Your hosts are happy to show you how to get there.

The apartment comes with one master bedroom with ensuite, but on request, one or two of the quality queen bedrooms in the main house can be rented as well. These two rooms are connected by a bathroom.
