Grafton Cottage & Chalets

The Lonely Planets pick for Thames. Nestled high in the hills above Thames, Grafton Cottage and Chalets is in a excluded, peaceful tree-lined setting far from any traffic noise. At the end of each day exploring the Coromandel, relax in the spa, or simply laze by the pool overlooking the sea. BBQ your dinner while watching the sun set over the sea or sample the local restaurants. We offer self contained chalet accommodation in individually designed studio, 1 and 2 bedroom cedar chalets. A delicious full continental breakfast (Grafton Cottage style), on site staff and daily housekeeping is included in the room rate.

Great summer accommodation

Rooms were clean and quiet with amazing views of the ocean. Our host was very helpful and friendly. Loved the complimentary liqueur and the breakfast was good. BBQ, spa and pool were all very enjoyable, especially in the hot, hot weather. My only feedback would be that the pool needs a bit more filtering at times. Would stay again - great Pacifica vibe.

The units to stay in are very nice and well equipped. Just a small walk to the ocean so you get nice sounds to sleep to. The people that run the place are very nice and very good at they're job. Will definitely be going back with our baby next time to have a family holiday

Guests can stay a night or two (or longer) in this charming 152 year old building that has been lovingly renovated into very comfortable accommodation.

Lovely hosts and beautiful building

Perfect place to stay after a day's cycling. Welcomed by Stu and Barbara with a short tour of the house, and offered a complimentary glass of wine and cheese board - lovely! Secure space for the bikes and Stu kindly charged the batteries in his shed. Super comfy beds and rooms are clean and well maintained. Lovely breakfast in the morning which set us up for our day's biking. Thank you for the stay!

We usually stay self catering with our 18 month old son but after reading about Taigh Na Mara and Carol we decided to try a B&B for our long weekend break in Coromandel and it was the right decision. Carol made us feel at home and we quickly felt like we were welcome guests. We had asked for dinner as well and Carol accommodated our diet requirements (plant based) to prepare three amazing dinners. The breakfasts are also brilliant, with Carols home made granola and bread particular highlights. It's a great location, literally 5 mins walk from the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend.

Greeted by the fabulous Harvey and Sue, we enjoyed a couple of nights overlooking the bay in peace and quiet. Both guest rooms are ensuite, have a Smart TV and a small fridge with an outdoor seating area. All very comfortable and they made the bed each day - outstanding. A cooked breakfast is available and this place is the perfect spot away from the noise. Enjoy……

Relaxing Stay at Pipinui Motel

Arrived, phoned a very pleasant hostess and within minutes we were in a lovely beautifully appointed room with all one needs for any length of stay. Absolutely spotless with a well set-up kitchen, spacious bathroom and a very comfortable bed. The motel is in a quiet part of town close to the marina, river and beach and is not far from the shops. Our hostess helpfully commented that the local RSA was a great place to dine and so it was. Definitely recommend this as a very pleasant and relaxing place to stay in Whangamata.

From the moment I rang to the end of our stay John and Amanda made us feel like part of the family! The rooms are in the process of being renovated so we given the gorgeous penthouse overlooking the estuary! What a sight to wake up to! It was so peaceful and quiet it was hard to believe we were staying close to shops and restaurants. The rooms were beautifully decorated, lovely open plan living and super comfy beds. We would recommend this place for sure! Prices very reasonable considering prices charged elsewhere in town!

Decent place

Reviewed By 372jamieb

I had trouble finding a place and this motel had a room. It was totally acceptable. It’s not luxury but that 70s decor didn’t bother me. Spacious rooms to unpack and a kitchen to store food. Easy walk to some good restaurants nearby. I was out all day so it was just a place to sleep. I didn’t mind this place and would stay again.

Reviewed By michellecG2591DJ

We stayed one night midweek and wished we had stayed longer. Convenient location and great little room and ensuite. Very clean, tasteful decor, and very welcoming hosts. Small outdoor seating areas outside the rooms in the nicely maintained gardens. A lovely communal lounge, kitchen, outdoor area and everything you needed to be self sufficient food wise if you wanted. Breakfast was very nice. We had the cooked but there were a couple of other options. We were the only guests but it would be very convenient for an extended family or several couples if they wanted privacy but they ability to mingle that you often don’t get in a motel. We thoroughly recommend it and will definitely make an effort to return.
