Quail Cottage - Quaint, Cosy, Peaceful and Private

The cottage is close to Coromandel's arts scene, restaurants, pubs, craft shops, local attractions and coastal views. You’ll love my cosy Coromandel accommodation as the space surrounding the freestanding rustic cottage affords total privacy in a beautiful orchard garden displaying a lovely rural ambiance as it backs onto bush-clad farmland. There's also a free carport for a car/boat and it's only 1 km from the town centre and areas boat ramps. My homely retreat is ideal for couples, cyclists, solo travellers, hikers, fishermen or anyone celebrating a special anniversary.

The secluded two room Gold Prospector's cabin-type cottage is completely separate from the host's main house, and is screened off with olive bushes and trees. Outside the cottage you'll find a small porch with some seating and an outdoor picnic table with views into the orchard, making it a great place to view the regions bird life whilst you evening meal cooks on the BBQ.

The property features a wide driveway access to the cottage and the lower part of the private garden and orchard making it the ideal base to explore this beautiful upper region of the Coromandel Peninsular.

Beautiful cottage!
The cottage was beautiful with so much character, books and games, and lovely options for outdoor chill areas. We spent about half our trip relaxing at the cottage as it was so homey and welcoming. Shane was inviting and as a travel magazine author had great recommendations for the very quiet town. 10/10 hope to be back.

Quirky quaint cottage, small but well provisioned. Outdoor bathroom was fine for us but would be pretty brisk in cold or wet weather. Pleasant and accommodating host. Private and close to everything.

Quaint Cottage
I liked the cottage it was cute and comfortable. There was very limited wifi and I did not enjoy having to go outside to the outdoor seating to get wifi. I wasn’t aware the toilet and shower were outside. I wasn’t too happy about that. Overall it was a comfortable stay. Best sleep had in all holidays awww bed and pillows were awesome 👏 Shane was a great host and made sure we had beautiful flowers in our room upon arrival.

Excellent stay for a single or couple. Very quiet semi rural, private at back of property. Only a few minutes to town and great restaurants. Main cottage perfectly adequate. Detached toilet and shower is fun and ok but might not suit the more sensitive or private person.

Lovely setting
A lovely quirky historic cottage in a quiet semi-rural setting, a short pedal bike ride from the main township, that ideally suited my needs for a quiet relaxing holiday. Shane is a good host, respectful of one's privacy. There were however a few surprises like the electrics - you can only have one appliance working at a time (rather worrying), the door that has open air to all the elements and the outdoor toilet and bathroom, which is lovely on sunny days, but not so much on wet. The old camper in me was fine with it, I just would have liked to have been aware prior to making my booking. Regardless, I had a lovely stay and enjoyed exploring the area.

Charming heritage cottage set in peaceful orchard not far from town. Host is very hospitable and helpful. A slight drawback for us was the outside bathroom and toilet, as I have difficulty walking at the moment. Otherwise, very pleasant.

Quiet, lovely stay
After 2 weeks of touring about the North Island I can say without hesitation that Shane’s bach is easily the most pleasant. Start with Shane; welcoming, engaging, knolwdagee, the perfect host. The grounds are simply wonderful, full of life. And the Bach itself is a quaint and comfortable place to stay. Really cannot recommend it more sincerely.

Quaint Cottage is a true delight
This wee miners' cottage is just a delight! Perfect for the two of us to base ourselves for a few nights. Great location, and totally private and quiet. Shane is a wonderful host. If you want a few days away from all the stresses of reality this is the place for you.
