Grafton Cottage & Chalets

We had a great time here at what was the start of our trip to the Coromandel. We were met by Alby, a more friendly, helpful person you are unlikely to meet. The room was well lit and large enough to spread out and resort our bags from the flights. The view from the window was wonderful, and sitting in the hot tub and reading on the deck made for an enjoyable stay. Although it did not cause us any problems, (and I am over seventy), be aware that the property is near the top of a steep hill, and there are a few steps to the different chalets.

We arrived just in time for the stunning sunset views and the very friendly host Alby was there to greet us and he is very helpful and he even left us some delicious liquor to try. We were in chalet number 3 and the views were stunning, the bed comfortable and there was plenty of space. We booked an extra night as we loved it.There are plenty of places to eat or get take away food just 5 minutes away, the fish and chips were superb, the best we’ve had.

The room being on the edge of the property with an amazing view. Easy to find, great spa, excellent wifi coverage, loved the bay window in the room and the small frypan was perfect. Loved the layout of the property. Very private if no one books room next door.

Albi the host was so warm and welcoming getting us settled quickly and comfortably given the horrible weather. The cottage itself was spacious, warm and well equipped.

The bed, the TV, the gratis baileys, the view, the amazing garden with many banana plants and sugarcane clumps, the taro, the fabulous carvings, the lovely Sharon, the view, the view, the view! I ate a couple of my yellow passionfruit from home, and threw a few seeds into the garden in the hope they will grow for this lovely tropical food garden. There was a nice swimming pool too, but we aren't swimmers. I would love to stay here again.
