Steve and Julie greeted us warmly whilst offering a glass of wine to enable us to unwind after our long drive from Paihia. Negotiating a way through the usual Friday afternoon traffic jams around Auckland had raised the stress levels somewhat. Within a short while we were relaxed and able to appreciate what a wonderful location we had chosen for... More

After reading all of the favorable reviews on this site my husband and I stayed at the Ocean View for one night while we were exploring the Coromandel Peninsula. We arrived mid morning (from Auckland) and dropped in to make sure we could find it before driving around the peninsula. Other guests were just leaving but Steve greeted us warmly... More

My father and I recently spent two separate nights in the Ocean View apartment. It was a great place to start and finish our trip, an easy drive to and from Auckland airport. The room was spacious, very clean and had all the essentials and more. Each night was an opportunity to interact with the very friendly and sociable hosts,... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at Ocean View on Thames. We had the first floor two-room suite which was very comfortable and equipped with everything we needed.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom self contained apartment which was great and had everything we needed. Cake on arrival was a nice touch and access to a dvd collection was great for a night in. The views out over the water are lovely but for the view you pay the price of being quite high up and so its... More

Excellent accommodation - actually a two room suite ie. ensuite bedroom plus sitting room with fridge, tea/coffee making facility, TV etc. Breakfast (full English cooked to order) is excellent, hosts are efficient and friendly and prices are reasonable. Difficult to ask for any more. We would definitely stay here again.
