“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 March 2013

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

“Wonderful and friendly place to stay”

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

“B&B with a personal touch”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2013

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. The views over the garden at the back and the water at the front were lovely thanks to the high position of the property, at the top of a very steep hill.... More

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

“Faultless”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2012

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.

The Ocean View B & B is a super place to stay in Thames, and if you want to explore the Coromandel and surrounding area. Steve was a fantastic host.
