Three of us had only a couple of nights in Fig Cottage but wish we could have had longer. Barry was running the place on his own whilst his wife was visiting family in Australia. A charming helpful man who couldn't do enough for us. His breakfasts are not to be missed - although the weighing scales may say otherwise.... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and found it very relaxing & enjoyable. The area was so peaceful and made our stay in the Coramandel all that much better. So nice to stay somewhere out of way of the usual tourist places but still they were within easy reach when needed. We really enjoyed the company of the dogs in... More

We stayed in the Fig Cottage for 2 nights and found it incredibly relaxing - a firm favourite in future. The consideration Barry and Heather show for their guests and small touches everywhere make it all look effortless. With the array of animals they keep, the dense orchard of fruit and the neighbours' dog coming over for a play during... More

This place was without a doubt, perfection. We stayed in the Fig Cottage which was perfect. It is so secluded and peaceful amongst the orchard, and yet just minutes away from every attraction you could want. Hot Water beach, Cathedral Cove, a great Macadamia oil farm etc. We BBq'ed each night we were there because it was so nice to... More

There breakfast every morning was FANTASTIC. The freshest of fruits and delicious eggs and bacon. The presentation of... More

We stayed only one night at Mercury Orchard, but wished we could have stayed longer. We had 2 nights at Ferry Landing Lodge and one at Mercury Orchard, and it was a close thing whether we preferred here or Ferry Landing (see separate review). Mercury Orchard has an idyllic setting in the north of Coromandel, a bit inland from the... More

We really loved this place. We chanced upon it after making a last minute decision to add 2 nights in Coromandel to our NZ itinerary. The hosts, Barry and Heather, were so incredibly warm and hospitable (we have stayed in numerous B&Bs over the years, and these hosts were among our very favorites!). They spent a great deal of time... More
