    We were greeted with genuine warmth by Denise and Malcolm There's plenty of space & comfort. The bed linen was top quality. The garden & view are lovely and full of birdsong. Watch the sunset The bathroom is spacious & having it outside is an irrelevance against the overall quality & friendliness

    Denise made us feel very welcome from the get go. The hospitality was amazing! She had a whole bundle with things to do, menus from almost all restaurants in Coromandel and was always happy to share some travel tips. Parking was included in the price as well. Thanks for that, Denise. The room was clean and cozy. The view was amazing! Bath room was located outside, which was a first for us but given the bath room itself was clean and high-end, no complaints about that. Just a little inconvenient at night. Tv wasn’t really working either (Extremely slow). Although you can do without as well with this view! Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

    I'm trying to be objective, however, there was nothing that we could fault.

    The view was wonderful. Very private accommodation, beds very comfortable, facilities excellent. Immaculate presentation. Our hosts Dennise and Malcom, made us feel special. Only 10 minutes to Coromandel Town with very good cafes and restaurants. Our stay was quiet and peaceful, wish we could have stayed longer.

    The bathroom is a little walk across the patio. Nice touch leaving torches by the bedside though.

    Beautiful apartment under the owners own home. Malcolm and Denise were lovely and helpful explaining where the best places were. Everything in the apartment was top quality. Loved it.

    I don't know if the gas-powered grill on the terrace and a microwave can replace a hotplate. We have refrained from cooking our breakfast egg.

    Modern furnished apartment with very good bed. Incredible view of the port of Coromandel City. In the Bird Haven you are actually awakened at dawn by a polyphonic concert of the birds. Good wifi.

    The stay was exactly what we wanted, close to Coromandel and yet separate enough to be much quieter.

    The only slight negative is the separation of the bathroom. Oh we had a little trouble using the TV - reception was poor and response slow. My wife also found it quite difficult craning up to see the screen.

    We found the place very relaxing, the views beautiful and the garden and bush surrounds very peaceful.

    The only thing is that we could hear some movement from upstairs, but it wasn't noisy. Bathroom was a step outside, but private & covered so not a problem.

    Fantastic location & view. Quiet and peaceful. Very well equipped. Very friendly & helpful hosts. Appreciated the folder with suggested walks & activities. BBQ & covered outdoor seating area.

    Bird Haven is a gem, and suited our needs perfectly. Denise and Malcolm were wonderful hosts.

    Not so much a dislike (or a deal breaker), but since I've been asked about what would make the stay even better: Future guests should note that access to the toilet and shower requires leaving the unit and taking a few steps outside (the bathroom is immaculate though!).

    Wonderful hosts; great home baking; and a very reasonable price. Denise and Malcolm offer the sort of hospitality that is now largely missing from the "AirBnB" sector. I don't think we've ever stayed in holiday accommodation where we've been made to feel so genuinely welcome and cared for! We would happily stay again.

    Only that the bathroom is just outside,but nonetheless is beautiful aNd the shower is very powerful. They have done the best they can re bathroom,as not enough room inside to put an e suite.

    Lovely couple,so friendly. Some love.y homely touches,homemade bred,homemade cakes on arrive. Breakfast is left in the apartment,which is great,no pressure to get up early,just have it when you choose. Bed really comfy,views are amazing. Denise very kindly let me use the washing machine and let me hang my clothes out to dry
