What a gorgeous place this is and the view was awesome! The room was fantastic, clean and spacious, you felt like you were tucked away from the world! It was lovely and quiet and the little touches like the chocky biscuits and yummy “night cap” was wonderful. Alby was a lovely host, friendly and a wealth of knowledge about the best coffee places in town! Definitely worth a stay here in Thames.

Amazing host and stunning property. Two minute drive from the mainstreet of Thames and super close to a nice walking track. Bed was extremely comfortable and the whole house was nicely heated. The spa outside was a pleasant surprise. :) Definitely staying again

Thames is a quiet town with quite a few coffee shops and a good variety of stores to browse. The supermarket (Pack & Save) was close to where we were staying. There are several locations close to Thames that are worth a visit The Gold mine just north of town Cathedral beach and the hot water beach are worth the time to check out. A scenic drive up to Coramandel town is interesting. Just be careful on the narrow sea side road. Enjoy

Didnt know which cafe to choose, but this one had a lot of people in it, so we chose this one.Hot chocolate cafe. The big breakfast and the pancakes were delicious. Quaint, busy little township, just caught the tail end of the market. We stumbled on another cafe further up, which sold this devine louise cake & caramel wheaty slice. Yummy. I thoroughly enjoyed the Nakontong Thai restaurant for dinner too.

Shared bathroom and toilet wasn't good.
Shared bathroom and toilet wasn't good. Luckily for me there was only one other guest a female but that was awkward as we both wanted to shower at the same time. Lucky for both of us there were not 3 couples staying at the same time.

The Coastal walkway is a good walk. Old town worth a visit.
The Coastal walkway is a good walk. Old town worth a visit. Lots of good places to eat in town and some good shops and cafes. Lots of walks up the Kauaeranga river Valley in the Cormandel Forest Park.
Good base for surrounding areas, we did full circuit of Carmandel from here. Also enjoyed Gold mines tour at Waihi and walks on the Whatawheta river gorge
Quiet neighborhood and only five single-level units so not a busy property. Easy walk to main street shopping (4 Square market and cafes). You could even walk to Pak N Save depending on how much you are willing to carry back. Cooking facilities were sufficient (which is good because dining options in Thames are limited). Wifi was fast, bed was comfortable. Each unit has a tiny back deck with furniture; lovely sound of the brook flowing past. I don’t know about laundry facilities but there was a drying line.
Chartre Manor was for us an ideal place to stay. We were warmly greeted by Anna-Marie and she went over and above to supply us with breakfast food, snacks, drinks, which we highly appreciated. The location on a hill overlooking the land and the water was great. There were sheep and rabbits in the field, which along with the many birds gave a relaxing atmosphere. The cottage is very quiet and spacious. Thames has several good restaurants. We would definitely stay here again when we visit New Zealand.
Where to begin ... everything fabulous! Very kind hosts, large apartment with great views (sunset!) and everything one might need in the kitchen (and good quality). Anna-Marie provided ample breakfast and other food: home-made cake, cookies and bread, salad from the garden, daily fresh eggs from their own chicken ... fantastic! The property is easy to find and perfectly located for Coromandel coast, the shorebirds at Miranda, Karangahake Gorge or Kauaeranga Valley.
We just spent one night at the motel to escape cyclone Gabrielle so we didn’t get to enjoy the pool or other facilities. But we appreciated the super friendly welcome by the staff and the clean and comfortable room. The location is great to explore Thames and the area. The kitchenette has everything needed to prepare breakfast or small meals. Beds were comfortable and felt fairly new.
Awesome place to take the kids.. everything is there.. pool, mini golf, creek, games room, hot showers, kitchen, laundry facilities...
Beautiful settings - awesome peaceful, safe place to holiday with the family...
and super close to Thames township for shopping, cafes and pubs..
Will be going back again!
Grafton Cottage & Chalets is spectacular! Alby is such an engaging and helpful host. Our room was wonderful ... clean and well-equipped, with comfortable beds, plenty of space, and absolutely breath-taking views from the hillside property toward Thames and of the bay. This is such a beautiful place!
A lovely, comfortable home in a quiet valley in the hills behind Thames. We appreciated the space, access to cooking and laundry facilities, the heated spa, the complimentary breakfast, and the aviation-themed decor. The hosts were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.
Lovely little motel with a great location right next to the sea and with a nice courtyard with bbq. The place was super clean and spacious and the beds very comfortable. We had a great time and would definitely stay there again.
Great location on the edge of Thames and steps away from the beach. A good budget option with comfortable beds. Couldn't close a curtain in the lounge area. Other than that, it was a comfortable stay at a good price.
Helena at reception was very friendly, helpful and accommodating with our late check in. The caravan was clean, quiet and comfortable. Showers were clean and hot. Very nice campsite nestled in the hills of Thames.
Great location a short drive to Thames township.
Rooms were spacious and the view was great (enjoyed watching a spectacular sunset).
Staff were friendly and rooms were clean and tidily presented.
Great Location - only 5 mins walk to the coast line
The host was very responsive to my requests
The house was beautifully presented and clean and tidy , the included breakfast was very generous
The elderly couple at the front desk were amazing. They really made our stay a lot of fun. Also the motel had a friendly cat who wanted to hang out so I rate this place really high.
