Description
Character, Landmark Property: Ground floor spacious luxury apartment with own courtyard garden and plenty of parking for cars and boat. Designer decor with quality furnishings in Tuscan style. Outdoor furniture also supplied. On Colville Road, 13 km north of Coromandel town, right opposite Papa Aroha Bush Reserve and short bush walk to beach (no sea view from inside the apartment).
Papa Aroha is often translated as "The Foundation of Love" - and this is a perfect romantic retreat, with just an easy track (3 min) through pretty bush reserve to reach a very secluded swimming and sunbathing beach. 200m to boat ramp, store, telephone, canoe & boat hire, water taxi to offlying islands. This is a fantastic base for the Kings of the Coromandel fishing competition, Great Art Tour or Homegrown Food Festival, or just exploring the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula. Enjoy good fishing and swimming, bush and river walks, local tourist attractions, and the Coromandel Craft Trail. Enormous easy access carpark has plenty of room for large trailers and support vehicles - this is an ideal basecamp for fishing, cycle or kayak teams or film crews.

“I am writing to let you know we had a marvellous time at your holiday house. Though the wind was a bit of a problem, we managed to get our boat out on most days & caught a lot of fish, though there were a lot of small ones. We also caught a number off the beach surf casting. We enjoyed the walk up the creek & were hardy enough to take a plunge in the pool. You have a great facility & it was a pleasure to be able to enjoy it. Graham & Denise

“The Big Tomato is brilliantly situated for boaties, excellent parking and proximity to Camp Ground where you can launch either in the creek or use the tractor is a huge plus. the islands off the coast are full of snapper. The bach accomodates 4 adults really well, and having linen supplied is a big bonus. Neat outdoor space to have a drink and eat. We’ll be getting back there again! Cheers Colin
