Coromandel Apartments 4 stars

Coromandel Town

The modern apartments feature stylish furnishings, top quality linen and a leather sleeper sofa. The kitchen is equipped with gas hobs, a dishwasher, a microwave and a stove. Amenities include electric blankets, a DVD player and cable TV. Some have an absolute waterfront location, while others have bush location with water views. 3 apartments are located in central Coromandel Township within walking distance of all amenities. The sea view apartments are within a 5-minute drive of central Coromandel Township. We loved this self contained little house with all of the amenities we needed for a great stay in the Coromandel Peninsula, and we loved the town of Coromandel. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it for a couple, perhaps even with kids since there is also a pull out sofa bed. Great value as well!
