    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

    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.

    Breakfast provided was so good, fresh bread, milk and all the necessary items. Really really stunning views , 2min walk across the road and youre at the beach! Beautiful deck with chairs, best place to watch the sun go down - prime spot - if you love golden hour and taking sunset pics!! Access to house was so easy! we couldnt believe we had the entire cottage for the price it was! One of the best places I have stayed at in New Zealand. Highly recommend this place! Hopefully oneday we will be back!

    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.

    The property is a beautifully maintained gold rush era hotel. Stu and Barbara were very welcoming and a glass of wine was just what I needed after a tough day of driving. The complimentary breakfast was also lovely. It was a shame I only spent one night at a place with such character and old world charm.

    Everything! Situated above Thames with great views, Anna-Marie and Johan were perfect hosts for our 3 night stay. The Cottage is spacious and comfortable. The breakfast provisions were more than generous and Anna-Marie kept us supplied with additional treats.

    Firstly, the view from the window was beautiful but the best part for me was the spa and swimming pool, even though I didn't have time to enjoy the facilities this time I would probably choose to stay longer on my next visit to Thames!

    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.

    This property is very quaint, and the staff was extra helpful as we acclimated to New Zealand. Our unit was well-sized and perfect for our needs. It's the perfect base of operations for exploring the Coromandel.
