Ocean View Bed and Breakfast is an attractive two-storey colonial-style home with modern decor and comfortable bedrooms. It is nestled in a tranquil hillside bush setting with stunning views over the sparkling waters of the Firth of Thames. The town centre is only a ten to fifteen minute walk. Here you will find a good selection of shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. A ten minute stroll will also take you to the coast with its board walk and bird hide, a fascinating place to while away an hour or so. The Firth attracts a great variety of shore birds, including migratory birds such as the godwit. We have flexible accommodation.On the first floor of our home there are two double rooms (queen-size beds), with shared bathroom (we only let one room at a time unless people are travelling together and are happy to share a bathroom, so they are, in effect, en-suite). On the ground floor is a fully self-contained well-equipped air conditioned apartment, with a double room (again, queen-size beds), a twin room, bathroom, full kitchen, dining and sitting areas, and its own private entrance. Children are welcome. The apartment would be particularly suitable accommodation for families. We can provide a cot for infants or a foldaway bed for older children in any of our rooms for a small extra charge. Laundering facilities are available at a small extra charge. We are a non-smoking home. A particularly attractive aspect of the property is our peaceful, beautifully landscaped garden, with many interesting areas to relax in. The garden features a pond, a blend of native and non-native plantings, a spa pool and a large deck area with guest barbecue facilities. The spa pool has been positioned to take full advantage of the sea views . A great place from which to enjoy the sunset over the Firth at the end of a long day's sightseeing. The top of the garden merges into the Coromandel Forest Park with no visible distinction between the two. You will wake to a chorus of bird song from the large number of birds attracted into the bush and garden.
