The hotel was so clean, cozy, and inviting. The ocean is right across the street, offering incredible views and beach access. The location was outside of the commercial center, but still so close it was walkable. Finally, the proprietors were very helpful and pleasant. We will most certainly be back.

The property is conveniently located close tomahor attractions on the east coast fof the Coromandel and close to the beach.
The rate per night however is excessive for what you pay and what you get.
Early morning road noise is not how you want to be woken up in the early hours of the morning.
