"Very nice stay "

"Lovely cottage very eclectic like being in a fairytale Studio compact but had everything you needed , shower was very good clean towels provided every day . The view was amazing you had a private balcony looking over the Thames estuary . Sun sets were beautiful . Altogether we had a resting 4 nights away "

"Upon arriving we were hesitant that we’d found the right address. The absolute beauty of the location had not been given its due justice from the online photos. The new owners have done so much to revitalize the rooms, overall property and gardens. The panoramic view was epic."

"Great spot to unwind and switch off - perfect for feeling like you’re completely out of the city without having to drive for hours. Hosts were great and found perfect mix of friendly/accomodating while also giving privacy. Highly recommend taking the short trip over to Pokeno butcher and making the most of the coal barbecue provided."

"Excellent rooms and staff"

"Lovely location with seaside within 1 min and a stream just next to our apartment. Loved the birds and sunset viewing. Minimal road noise in unit 5. Clean room. Comfortable beds. Newly renovated bathroom and toilet. Full kitchen appliances and shared BBQ facilities. It just lacks some cooking utensils: baking dish to use in the oven, big salad bowl and a cover for the frying pan. Owner was very accommodating - She let us check in without pre-payment as we arrived late. Thames is a pretty little town. We enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended. "

"Friendly helpful staff, clean spacious room with a back patio area. Outdoor pool and nice grounds. "

"Really well maintened. I extended my stay 3 times."

"This is a lovely campground. "
