Alistair - February 2018 Lovely little cottage set in the middle of an orchard. Great location and close to all the local attractions. Very comfortable with everything you could need. Highly recommend.
K. Laver - January 2018 Beautiful place to stay - this was the best accommodation on our trip around the Coromandel. Handy to Cathedral Cove and Hot Water beach and so peaceful and relaxing. We were really glad we stayed at Mercury Orchard rather than in Whitianga. Highly recommend.
Ella - January 2018 Amazing accommodation, excellent hosts with helpful tips and knowledge of the surrounding areas. Beautiful orchard with delicious seasonal fruit. Easy place to settle into and want to stay for a long time. Can't say enough good things about this place!
Tran - December 2017 The cottage was a great place to stay and super close to Hot Water Beach. The place was clean and we were provided everything we needed to know in the handy user guide folder in the house. Diana and her partner were also very lovely and provided us great tips on Hot Water Beach
Max - October 2017 Everything is perfect. Diana has a huge land and we found everything we want in this place. The whole family is so friendly including their little boy. My wife and I had a wonderful time with the lovely animals as well. It was one of the best accommodation experience ever.
Ross H - March 2017 Beautiful place, great people and a wonderful relaxing spot. The house we stayed in was small but beautifully made and impeccably clean. It's in an open orchard, where we had a great time with our 3 and 6 year olds who quickly made friends with the dog Rusty, the two pigs, the chickens - as we made friends with Diana and Roger. It was one of the highlights of our holiday, would thoroughly recommend.
deSchenke - February 2017 Awesome retreat! This was our favorite place to stay on our 21-day trip to North Island. The grounds and orchard are gorgeous! The cottage (we stayed at the Fig Tree Cottage) was charming and had everything we needed. The pictures don't do it justice. We had a lot of fun getting to know Rusty and visited the pigs in the nearby pen. Our host, Diana, was very welcoming and cheery. Two things that aren't in the description and were happy surprises were the free wifi and that the kitchen does have a hotplate. We didn't use the hotplate because we came prepared to grill everything. And the BBQ was clean (can't say that for another place we stayed). But had we wanted to boil pasta, or sauté vegetables, we could have. The wifi that we weren't expecting was speedy! We had some wine and cheese on the deck, looking out over the beautiful orchard and wished we could have spent longer there.
