Etienne - March 2025 The accommodation was perfect adapted to our expectations with a 2 year old, Roger was very good tips for the places to see and allowed us to learn more about their ecoresponsible lifestyle. We strongly recommend this place for a small family. (Translated from French)
Crystal - March 2025 Love love love everything about this home. The views, the animals, the conversations. Everything was like a fairytale. The fruit from the farm was delicious (even tried a new type of fruit I’d never had!), the tub was perfect for a nice relaxing soak after being at the beach all day. Will be coming back here when I visit NZ again. 11/10
Amanda - January 2025 Best accommodation so far on our honeymoon ( 3 weeks in and only one more week to go). The hosts were really friendly and gave us great recommendations where to go during our stay! The garden was wonderful with different kinds of fruit! We loved it so much that we extended our stay with an extra day. The accommodation has everything you need and was very clean! It’s situated only a 10 minute drive to pretty much everything you want to see in coromandel! We would love to come back!
Danielle - January 2025 Really loved our stay here thankyou so much for hosting us loved the nature fruit and animals and recommendations and the bath under the stars was amazing thanks again highly recommend.
Eileen - January 2025 We had a great stay at the Mercury Orchard. Diana and Jet the dog were very welcoming!
Whitney - December 2024 Staying at Diana and Roger’s little Bach was awesome. Roger gave us great recommendations for some of their favorite beaches and places to go which ended up being our favorite spots. Diana brought me a band aid when I got a blister, and we just felt really at home even just in three days. If we come back to NZ I know we will definitely try and come stay here again. It was like a little beautiful oasis in coromandel, such a magical farm; fresh plums and fruit and waking up to birds and the rooster was lovely. Missing it already, can’t recommend this place enough!
Peter - April 2024 Lovely stay, very peaceful and not far from beaches etc. Lovely to wander around the section seeing the animals. Diana and Julie were lovely and very helpful
Michelle - February 2024 We stayed at Mercury Orchards the first two nights of our trip in New Zealand and couldn’t be happier! It was a lovely, peaceful place in an amazing location. We loved the local recommendations and had a great time.
Naomi - February 2024 Diana's place is very peaceful and beautiful. It is very close to Hot Water Beach, Hahei and Cooks Beach - all within 15 minute drive. The orchard is beautiful to look at while having morning coffee. The bed was comfy, BBQ worked well, shower had good pressure.
Sara - January 2024 Loved my stay! Roger was super helpful and share lots of tips for the area! Loved hearing about the use of the land and Roger’s artwork! Would 100% recommend
Rosmarie - January 2024 Great! We had a perfect and lovely stay in a unique environment at the alternative farm. We would have loved to stay longer and if we visit NZ again, we’ll stay here for sure. There is everything you need, lovely people, we loved very much to talk to them, friendly animals (Jet, the young dog, came every morning to say hello). It is a relaxing and quiet area, within less than 10 minutes driving you reach little villages at the beach. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need. It is not only a place to sleep, it is a place to live, you feel the heart of the people and the nature. Thank you for having the possibility to meeting you and to stay at your home and hope to see you again!
Jeanne - January 2024 Diana was very kind, and the place was gorgeous inside and out. The property has enormous trees as well as fruit trees and she shared the fruit with us.
