Mercury Orchard

Mercury Orchard is a place of peace, tranquillity and relaxation. The orchard was established around 1960. The main house was one of the first farm houses here in the area, an original homestead. We bought the property in 2015 as an existing B&B. We are very grateful to the previous owners Barry and Heather Scott for creating this beautiful property. 

​On our 5 acres of land you will find 200 fruit trees (apple, citrus, pear, plum, fig, feijoa, guava and more), a vegetable garden, glass house, two ponies, two pigs, a dog, a cat and a few chickens, extensive gardens with beautiful flowers, tall old trees, many hidden corners and a salt water swimming pool. 

Our aim is to live in a mindful and sustainable way and we appreciate all nature has to offer. Our grounds are set up to permaculture principals and all our vegetables and fruit are grown to organic standards. 
​
We invite you to wander around the property, explore the orchard, gardens and find the hidden places. Sit down on one of the bench seats or the lawn and just be... enjoy this beautiful piece of nature, listen to the bird sounds, smell the blossoms and flowers, wind down and relax.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"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."
