We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage, hosted by Anna-Marie and Johan. The cottage has charm, beautiful views and it’s in a very quiet location. The space is private with ample parking for a large car. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need, and Anna-Marie keeps the fridge stocked with all essential items, breakfast and snacks throughout the day. There was fresh eggs, bacon, cheese, jam, bread, croissants, smoked salmon, fruit, yogurt, cereal, all different kinds of beverages, cookies, etc. Anna-Marie also stopped by and delivered fresh produce and additional snacks! She was warm, welcoming, and very quick to respond to messages. The small kitchen has everything you need, including a portable HOB burner and an electric frying pan for cooking. Everything is stored in the kitchen cupboards. We loved having air conditioning as we were there during a heat wave. Finally, the best part of our stay was the hospitality of our hosts. I highly recommend this peaceful paradise!

Chartre Manor is set in a great location - high on a hillside above Thames with great views over the Firth of Thames. The sunsets are spectacular. Anna-Marie is a great host - couldn't do too much for us and the cottage is very well stocked with foodstuffs for breakfasts/snacks.

TV in cottage has good range of Sky channels - but wasn't "smart", so no Netflix. Also, booking.com says there is a washing machine in the cottage - it isn't, it is in an adjacent garage and, unfortunately, didn't work properly whilst we were there.

A charming property separate from the main house which gave us privacy. Accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable with wonderful views of the bay and surrounding lands. Our hosts were very helpful, informative but especially accommodating with our needs. Anna Marie is so obliging and a wonderful cook. Her breakfasts were exceptional with generous provision and delicious extras. The accommodation is very well provided with all the necessary gadgets High made self catering so simple. Thanks Anna Marie and Johan. Pool use was so welcome.

We thought no barbecue might be a slight issue but it quickly proved to not be a problem at all due to the very well equipped kitchen meaning we could still enjoy superb Angus steaks, thanks NZ.

This was our second time here. We love the quiet location, view over farmland and distant view of the bay with sunsets. Anna-Marie has been so generous and friendly, which has very much enhanced our stays here. The cottage is spacious with all that's needed for cooking and relaxing. It is not far to good walking tracks and the ocean. Plenty to see in the greater area. Thanks again and we hope to return.

We can’t say good night good things about Anna-Marie and this charming bed-and-breakfast. The amenities and all the extra touches that she puts into your stay shows how much she loves being a hostess for people traveling through New Zealand. Everything was superb! From the linens, to the bathroom, to the food including homemade scones, to the stunning view of Thames, the little sheep right beside us—the list could go on and on.

Absolutely nothing could have been better-:)

Great location overlooking Thames and a lovely rural outlook including a field containing their sheep. Very generous provisions for breakfast and a spacious accommodation.

The hosts spent a lot of time whilst we were cooking and eating dinner trying to get the payment through despite having all the appropriate information - apparently they did want the expense of an EFTPOS machine and were trying to use their bank portal to receive a push notification from my bank in Australia. Stayed in a lot (13 properties in NZ) on this trip and fortunately the rest had a lot more efficient administration at reception. Access, sign and steep driveway could have been better.

A fabulous place up on the hill above Thames. We only spent one night here but it would be great for longer as there is a comfortable living room, well equipped kitchenette and a dining table inside and one outside. The sunset from the veranda outside was amazing to see. The welcome from Anna-Marie & Bailey the dog was so lovely. Breakfast provisions were very generous and the home made apple pie and cream was gorgeous.

Nothing.

Chartre Manor was for us an ideal place to stay. We were warmly greeted by Anna-Marie and she went over and above to supply us with breakfast food, snacks, drinks, which we highly appreciated. The location on a hill overlooking the land and the water was great. There were sheep and rabbits in the field, which along with the many birds gave a relaxing atmosphere. The cottage is very quiet and spacious. Thames has several good restaurants. We would definitely stay here again when we visit New Zealand.

Where to begin ... everything fabulous! Very kind hosts, large apartment with great views (sunset!) and everything one might need in the kitchen (and good quality). Anna-Marie provided ample breakfast and other food: home-made cake, cookies and bread, salad from the garden, daily fresh eggs from their own chicken ... fantastic! The property is easy to find and perfectly located for Coromandel coast, the shorebirds at Miranda, Karangahake Gorge or Kauaeranga Valley.

Spectacular views in all directions; extremely generous host (both in terms of her time and availability for questions or to discuss the area and also what is provided in the cottage for breakfast); fully equipped with everything we could possibly need; spacious and clean; excellent location that could serve as a base for numerous day trips
