Your nature retreat
Experience genuine Kiwi hospitality and connect with locals as our guest at Fantail Hill. You will be staying in a beautiful coastal location at the base of the Coromandel Peninsula, close to nature and surrounded by tree ferns and native bush.
Enjoy your own cosy bed and breakfast suite with relaxing sea views, friendly service and generous homemade provisions delivered to your suite each day.
Our two bedroom guest suite is ideal for either a couple, or up to four family and friends travelling together.
Located on the upper floor of our home, you have a lounge/dining, kitchenette and bathroom exclusively for your use. Both bedrooms enjoy expansive sea and hillside views and a place to enjoy the magnificent west coast sunsets.
Secluded, yet close to Thames, we are located in the "Golden Triangle ", just 90 minutes drive from Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga.
​
We love our guests to relax and enjoy their time at Fantail Hill, so have a minimum two night booking requirement.
​
Organic & Handcrafted
Our focus at Fantail Hill is on a warm welcome and organic homemade produce. We love to create delicious breakfasts for our guests featuring ancient grain sourdough bread (a traditional family recipe passed down from Siegfried’s grandmother), home made muesli, preserves from our own fruit and honey from the local Fantail Hill bees.
We offer a selection of plant based milks (in addition to cow’s milk) plus gluten free bread on request.
