We
had a weekend away in Coromandel, but we stayed in a motel as it was
only for 1 night and we didn't feel like taking the house for 1
night.
We
went to view a property a friend has offered us to stay on at Kennedy
Bay. It is a farm, which the neighbour uses and the family camp on in
the summer. There were about 5 long drops around the place where they
camp; 2 huts and a fish cleaning sink. It's about 2 ks from the
beach. Really secluded. From the road a stand of manuka trees hide
the paddock where the huts are. We would have to trim the trees a bit
to get us through without scratching the sides of the van.
The
road to Kennedy Bay is pretty windy and gravel in places. Eddie
said we would get through ok, but the locals go quite fast on the
road and use it all, which was a bit disconcerting. I am not sure I
could cope going over it once a week to get the shopping and use the
laundromat in Coromandel town. There is no electricity at the farm.
It
is something to think about anyway. We aren't quite sure if we will
take up the offer or not. No rent, so that's a bonus.
