Chartre Manor was the best place we stayed in while visiting New Zealand. We could not have imagined better care and service from Dennis and Pauline, who treated like family from the minute we walked in their door! The view was fantastic - you have to catch the sunset from there - and the place itself is gorgeous. Our room... More

Chartre Manor, Pauline and Dennis. We really enjoyed our stay here, it was a great place to explore all the Coromandel Peninsular. We wished we had more time here, but with the two nights we made sure we travelled around and made the most of the attractions from this wonderful Bed and Breakfast base. The mussell kitchen had mouth watering... More

Our long weekend stay with the charismatic Pauline and Dennis was absolutely stunning!!! Just loved the cottage accommodation with its views and all day sun, and we even had the fire lit for us one chilly night on our return from a days exploring the peninsular. Wonderful breakfast served and so happy to cater to one of us who is... More

Pauline's warm welcome and a terrific cooked breakfast made this a great place to start our ride of the Hauraki Rail Trail. We drove to Waikino to start the ride but next time we will get Pauline to drop us at the start and leave the car in Thames.

Lovely accommodation with a superb view out over the Firth of Thames from a hill-top position. Pauline was a most friendly and helpful hostess who went out of her way to ensure that we made the best of our time on the Coromandel peninsula. We remember her excellent breakfasts especially for the fruit salads and home-made yoghourts, and the enjoyable... More

We stayed here whilst touring the north island. This a very classy B&B with very warm and welcoming hosts. The accommodation is first class with the cottage that we occupied at the rear of the main building being very private. The location makes it an ideal place to circle the Coromandel. Even if you didn't want to go far, the... More

Stayed two night. Very convenient for the Coromandel peninsula. A warm welcome from the hosts. It has a commanding position with views out over the river / estuary. Bedroom is a reasonable size as is the bathroom but they are a little bare and slightly dark. Lounge is OK. However the deck is very good. Did not try the pool... More

Charter Manor was one of the few "places with a soul" we stayed at during our 3 months trip around Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and Hawai'i. The property is ideally located for spectacular hikes and Pauline will explain in much detail all you need to know about the tracks, since she is an expert in this area. Pauline and Dennis... More

Took the kids away with us this time. Pauline and Denise were again very welcoming and friendly. The kids loved the pool. Dave just loves the view from the house, watching the sun dipping into the sea with a glass of beer in hand. Lots to do in Thames - Saturday markets, gold panning. train rides, swimming, fishing and rail... More
