Welcome to Bonnie Doon. Your private self contained flat sits beneath our family home and is accessed by a separate entrance.
You will find a quiet and peaceful retreat in a stunning bush-clad valley, nestled beside a gentle stream and surrounded by native birdsong. Just a short walk to the coast and breathtaking sunsets. An ideal base for fishing the Firth of Thames, birdwatching, hiking, or exploring the Coromandel Peninsula. Enjoy a spacious, self-contained basement flat with free ultra-fast fibre internet—perfect for relaxing or working remotely.
Please note that the second bedroom is shared with the living room, however movable screens are included for privacy.
Hi there, introducing your hosts Darryl and Sarah with our son Callum. You may also meet our two dogs Bonnie and Rita.
We will respect your privacy and leave you in peace, but happy to chat if you like. We live in the main house upstairs so there may be some typical noise and activity. There is usually one of us around so please let us know if there is anything you need or if you require any help or advice.
