As a birthday treat for my boyfriend, we decided on a weekend trip to Coromandel. So instead of another generic motel, I was looking for something a bit different but equally charming. This place delivered! I booked a cabin which is set up on a hill with beautiful views of coromandel town. It was small inside but the doors open... More

We stayed for one night whilst on business. It would be nice to return again for a short holiday. We stayed above the main house in a spacious studio with two bedrooms, lounge and bathroom. Lovely character house with stained glass and old restored rimu (or kauri) doors. Quiet, private and nice bush views. We had plenty in common with... More

I returned with my partners family a year later to the Celadon because we enjoyed it so much the first time, and we were not disappointed. I am sad to see the one negative review on this site, but I think that whomever it was may well have had incompatible expectations. The Celadon is not an impersonal 'contemporary polished granite...

We have stayed at Celadon twice, we made a special effort to return. We stayed first in the little cabin with an amazing view and then in the Studio this year. We enjoyed both. It is excellent value and Ray is a wonderful host and a mine of information about Coromandel, generously giving us tips on all the best spots... More

We stayed one night at the Celadon in March, in the studio - arrived with no electricity - there was a power cut affecting the whole area from about 4 to 9 pm. Ray (the owner) was friendly and helpful. We were lucky and managed to find one of only 2 restaurants in town with a generator and had an... More

We spent 1 night at the Cabin at the Celadon Motel. It was absolutely terrible. Very basic amenities. The hand basin in the bathroom was so narrow that it was a joke. For safety we decided to unplug the electric blanket rather than rely on what appeared to be over-loaded sockets. The old fashioned whistling kettle took an eternity to... More

Firstly,owner Ray is quite a raconeur and cannot do enough for you. We had booked the studio for three nights. Brilliant,just what we wanted. It was large,spacious and private with verandah and decking. To describe the property as a motel gives a somewhat misleading impression. Hidden on the hillside overlooking Coromandel Town it is an absolute rural escape . It... More

Our one night stay here turned out to be the best of the entire trip around the Coromandel. We were truly delighted by the charm and character of the place.. so much better than your bog standard hotel! Sitting out on our deck amongst the bush in peace and privacy was just so incredibly relaxing and a great get-away.. I... More

My girlfriend and I visited NZ for the first time in October and did a 7 night tour of the North Island. For two of those nights we stayed in Coromandel in the Celadon Motel. The motel was very well kept and had a great atmosphere! Each room was equipped with a mini fridge, plates, silverware, etc which made it... More
