Welcoming hospitality, comfortable clean room, everything we needed for a short stay, beautifully kept gardens and the most glorious view.
Would love to return.

It was a weekend away with my wife for her bday. Our arrival was a little challenging at night to find the driveway. But once we did it was an amazing place with stunning views out over the huraki gulf. Such a place to be and enjoy the beautifully kept gardens and the morening view was stunnning.
Thanks for making a bday celebration worth remembering.

The view was lovely as was the setting other than that there is little to recommend this place. Access would be very difficult for many as the drive was phenominally steep and would make walking out impossible for most. The room was small as was the bathroom tucked away at the back of the bedroom, adequate for a one night stop but not a lengthy stay. Check in was not welcoming (at 5pm which was hardly late) infact it was most off putting as we had to ring the front door bell and wait a while to be be greeted with "Oh I'd forgotton you were coming. You are the ones who booked on line'
We were.neither informed of a breakfast nor dinner option at La Casa for our two night stay and when we enquired where we could eat we were told eating options were a 10 km drive away into Thames with no recommendations. We did actually find breakfast the next morning at a wonderful cafe 2km away. Waikamu Beach Cafe. This was our first time in the Coramandel peninsula and Im sure we will return but not to La Casa Im afraid.
