Grafton Cottage & Chalets

Perched high in the hills above Thames, minutes from the town centre and an ideal base for exploring the Coromandel Peninsula. You’re a short drive from the Hauraki Rail Trail and Thames Historical Museum, and just over an hour from Auckland. Boutique cottage and cedar chalet lodging that’s pet-friendly and family-friendly.

Six individually designed studio, one- and two-bedroom cedar chalets with en suite bathrooms and private decks or patios. Rooms feature kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves, tea/coffee makers, flat-screen TVs and DVD players; two chalets are fully self-contained. On-site staff, daily housekeeping and peaceful, tree-lined sea views keep the vibe relaxed and a little luxe.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool that looks out toward the sea, or unwind in the spa tub and spa centre. There’s a library, picnic and BBQ area, tour/ticket assistance and a complimentary shuttle to nearby shops. Guests enjoy free self parking, laundry and luggage storage — plus wake-up sea-breeze mornings and staff on hand to help plan your day.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property, luggage storage and laundry facilities. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available on request (surcharge) and free self parking is provided onsite.

Meet other guests at the daily reception, grab snacks from the on-site deli/snack bar, or enjoy meals at the cottage restaurant and bar. Continental breakfasts are served each morning in the Grafton Cottage style.
