Heather had sorted out a most unusual place for us to stop on our night at Coromandel.



It was 'The Goldminer's Retreat'.














Three log cabins built in mining country and run by an amiable couple, Helen and Roso.




Here's our cabin, nestled in the bush but only a minutes walk from the road.








The kitchen - rather better than the stoves the miners would have used, I think. Breakfast was excellent and the eggs were fresh lad by the free range hens the owners had.




There was only one other couple in the log cabins, again a nice friendly couple, but, as customers of Cotswold Bookstore** will hardly find surprising, I cannot remember their names!

The group of residents we could all name were ...


Stick Insects







in various colours










End of another long day, a sit down hoping for an early Kiwi. Or at least a beer.
