Reviewed Mar 2, 2025Beautiful grounds, worth a stroll. Challenging driveway. My check engine light came on so I am losing a day at the mechanic. It is very steep, your car will probably be fine, mine is very old. Twin room has one window which is at the entrance of another room so choose between privacy and natural light. Had issues with mosquitos, light switch near only one bed which doesn't have a nightstand. Overall beautiful property with a challenging room (twin), the other rooms seem better.

Reviewed Feb 18, 2025The 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.

Reviewed Feb 10, 2025The views and proximity to Thames
Everything on the features regarding breakfast or meals in the nice dining room with the lovely views is a lie. Hostess obviously lost interest while trying to sell the business. Clearly told by hostess kitchen is closed when asked on arrival - no breakfast or meals. Essentially ended paying just for a room with a double bed and toilet and shower. Our first night we had to listen to the hostess chatting outside our bedroom door with one of her guests while we were trying to go to sleep.
