Devcich Historic Farmstead - Cottage | Cottage in Thames
1 Bedroom Cottage in Coromandel Forest Park, Thames
100 years ago, in a remote part of the Kauaeranga Valley, Simun Devcich, created a farmstead. He traded with the gum diggers who lived in bush camps in the upper valley. The original buildings and chattels still remain. The Farmstead is recognised as a NZ treasured historical site, Cat. 1 for its significant historic and cultural value.
We invite you to stay at the Devcich Farmstead, and experience the magic. This is not just a place to lay your head, but an adventure. Relax and enjoy the breath taking scenery, the animals, the river, bush and mountain ranges. Handy to the Pinnacles walk and Canyonz.
The cottage was originally a singleman's quarters and has been recently refurbished, very pleasant and cosy. One bedroom, bathroom, lounge with a futon, kitchenette, microwave, small fridge and a BBQ, which is on a covered verandah . Mobile reception for Spark and Vodafone.
