As the locals joke: “Lemon & Paeroa is world famous in New Zealand”, but they’ve got more to brag about than inventing this soft drink.

Everyone who rocks up in Paeroa is greeted by a 7m-high bottle of L&P, a fizzy drink made from the local spring water. Paeroa is also the “Antiques Capital of New Zealand” and is famous for being the gateway to the Hauraki Rail Trail and the Karangahake Gorge Walkway. Plus, it’s the jumping-off point for the Coromandel Peninsula. Insider’s tip: This usually quiet town roars to life during the annual Battle of the Streets and the Highland Games.

Room was clean but no hot water to clean dishes. There was a strom not shelter when you want to got out to the toilet in the middle of the night . So you come back to bed wet. Shower block was dirty and some ones hair ball every were. Nice place to stay but they need to do a bit more cleaning .

Restful, rustic and with many cute artistic touches. Loved the private outdoor bath. Close to the gorge with great swimming on a very hot summer weekend. Wonderful walking or cycling opportunities.
