  • Susannah's Farm Cottage set against a hillside with trees, at sunset with a colorful sky. The front yard has a grassy lawn, a gravel driveway, and a parked car.

    The History

    An elderly cottage dating back to pre-1900 was relocated from further down Wharf Road to our property in the 1930’s. It was formerly the home of the Jeffcoat Family Matriarch, Susannah Jeffcoat (Nannah) and is where she spent her later years before passing in the late 1950’s. Over time it fell into disrepair but now it sits, beautifully restored looking forward to its next journey in life, as a quality lodging for our lovely guests.

  • View from Susannah's porch showing white railing, green lawn, trees, power poles, power lines, rolling hills, blue sky with a few clouds, and a palm tree.

    The Location

    The fully self-contained cottage is located on a very quiet country road just over one kilometre from Colville Town and 26 kilometres from Coromandel Town. It proudly sits in a sheltered, sunny spot on the northern corner of our 20 acre farm. It comes complete with rural views and distant seaviews across the tidal Colville Bay. The front deck makes a welcoming spot to sit and enjoy your morning coffee as the sun rises across the Coromandel Ranges.

  • A bedroom with a bed, curtains, lamps, and a window showing a green landscape outside.

    The Contents

    With three separate bedrooms, Susannah’s is suitable as either a lovely retreat for couples or for a group of friends keen to explore the outdoors. Bedding configuration suits up to six guests with either 2x singles per room or 3x couples per room. The cottage is further complimented with open plan kitchen/dining that flows beautifully into a private backyard area complete with a Weber BBQ. The cosy lounge is heated with a brand new woodburner and the cottage is finished off with a bath, shower and two toilets.

Rural Vibes and Views

Just out the window is the original Jeffcoat block of land purchased in 1865 not long after the family emigrated from London for a “better life”. Now owned six generations later by Gavin and Leanne Jeffcoat, the farming trend continues with up to 20 beefies and a dozen sheep grazed throughout the year. Over the past seven years a re-fencing and stream planting programme has been commenced with some very rewarding results.

NB: Given Susannah’s is located in a rural area and does not have any insect screens, the odd bug can make its way into the cottage. This can be made worse if lights are left on at night with the windows open. If you have an adversity to their presence, then staying at Susannah’s may not be a suitable option for you.

Coastal Sensations

Just across the way is Colville Bay with the views constantly changing as it transitions from low tide to high tide and back again throughout the day. Watch the shorebirds as they feed across the mudflats before relaxing on the foreshore over high tide. Dotterils, stilts, herons, godwits and oyster catchers proudly call this their home. Beach access is barely five minutes walk from Susannah’s.
