“Coastwood Homes were fantastic to deal with. Ours was probably not the most straight forward of homes but nothing was ever a problem – communication was top notch & we ended up with a home better than we could have imagined. We recommend Lockwood Homes & Coastwood Homes to anyone wanting to build. We’d do it all again in a heartbeat”

Dear Mr La Grouw, We would like to express our sincere thanks for the lovely gift of two luxury Dressing gowns that you sent us on the completion of the re-siting of our new Lockwood Show Home previously sited at Kopu, Thames. They were (and are) the icing on the cake following on from our home purchase. We also owe our thanks to Coastwood Homes who are a very professional, friendly and helpful team (but especially Katie McDonald) who bent over backwards to meet our requests and delivered the house in the agreed time to Matarangi on the Coromandel. We love our new holiday home and the process was made incredibly smooth and easy (at least for us) by the great team at Coastwood Homes, Thames.”
