The property is located within a natural bush setting on Mount Pauanui and offers a 180degree view over Pauanui, the Pacific ocean and Tairua and the Coromandel Ranges. Our location is only a few minutes walk to the beach. Also dedicated coastal walks and cycle/walking treks are minutes away. Our place is in a unique setting and offers arguably the best views in Pauanui. Safe and secure parking for one RV vehicle up to 6 meters in length in the parking area of the premises.
We are a German/NZ born couple and are looking forward to welcoming you to our little piece of paradise. We would be happy to share time with you while you are taking in our stunning sea and bush views during your stay.
The property is just a 3 minute walk to the renowned international Lodge - Puka Park Lodge, offering fine local cuisine. A 15 minute walk or 5 drive to our small village with cafes, gift shop, food market, bakery and restaurants. Pauanui offers a 6km walking or cycling trail. Safe walking and biking on flat roads in Pauanui. Walk to one of the beautiful beaches on the Coromandel Peninsula. Visit the East coast to Hotwater Beach just about 30 minutes away or Cathedral Cove.
