Pataua was a beautiful spot for my wife and I to spend a long weekend getaway. The accommodation was very good, though if privacy is your greatest attraction, you should be aware the cabin is very close to the main house, with the ablutions effectively attached to the house, and you will see the lovely hosts every day.
Even in May we enjoyed ocean swimming, night fishing, a fantastic trip to Parua Bay Tavern and an otherwise wonderfully relaxing time.
