Breathtaking stay! Pauanui Farm is a real gem! We loved our stay there and enjoyed really every second in this peaceful environment. Honestly you don't even want to leave for day trips and just want to soak in the great atmosphere and views. It's a great base to explore the Coromandel Peninsula by car. The "cottage" is behind the farm house but very secluded and you have your total privacy. It is really huge with lots of great windows (looks like bauhaus style) and that's why you get an outside feeling even if you are in the house. It was fully equipped with everything you need, spotless clean and very cosy. Highlight is a huge table in front of your cottage where you can enjoy your breakfast, your lunch, the dinner or the wonderful stars at night. The owners Suse & Rod are a super sweet family. We had great chats with them and they were really helpful giving tips for beaches / walkways etc. You will get a very friendly "good morning" by Lilly, the farm dog. Many thanks Suse & Rod for these perfect days. We will surely recommend your hideaway to all our friends that may visit NZ! All the best Anja & Matthias
