Jennifer's place in Pauanui was the perfect spot for us to holiday with two other families for a few days of summer fun. There was plenty of space for us all and the property backs onto a big field with some exercise equipment that frankly doubles as a playground and you can see from the deck -perfect for post dinner drinks while the kids use up the last of their energy!
There were some toys and games that were handy to have, and the outdoor shower was great; it made keeping the house relatively sand free a lot easier! Having three toilets was great too - never a queue!
The beach is a very short stroll away, though with little children (6 and under) we spent more time at the estuary beach, as it was wave and wind free. We loved Pauanui, and if we return we will definitely check to see if Jennifers house is available again!
