We absolutely loved our time in Pauanui! You will be hard pressed to find better hosts than Karen and Sandy - they were so incredibly lovely and made us feel at home straight away. The room itself was beautiful - fresh, clean, lovely decor and thoughtful wee treats scattered around the room. It was the perfect spot to relax (even if our baby didn’t get the sleep in memo :p ). The location was perfect aswell - just a 1 minute stroll to the most beautiful calm swimming beach, and then a 2 min drive to the local shops. We loved our time here and feel so lucky that we got to meet Karen and Sandy!
