This house has a spectacular setting and vantage point on Mount Paku above Tairua Beach. We loved that we could watch both the sunrise and the sunset from the deck. It's extremely private and comfortable. We were excited to find that there was a neighborhood walkway down to the beach (10 min walk, well-maintained path, lots of sturdy stairs because it takes you down the steep hillside). This same walkway system gets you up to the summit of Mount Paku, as well, with a panoramic view not to be missed. This was our first visit to New Zealand, and we are so glad that we stayed in Tairua, and this bach was an amazing find. Tairua is a relaxed little beach town, the perfect home base for our day trips around The Coromandel, Rotorua, and the Waikato District. We definitely recommend it! (family of four, kids are 9 and 14)
