Small, but everything you need in a batch and you simply cannot beat the location. We had two kids under 3 with us and we weren't left wanting throughout our entire trip. Amazing location - 2 second from the beach and a 10m walk to the shops.
I've been to Pauanui almost every year for 30 years and this was a great place to stay - I definitely would book again.
Neat shed out the back for all your beach gear too!
