The location was great and easy to access the beach. Our weekend weather however was not helpful as it rained most of the time we were there. The home was tidy and provided all the required needs for us. Would gladly stay here again
Tairua Shores Motel enjoys a harbourside location close to the Tairua Wharf, and it takes 2 minutes to drive to the town center or a 10-minute beach walk overlooking Mt Paku and Tairua Harbour.

Beverly was a wonderful host - super friendly & helpful. The facilities were exactly as advertised & to a very high standard, with several different areas to relax. Beverly had thought of everything & added lovely little touches. The accommodation was less than 5 minutes walk from town & had a nice view of the water.

We loved the location, which was in the hills above Whangamata, but only a 20 minute walk to the town through beautiful countryside, or 5 minutes by car. The views from our room were stunning. Our room had a balcony with table and chairs so you could sit out and watch the sun go down or watch the sea and small boats. The room was large, clean, warm and comfortable. It was equipped with everything we needed. The small town is beautiful with lots of water based activities, good restaurants and cafes. The beach and harbour are stunning and you can walk at low tide over to another small Island.
A great beach holiday spot which has not been spoiled. It is clean, feels safe and the people were friendly and welcoming to visitors.

I’m a body boarder and I loved being so close to a great beach.
There is a nice cafe beside the takeaway shop. Good to have a Supervalue.
Meal at JKs one night. Lovely staff and delicious food.
Others had told us it was really posh and we could see that it has lots of expensive houses on the beachfront and over on the mountain in Tairua but also lots of less flashy houses and everyone we met was really friendly.
Would definitely visit again if we’re up that way.

Great for relaxation, mainly summertime. Had no options after hours for supplies tho ie supermarket, dairy, etc. There were a couple of restaurants to choose from. Cabana was very tasty, good service, and the staff were absolutely wonderful - offered us water and milk to take back to our accommodation as everywhere else was closed for the night. You could easily pushbike around and the beach was nice. We stayed one night and that was plenty for us.

The road is very winding which can be a bit of a struggle for those who experience travel sickness but the destination is worth it. Beautiful scenery, fantastic beach, small quaint shopping area where you can even buy swimming apparel if you have forgotten yours. Great if you are into swimming, hiking, biking or just relaxing!

The town is a beautiful little place that has everything you would need. It is peaceful and appears prosperous.
It is however very quiet and people looking for more adventure will be driving to get it. On the plus side, Pauanui is situated in a point on the Coromandel that makes it easy to get everywhere.

Such a clean environment. Quite yet so much fun to have.
Such a clean environment. Quite yet so much fun to have. You cant get lost. We spent all our time at The beach which is beautiful and our fav place to hang plus everyone we walked pass always said hello. Contemplating on buying property here within the next year as I like to call Pauanui a second home for us.
Very nice stay. I don’t think there was one thing the apartment didn’t have! Hosts were lovely and very helpful indeed. Very close to the beach for nice walk. There isn’t too much in town (if you don’t get your food by 8pm you’re not eating anything) but the apartment had a great BBQ so the best thing to do is bring your food and drink and cook it there. We did that and it was great. Would definitely go back again!
Women who met us and explained everything to us was friendly and informative. She helped to make our stay enjoyable.
Apartment was clean, with good facilities and very well located near the seafront especially for the start of the Pauanui half-marathon and 10k which started about 100m form the apartment. Good secure parking in the underground garage.
We absolutely loved our stay at Pauanui Pines, the facilities are wonderful and there is absolutely everything you need to have a great time away from buckets/spades for the beach, bikes, tennis, pool and plenty of pool toys, spa, the biggest DVD selection, plenty of outdoor toys and games for the kids and so much more. We can't wait to go back again!
Puka Heights has the most stunning location nestled in the hills above Pauanui and it’s beautiful beach. For us it was an ideal base from which to explore the Coromandel Peninsula and a tranquil and beautiful place to return at the end of the day. Angie and Warren are the warmest and most generous hosts. We enjoyed every minute of our stay.
We loved our stay at the Pauanui Pines! Carol was a lovely host, the pool is great and kept very clean. Overall a lovely motor lodge and accommodation. The trump card is the proximity to the shopping center and restaurants. It's only a stones throw away and the kids were able to scooter over and get supplies.
We had a great time at Ocean Beach resort. The location, just a short walk from Pauanui Beach was brilliant so early morning walks along the beach were very easy. The apartment was a good size, comfortable and tastefully decorated with all amenities provided.
Great location to Beach, parks and shopping centre. Apartment had everything we needed for our short stay. Will definitely be back in the summer to use the pool :)
