Escape to the mountains at Sleeping Giant B&B, Pauanui/Tairua area.

Surrounded by native bush and beautiful gardens, with views to the fabulous Coromandel Pinnacles, Sleeping Giant B&B is a quiet, private, self contained unit separate from the main house. The property is just a short drive from Pauanui and Tairua beaches. The unit comes with a comfortable King size bed, shower, toilet, Wifi and TV.
There are tea and coffee making facilities, fridge and microwave. (No kitchen sorry) but a continental breakfast with tea, coffee and milk is provided to start your day.
Enjoy the peace and quiet, wander through the bush, or use us as your base while you explore our amazing coast. We are only 12 minutes from Pauanui and Tairua, 25 minutes to Whangamata, and forty minutes to Hahei and Hot Water Beach.
For the keen trampers we are just a few minutes from the historic Broken Hills trails in the Puketui Valley, where you can explore old tunnels and abandoned mine relics. And in the warmer weather we have the beautiful Tairua River at the bottom of the driveway with amazing swimming holes.

PLEASE NOTE!
Due to Summer peak demand a minimum booking of 2 nights is required between December 16th to February 28th thanks.

Quiet oasis
This is a lovely B&B tucked in the mountains and surrounded by lush gardens. This space was perfect for a 2-night stay to kick off our trip to New Zealand! Kathy and Jono were lovely hosts who were easily contactable and provided us with everything we needed.

Room with an amazing view.
Great little place perfect for a weekend getaway. The room itself is small but has everything you need including large bed, toilet, shower. What it lacks in size is more than made up by the amazing garden and views on offer. Be more than happy just to stay and enjoy the surroundings. The place is a real credit Kathy and Jonno who are the perfect hosts. Would definitely recommend.
