Sensational Sun Trap on Estuary Frontage - Pauanui

Comfortable 3 bedroom lockwood home in great condition with all the home comforts

100m to the beach & boat ramp, together with safe estuary swimming and water sports (i.e. swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, boating, water-skiing & fishing). Very central location, with a drive less than 2 hours from Auckland, Rotorua or Hamilton. Well located for exploring the Coromandel, Cathedral Cove, Hahei, Hot Water Beach and Whangamata. Hike the Coromandel Ranges or catch a ferry to Tairua. Pauanui has a myriad of safe walkways, as well as off-road cycling/walking and exploring. Cafes, supermarket, liquor store, bakery, petrol station + others, together with public tennis courts, as well as putt-putt and a skate park for the kids.

Recent upgrades: 2 luxury king beds in bedrooms 1 and 2. Third bedroom has 2 single beds (trundler bed)

Beautiful House with a great view!

We had a wonderful time in Coromandel. The house was very cozy and had everything you need. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The highlight was of course the terrace overlooking the water. A perfect start to the day to have breakfast on the terrace. The location is also good. You can make day trips to various beaches. Our host Malcolm was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions. I can highly recommend the accommodation.

Very comfortable house in a great location

We loved our stay at the property. The house has everything you need and was very clean and tidy. Peaceful neighborhood at least at this time of the year. Plenty of room for the kids to play in the park next to the house. Tuis visiting the trees of the property everyday was definitely a plus!! Highly recommended!

Beach Bliss: A Perfectly Stocked Retreat

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible beach house, and we couldn't be more impressed. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a sense of warmth and comfort. The house is meticulously maintained and stocked with every amenity imaginable, from a baby's changing mat to decaf coffee. One of the standout features of this property is the attention to detail. Not only is everything impeccably clean and organized, but there are also detailed instructions provided for every appliance and gadget in the house. It's clear that the owners have put a lot of thought and care into making sure their guests have everything they need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The location is also unbeatable. Just a short four-minute drive to the town center, you have easy access to restaurants, shops, and various attractions. Yet, despite its proximity to town, the beach house feels like a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. Whether you're traveling with family, friends, or just looking for a solo getaway, this beach house has something for everyone. I can't recommend it highly enough and can't wait to return for another stay.

Good communication, great location, well appointed.

Great spot and would be awesome in summer. Unfortunately for us both heating sources (AC and Heater) were faulty. Being a winter booking we specifically chose a place with a heat pump but upon arrival found it was faulty, and the backup heater failed also, therefore we were very uncomfortable so cut our stay short and went home. Not a great birthday for the Mrs.

As advertised. How-ever there was /is a building site just over the road so we were woken by hammering most mornings. No mention of this prior to arriving and it was not a new building site. Cant believe the owner didn't know. Also, the BBQ was so black and thick with grease we didn't use it.
