Great apartment with full kitchen. Very nicely decorated and across from the beach. Highly recommend! And restaurants nearby were outstanding (Cabana and The Lical).

Pirate's Rest was the perfect location for a 2-day boys' trip for me and my 7 year old. Super close to the beach, friendly surroundings, and a really simple and easy layout to the tiny home. Would highly recommend.

You can take time to visit Pauanui Tairua Trail during your travels to Pauanui. Wander the beautiful beaches in this relaxing area.
Enjoy a round of golf in Pauanui at The Lakes Golf Course. While you're in the area, stroll along the beaches.

It feels very relaxing and laid back.
A quiet place in the off season, but it was just what we needed.
Quite a small place, off the beaten track, more designed for local holiday makers than tourists. If you want more hustle and bustle try Whangamata instead.
