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.

This is the ideal space to come to if you want to get right into appreciating the beauty of nature. Surrounding yourself in the bush and the views of the pinnacles are a treat! But not only that, it's warm clean and cozy, all you need to have a most comfy stay. Jono is very friendly and welcoming, available to meet all your needs, yet not over the top.

Perfect escape for a romantic long weekend!
This incredibly well kept cabin was the perfect getaway for my girlfriend and I. The cozy space was warm and ideal for cuddling up and enjoying the peacefulness of the area. We spent a few nights just looking up at the stars and then in the morning we were even allowed to go grab a couple delicious mandarins from their impressive garden! Jono and Kathy were fantastic hosts, ensuring our every need was met and making our stay truly exceptional. We highly recommend this charming cabin for anyone seeking a romantic retreat! We're looking forward to coming back in the summer!

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.

My girlfriend and I had an amazing time at a beautiful batch in Hikuai, New Zealand! The place was super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. Check-in was a breeze, the online listing was spot-on, and the property manager was super friendly and helpful. The location was stunning with mountains, greenery, and waterfalls to explore. We left feeling super relaxed and rejuvenated. We highly recommend this batch to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Thanks to the owners for an awesome experience! Can't wait to go back!
