Pauanui accommodation from NZ$215

A stay in one of our Pauanui hotels provides the ideal mix of beach, bush, activity and coastal charm to create an idyllic holiday for you or your family at the base of New Zealand’s Coromandel Peninsula. The three-kilometre stretch of white sand and clear blue water can offer great surfing, kite surfing and windsurfing, if the wind is blowing in the right direction, or a scenic place to relax with a good book regardless.

For something active to do while staying in a hotel in Pauanui, try a trek of Pauanui Mountain. Start at the southern end of the beach and follow the winding trail all the way up to the summit of the forested peak. Pauanui Mountain reaches a height of 400 metres above the sea, and while the track is steep in places the panoramic views of this spectacular location is well worth the effort of the climb.

For calmer waters during your stay in our Pauanui accommodation, head to the inland side of Pauanui, where the peaceful harbour and estuary offer hours of fun for kayakers. The harbour also offers a more sheltered swimming spot then the beach, as long as you keep an eye out for the boats that frequent the harbour.
