2nd time staying here & we love it! Great for our family with 2 young kids. Excellent location, well equipped little kitchen & 2
Caravans give you plenty of space to spread out. Will def stay again!
Awesome little bach property at the beach, kids loved the caravan and was great we could include the dog. Great communication from Jess who also gave us some tips for around town. Location is perfect. All in all loved it and hope we can come back soon.
I wish our holiday was longer. Perfect weather, perfect location and a camping ground feel but with our fury family member in tow. Easy communication with Jess and walking distance to the beach and town. We would definitely stay again.
Great location. Ideal property with older kids, enough space for ping pong and badmenton.
I didnt get the wi fi instructions or where the ketly was, but the host was quick to respond and we lived without wi fi for a few days
Glamping is the best description. Lovely clean rooms. Hot shower. Cute kitchen with everything you need. The large deck was super handy with the rain we got. Loved the area for walking n biking but too cold in October for us to swim.

Thank you for your review Michelle. We love the bike and walking tracks to. We hope our new weather proof blinds and heater for the deck will make the deck more useable on rainy days.
Best ever kiwi holiday! The kids had a very enjoyable time. Was great having 2 caravans, my 16 yr old son & his friend had 1 caravan to themselves they took their scooters, come & go as they pleased while my younger 2 girls slept in the big caravan with us. We had our room & they shared the front of the caravan. Loved the high table for drinks before dinner & had a large picnic table to sit at for dinner. We had lovely weather the whole weekend but if it had rain their was a cover over the out door couch & table. Great spot. Highly recommend & would love to stay again. Thank you Jessica for sharing your holiday place with us.

Thank you so much for your lovely review guys
We are very happy to have shared with you
Great camping set up, we normally tent glamp, and this suited us completely. Everything was very clean, and cutely presented, and Jess very easy to deal with. Thanks for the gazebo tip - if 30 degree-ish temps are forecast, make sure you take extra shade!
Take your bikes (we didn't have ours), as that appears to be the Pauanui way, and they would've been handy :)

Great tips Nikki
Bikes are a great thing to have in pauanui as the streets are flat and there’s a really wonderful trail ride easily reached from our place ... tangatatoria trail
January has turned up the heat! Shade gazebo or shade tent is definitely a welcome addition when it’s this hot. Generally the decks are suitable.
We love to escape the city and get out and about in pauanui which has so many cool things to experience in such a small area .. it’s effortless fun

Outdoor camping vibe but without the hassle of the pack up and pack down! Flexible hosting with Room for additional guests kids and pets.
