We have had a wonderful relaxing time as the place is very private and quiet, apart from the beautiful bird songs. We experienced epic sunrises and we very much enjoyed and soaked up the incredible harbour views and the feeling like we were sounded by native bush. The perfect spot for us as we both love NZs native bush and the water. The full kitchen was great. So it checked off several boxes for us. I got a surf in as well, as both Tairua and Pauanui offer beach surf breaks. Friendly locals. Sandra was amazing as her communication was outstanding.

Absolutely loved our stay in The Tairua Tree House. Went away for 3 nights over Anzac weekend and had a very relaxing weekend, winding down from the stresses of work and spending much of the time just sat in the armchairs staring out at the amazing view.Took my rowing machine for early morning exercise on the deck and was treated to a private flypast on Anzac Day morning as 3 planes circled in formation and landed in Pauanui
