Come relax in our spacious family bach with gorgeous sea views and 2 decks with ample space for BBQs, yoga and of course, suntanning! It's a leisurely 5 minutes walk from the beach and about a 10-15 minute walk to the shops.
Level 1 - as you walk in the front door has 2 rooms. 2 single beds in Room 1 and a king-sized bed in Room 2. On the second level you have the kitchen and lounge area. The third level has one room with a double bed and then the large rumpus room has three single beds but can easily accommodate an extra 3-4 people if you want to bring extra bedding. The fourth level has a laundry with a washing machine and dryer, a small office space and the garage. Guests are welcome to use the kayaks, surfboards and bikes that are located in the garage. Both bathrooms have showers and the upstairs toilet is separate from the bathroom.
You're in luck because we've just had a brand new kitchen installed! New appliances, more bench space, just a dream. Bonus is there's new BBQ too! We also had a little log burner installed to keep you cosy during the winter months!
Linen provided so long as you're happy giving it a wash before you head off.
Hopefully you will be too busy enjoying the beautiful NZ summer and beach to need any other entertainment but if you're wanting to plan a movie night, the lounge has a TV with an HDMI cord connection for laptops and also a Chromecast.
This is ideal accommodation for a family wanting to chill and ride the waves!

We really enjoyed our stay at this bach. The location and views are amazing. Loved being able to see the ocean, and it’s only a short stroll to get to the beach which our kids loved. Plenty of space, the house itself is a little bit run down but it didn’t matter at all. It had everything we needed for a great stay. We’d definitely stay here again.
We had a great time in Pauanui. The house was spacious, clean and comfortable. Our families were able to spread out and enjoy their own space as well as come together when we wanted to. The location was really good for us as it was just short walk to the beach. Our teenagers enjoyed having bikes to get around on. And we enjoyed cooking in a brand new kitchen. We would definitely recommend a stay in this home.
We had a wonderful short stay here. The house looks small from the road but is 3 levels and perfect for a large or extended family. Stunning views of the beach and over to Paku as well. Very friendly hosts, happy to help when I lost the linen cupboard… will definitely be heading back next summer.

About the host
Hosted by Bernadette Goulding
Originally from Auckland, we are a close-knit family with 6 kids plus ma and pa (one sister missing from our photo!). Pauanui has been our family's beach spot for generations now. With most of us scattered across the globe, Pauanui is always the place we look forward to returning to and reuniting with everyone.
Why they chose this property
Our grandparents built a bach here over 50 years ago. We would come here every summer before we moved down to Christchurch. Despite the move, Pauanui always draws you back and in memory of our beloved Poppa, we all chipped in and bought this gorgeous bach in 2016 as it's always been our home away from home.
What makes this property unique
- The views!!!! They are just stunning. Beautiful, morning at night. You'll see the sunrise on the ocean-side deck in the morning and get sunset on the front deck as it disappears behind the Pinnacles. - Nice and close to the beach. - Tucked away up the hill so it's nice and peaceful. - New kitchen!
