Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Over priced for what it is. Pauanui is also not a great location as everything closes at 7pm (!!!), we were disappointed in both the Puka Park (locals strongly suggested we NOT eat at the in-house restaurant, even though there is virtually nowhere else to eat dinner in Pauanui!!), and in Pauanui itself which is still a soulless outpost of Auckland where it seems you are required to 'show-off' your new house/car/boat/jet-ski/mistress to a bunch of similar-minded Aucklanders who have all forgotten that beach holidays are meant to be laid-back casual, relaxed and unpretentious ,and preferably undertaken in an old run-down beach house with character soul and ambience. if you want a beach escape on the Coromandel AVOID Pauanui!

We liked the tastefully furnished chalet which was situated in a private and tranquil bush setting. We enjoyed our dinner at the hotel restaurant which offered a good range of choices on their menu. The parking is some distance from the chalets but the free golf cart service provided was excellent.

Villas with balconies amongst the ferns & bush made this one of the loveliest settings we've stayed in.
