Paku Escape - Tairua Bach
The perfect getaway for couples who like to enjoy some privacy in quiet surroundings but still close to all activities.
Paku Escape is a modern one bedroom bach with spectacular views out towards Pauanui and Tairua, the Pacific Ocean and the tranquil Tairua harbour.
With its spacious open-plan living area and kitchen corner that leads out onto a sunny deck, a roomy double bedroom upstairs, it has all the essentials you need for a fantastic Holiday. The pull out sofa makes a double bed with a futon mattress for a third person or another couple if required.
Nestled against the side of Paku, this property is quiet and secluded, yet so close to all Tairua has to offer. It's just a 5 minute walk to the beach and nearby restaurants or a 15 minute walk to the shops. Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove are only a 20 minute drive away.
This is the perfect spot for the well deserved getaway. Go fishing, diving, kajaking, swim in the safe harbor or surf the waves at Tairua beach. Walk up Paku, Mt. Pauanui or climb the Pinnacles. Alternatively simply enjoy the spectacular views, the colorful sunsets, the sound of the birds and the whoosh of the waves. Put up your hammock under the trees and relax.
Paku Escape is perfect for couples looking for privacy. However, it is not suitable for small children or guests with mobility issues as there is no handrail on the stairs up to the bedroom and there is no railing on the deck. Please note this property is not suitable for small children under 6 or guests with mobility issues as there is no handrail on the stairs up to the bedroom and there is no railing on the deck.
All guests should take care when using the stairs as they do not have a barrier to prevent falls.
Please note that the driveway is very steep, so extra care is needed when accessing the property.
Please note there are no curtains on the main bedroom window. There is full privacy and great views.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

Overall the property was clean and comfortable
Overall the property was clean and comfortable. We loved the space upstairs and the large bay window with mattresses. Our 4yr old daughter found the pullout bed downstairs quite comfortable. Great location but quite busy between Xmas and New Years, as we’d expected. Beautiful places to explore nearby.

Very nice and romantic couples retreat.
Very nice and romantic couples retreat. As noted on the website previously- access and parking difficult. Electrical circuits in bathroom and kitchen could do with upgrade/improvement - but overall would definitely consider staying there again.

We had a great time in Tairua, with a big part of the experience being our stay at Paku Escape.

The location is quiet, private, a short drive from central Tairua and has amazing views, especially as the sun sets!!
The property is comfortable, well equipped and affordable.
We look forward to our next stay!

Great location but Bach is dirty.
Great location but Bach is dirty. Shower sink toilet a bit yuck and kitchen cooking facilities poor. Bed uncomfortable no reading lamp or bed side table, covers falling off window seat bbq unusable as right side so rusted, no gas in bbq though our Bach care person got some for us and a sink plug. Place needs better furniture as couch bed no good to sit or lie on.

The property was well located, reasonably close to town and with a wonderful view. We had some minor issues with the microwave timer and power surges flicking the fuses - but both of those are perfectly normal in a bach - and otherwise it was very well equipped!
