Beautiful place with great spaces and an amazing view! Easy to check-in, loved accessibility to walking around Pauanui, loved the kayak, loved the chairs and deck looking over the bay! Just a wonderful property!
Jill is a lovely host very generous, with a bottle of wine waiting on pur arrival. Very comfortable home, with breathtaking view of the pauanui estuary.

Thank you, Carie for looking after the house so well. You are welcome back anytime.
We loved staying here, well appointed home, felt comfortable and luxurious at the same time. The front deck opens up to a lovely lawn area and straight into the water. The kids were swimming and fishing at the jetty which was walking distance. No wifi and no TV as a result, but this didn’t faze us at all and it was a great family time. Use bug repellent if out at night as there are some mozzies and sandflies. Jill was great with comms and we had everything we needed.
We had a great 8 nights at this property and were blessed with warm and sunny weather for the majority of our stay.
It was the ideal location for our family, and the house was large enough to spread out. The area we enjoyed the most was the open living areas and the floor to ceilings windows that opened onto a large balcony overlooking the estuary across to Tairua. My husband and I enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the evenings having a quiet drink and admiring the expansive views that were every changing. The sunsets were lovely.
The beds were comfortable which was another positive for the property.
The owner, was very attentive with all her communications.
We enjoyed our break away out of peak time and would love to return one day.

Thank you so much for caring for our house and leaving it so clean and tidy. Love to have you back anytime.
Wir haben einen sehr schönen und entspannten Urlaub hier genossen. Tolles Haus, alles da, sehr gute Komminikation mit Vermieterin, wunderschöner Beach...würden sehr gerne wieder herkommen.
A very spacious beach house which is wonderfully comfortable and well maintained. It has a beautiful outlook across the water. The hosts are very helpful and inviting.
The house was a perfect fit for our needs. Kids were upset (at first) by the lack of wi-fi . . . adults were not-so-secretly pleased to be able to 'disconnect' for a few days so that we could truly connect with friends/family! We enjoyed cocktails and dinners on the deck with the beautiful view, and hosted a fierce Kubb tournament on the lawn, as well as an Easter egg hunt for the kids. The house was clean, comfortable and well-equipped, and the owner provided helpful instructions before our arrival. All in all, a lovely weekend!
A lovely well appointed modern house in a great location with wonderful views and tranquility.
Jill is the consummate host: efficient, friendly, and a great communicator - a pleasure to deal with.
We had such a lovely stay, the house is in the most serene spot overlooking the water and had all the comforts of home. Jill was lovely to deal with and communication was very easy. Highly recommend this property.
Very nice location, quiet, close to everything you need for a holiday.
