About this property
Harbour Edge Bach for you
The bach is simple yet comfortable leading to a relaxing holiday. Heat pump/aircon, modern kitchen, gas heated hot water in the main bach-"The Palace" so unlimited showers. The second shower and toilet is in the utility outside-great for the sandy or fishy ones! Bikes are available to explore the area or just walk the many paths of Pauanui- these intertwine between the streets and lead to the many playgrounds and tennis courts, beach spots etc. At Pauanui you have the benefit of being able to swim in either the safe harbour or around at the more exciting ocean beach. Also do visit the Water Fall just out of the township. It is an easy 15 minute walk from the road amid native flora. You then get to have a great fresh water swim in the deep pool- try sitting under the water fall with the water massaging your shoulders.
We are only a 2 minute walk to the garage where you can pick up your morning herald and essentials. Just past the garage is Pauanui Club with a bistro plus a cafe in the golf store area Also the laundromat is by the club. There is a small Fresh Choice supermarket , bakery, bar, cafe and restaurant a 5 minute walk away in the shopping centre. At the Information Centre which is opposite the shopping centre you can find details of any planned activities, get maps, purchase gifts and the staff are super helpful.
Special conditions: Toddlers definitely welcome, but please we ask that parents be fully responsible due to closeness to the water. You can block the entrance to the reserve with a temporary trellis which is supplied, but the front of my property is not fenced off from the road.

Tradesmen- please make an inquiry indicating your accommodation requirements l will reply with my trades offer and conditions.

We had the best time. Properly is lovely and located in a very nice spot with the great views. Robyn made whole experience really enjoyable. Clean with everything we needed and the fact it was pet friendly made us very happy!
Lovely wee cottage beautifully appointed a lot of attention to detail.Delightful views to the Waterways, wonderful Bird Watching the Waders at Low tides.The South East Beach of Pauanui is simply stunning.
Wonderful views of the estuary, well equipped with everything you could need. Great location and lovely relaxing kiwi bach feel. Thoroughly enjoyed my time at this lovely bach by the sea.
A very pleasant stay in Robyn’s Bach which had a retro feel and was very clean. It is located close to most amenities. The surrounding scenery was stunning. We found Robyn to be a considerate and helpful host.
Everything as described. Us personally could have done with WiFi at times but the shops were very close to walk to and wifi available at the info centre
Very well equipped and centrally located, it was a delightful place for a restful get away. Our foxie had a great holiday too! Would definitely recommend!

Response from VrboOwner on 4 December 2025
As the lawns burn off so quickly in summer on the sand base, after fertilising recently we have tried letting them thicken and grow a bit before mowing. I should have let you know prior to your stay.
We loved our pet friendly stay. Robyn is a friendly host. The garden opens onto the reserve, so we loved our dog walks and enjoyed the scenic views. The bach is cosy and comfortable and we felt right at home. A special family stay.
Enjoyed our stay for my birthday weekend. Walking distance to the water and a 2 minute drive to the beach or cafe. House was cozy and had everything required with plenty of utensils. The house was impeccably presented, well organised and clean. Plenty of parking on the property. Easy communication with Robyn.
Had a wonderful time at this property on the edge of the water. Clean and peaceful. Ideally located, close to beaches, shops and Eateries.would definitely come here again.
the location was perfect . loved the views the batch was comfortable & cleanRobyn is a very good communicator and a very considerate host She allowed us to check in early and check out at our convenience .will love to stay again
Small and perfectly formed. Warm, comfy bed, clean and tidy. We wanted for nothing, except a little more sun! Even in the rain this place, with its harbour views, is magic.
Lovely stay. We would highly recommend. Great location, so close to the estuary. We loved the ‘Bach feel’ and especially loved that it was pet friendly and our dog could join us on our family holiday.

About the host
Hosted by Robyn H
I grew up not too far from Pauanui and have always enjoyed what the Coromandel Peninsula has to offer- from the top to the bottom and on both coast lines. I recall all the great times we had at our beach holidays at Te Puru on the Firth of Thames. It is now great to have this beautiful spot for my family and friends to return to.
Why they chose this property
I came over for a Sunday drive one weekend when these sections were first on the market. Went home and decided I could do it and bought just the empty section way back in the 1980's. What a great decision!! I love Pauanui as it is so relaxing, not too much town and the choice of the harbour beach or ocean beach.
What makes this property unique
Excellent central location on a harbour edge reserve. Water views and amazing sunsets too. Large section- plenty of room for boats, cars, play. I prefer to keep the costs down with the objective of enabling others to explore the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula. Hence I do not charge a mandatory cleaning fee, but offer self clean or chosen additional paid cleaner options.
