The tennis courts and cricket pitch are in the park which is right across the road.

Fabulous holiday by the beach

I wish our holiday was longer. Perfect weather, perfect location and a camping ground feel but with our fury family member in tow. Easy communication with Jess and walking distance to the beach and town. We would definitely stay again.

A break away

Glamping is the best description. Lovely clean rooms. Hot shower. Cute kitchen with everything you need. The large deck was super handy with the rain we got. Loved the area for walking n biking but too cold in October for us to swim.

Pauanui Glamping

Best ever kiwi holiday! The kids had a very enjoyable time. Was great having 2 caravans, my 16 yr old son & his friend had 1 caravan to themselves they took their scooters, come & go as they pleased while my younger 2 girls slept in the big caravan with us. We had our room & they shared the front of the caravan. Loved the high table for drinks before dinner & had a large picnic table to sit at for dinner. We had lovely weather the whole weekend but if it had rain their was a cover over the out door couch & table. Great spot. Highly recommend & would love to stay again. Thank you Jessica for sharing your holiday place with us. Carol & Gavin

Perfect Camping

Great camping set up, we normally tent glamp, and this suited us completely. Everything was very clean, and cutely presented, and Jess very easy to deal with. Thanks for the gazebo tip - if 30 degree-ish temps are forecast, make sure you take extra shade! Take your bikes (we didn't have ours), as that appears to be the Pauanui way, and they would've been handy :)
