Looking forward to next time!

What a great location (short walk to the beach) and beautiful accomodation! The house was spacious and the outdoor deck was the perfect spot for family lunch in the sunshine after an ocean swim! The owners were welcoming and efficient in communication. Look forward to coming back!

Truly wonderful stay. So good we want to come back next year and do it all over again. Thanks to Gretchen being a great host. We loved the facilities - I especially appreciated the aircon in the master bedroom. Also having to outside deck spaces was wonderful - relax one side and eat on the other. The outdoor showers also great after time spent at the beach… a short stroll away. Soooo good!
Perfect for Christmas … lovely platters, plates, wine glasses 🫶🏻

Wonderful weekend in Pauanui

Our family had a lovely weekend at this delightful property in Pauanui. Beautifully clean and tidy, with all the extras that you don't expect but are lovely to find. Terrific location. Can't fault the place, and owner is a delight to communicate with. Would love to go back sometime soon.

Gorgeous Home, Perfect location

We travel extensively overseas and locally and can highly recommend this home. It was very clean and tidy, I loved the décor used, very beachy and I especially loved the little touches of using the eco products, having shampoo and conditioner available was a plus as Id forgotten mine. Easily suited our group of 9 staying. Everything was catered for. Would definitely rent again. Thanks so much Gretchen.

Fantastic house and set up!

We had a long weekend with 2 families at the house and it was perfect! The location is so close to the beach, the house is very well appointed and has a really lovely feel to it too. It was also very toddler proof which was a welcome surprise. really good for kids. Thanks Gretchen we'll be back!

Great family retreat

Great house for a visit to Pauanui, we had two families with 5 children and the house was ideal. The living space is very good with large top floor decks to catch the morning and evening sun. Its 200m from beach on a quiet road. Don't hesitate, this one is as good as the pictures!
