Just a three-minute walk from the estuary rests this gorgeous three-bedroom holiday cottage, where you’re treated to a view over the Tairua River from your deck. Welcome to Harbour View Haven!
Furnished with your comfort in mind, this classic Kiwi beach bach is ready for you to make yourself at home. Open up the windows and doors to create seamless indoor-outdoor flow and to let the cool breeze blow through.
Get lost in a good book on the deck, enjoy a cool drink on the back patio, or if the weather isn’t quite right for a day outdoors, put on a DVD and snuggle up on the couch.
There’s plenty of space to park your boat here at Harbour View Haven. Drive the short distance to the boat ramp and head out for a day of fishing, then prep your catch for the BBQ at the fish cleaning station. Whip up a couple of sides in the fully equipped kitchen and dine alfresco on the deck under the shade of the umbrella.
Three bedrooms and two bathrooms accommodate up to eight guests here at Harbour View Haven. The master bedroom has a queen size bed and an ensuite, making it the ideal place for parents to retreat to for a bit of rest and relaxation.
Wake in the morning and enjoy a cuppa, staring out at the harbour views as you make a plan for the day. You could start by taking a short stroll to the estuary for a walk along the water, the kids will love the playground and skate park at the end of the road. Why not set up a challenge at the mini golf course, also just a short walk away.
If a day at the beach is calling, you’ll be pleased to know the gorgeous sand and sea of Pauanui Beach is just a 3-minute drive, or 15-minute walk, away. When you get home you can wash all the salt and sand off using the outdoor shower!
Bring the family, bring the boat, and let Harbour View Haven take care of the rest! Please note the pictured boat is not available for guest use.

We had a lovely weekend, location is perfect for the shops, beach and the local skate park handy for the teens. beautiful views and sunsets from the deck, would definitely love to book again !
One of the best properties that we have stayed in - beautiful view and very close to the shops. We had a good time, and we appreciate a collection of board games that were available for our group to borrow. One problem we had was to do with the house alarm. We weren't aware that the house was alarmed and no instruction on how to disarm the alarm was provided to us in the check-in instruction.
