Paku Paradise Plus

I'm a regular visitor here. After two years away it is great to return to a relaxing spot with great views. some upgrades make this getaway even more comfortable. Check out the local cafes at the bottom of Mt.Paku when your here - Tairua club and Old Mill are favourites.

We really enjoyed our 4 day stay. The views from the house and deck are stunning during the day and by night the stars are amazing! We enjoyed our climb up Paku hill and walk to the beach, as well as trips to Whangamata, Cathedral Cove and Whitianga. The creaks and bangs can be noisy - as mentioned by others - but it wouldn’t deter us from staying again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It’s a cute home on the hill with magical views! It was as described in the listing. Well stocked kitchen and my daughter and husband loved using the binoculars. But the house does creak a lot! And remember to bring your own beach towels.
