We stayed our last night in New Zealand here. Our room was pleasant and clean and it was nice to have a separate bedroom from the kitchen and living area with a door. The exceptional thing about this hotel are the owners. Our flight didn't leave from Auckland until 10:45 PM. We had to check out by 10:00 AM, but... More

We spent a weekend, two nights, at this motel and found it very pleasant. It is very clean, has all the ingredients expected in an NZ motel. The units are Lockwood cottages split into two or three units. We were not disturbed by noise at any time and found the one bed unit roomy and comfortable. The owners, who are... More

The site is located on a gentle slope with a comparatively small number of units most facing a large grassed area. The cabins are furnished with newish items of furniture, carpets are spotless and the shower/toilet is large and sensibly laid out. Shopping for essentials is but a few paces away in the town centre. During our time there the... More

The new owners of Pauanui Pines are very friendly while still being totally professional. The units are like mini-suites dotted amongst the greenery for privacy. We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit with kitchenette, ideal for our family of four. Al fresco dining! Our girls loved the pool and the tennis court was being well-used. It's just a short... More

Lovely place to stay, I always choose the pines when in Paunui. Lovely owners, accommodation is quiet and clean, quaint place to stay. Can take a walk through the town to the beach. Shops just across the road, can cook a meal back in your room if you like.

My husband and I loved staying at Pauanui Pines Motor Lodge this weekend!! It is central to many places on the Coromandel but this weekend we explored Pauanui walks (coast and estuary side) as well as enjoying the ferry ride over to Tairua. Getting to know both places and the locals were great. Barry and Robin were lovely hosts and... More

My husband, me and our one-year-old twins stayed at this hotel in November, 2012. Upon arrival, it was like connecting with an old friend. Barry had our room all set up and gave us suggestions about where to go / what to see / where to eat. The room was spacious, clean and overlooked a golf course. Inside the room... More

The lodge we stayed in was spacious and well equipped. The kitchen/dining area was great, as we were able to do some self-catering and relax after driving and sight-seeing. The shops and restaurants are a 5minute walk away. The whole area is purpose-built for holidays and is quiet, clean and safe. We had a power cut during our stay, which... More

Handy location, very scenic. Units are well spaced out and very quiet. When we stayed all the units were occupied but we didn't hear a whisper from anywhere. So peaceful and relaxing. Barry is more than helpful without being intrusive. Units lovely and clean.
