About this property

Harbour Edge Bach for you

The bach is simple yet comfortable leading to a relaxing holiday. Heat pump/aircon, modern kitchen, gas heated hot water in the main bach-"The Palace" so unlimited showers. The second shower and toilet is in the utility outside-great for the sandy or fishy ones!
Bikes are available to explore the area or just walk the many paths of Pauanui- these intertwine between the streets and lead to the many playgrounds and tennis courts, beach spots etc. At Pauanui you have the benefit of being able to swim in either the safe harbour or around at the more exciting ocean beach. Also do visit the Water Fall just out of the township. It is an easy 15 minute walk from the road amid native flora. You then get to have a great fresh water swim in the deep pool- try sitting under the water fall with the water massaging your shoulders.

We are only a 2 minute walk to the garage where you can pick up your morning herald and essentials. Just past the garage is Pauanui Club with a bistro plus a cafe in the golf store area Also the laundromat is by the club. There is a good SuperValue store, bakery, bar, cafe and restaurant a 5 minute walk away in the shopping centre. At the Information Centre which is opposite the shopping centre you can find details of any planned activities, get maps, purchase gifts and the staff are super helpful.

Special conditions:
Toddlers definitely welcome, but please we ask that parents be fully responsible due to closeness to the water. You can block the entrance to the reserve with a temporary trellis which is supplied, but the front of my property is not fenced off from the road.

Small dogs are welcome during the summer months- note the section is NOT fully contained as mentioned above.
Tradesmen- please make an inquiry indicating your accommodation requirements l will reply with my trades offer and conditions.
A $500 damage deposit is applicable on booking, but will be not charged through unless you cause property damage or do not clean and hence a cleaning fee is incurred. If you have chosen not to book nor pay additional for a cleaning option then you agree to clean thoroughly, leaving the property ready for the next guest. See paid cleaning options below.

No parties are permitted. Smoking is outdoors only. Please dispose of butts safely and do not throw onto ground.

Extras: Cleaning (Optional, NZ$70.00 per stay or Bathroom clean only $35.00 per stay) NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Bring your own linen (sheets and pillowcases, bath towels, beach towels, tea towels).

Wonderful weekend stay

The bach had everything we needed for a short weekend break. The location was excellent, within easy walking distance to the waterfront walkway, garage, town centre and a great play park for visiting littlies. Robyn was easily contactable and provided helpful information whenever required. We hope to visit again sometime soon!

School Holidays

Excellent, traditional kiwi Bach. Surprisingly warm considering how cold the autumn weather was. Kitchen and toilet plumbing need some attention but I believe Robyn is on to this. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect kiwi bach

Robyn was super helpful and easy to contact. Property had everything we needed to relax. Comfortable beds, plenty of space, basic kitchen ingredients, a bit of ice to get the G&Ts started. It was lovely to be able to walk down to the water. Property is unfenced which might cause issues with small children and wandering pets, but you'll just have to keep an eye on them. Grass is a bit prickly so bring jandles or have tough feet.

Doggie holiday

We felt very lucky that Robyn accepted us with our dogs to stay at her perfectly appointed bach. The dogs had the best holiday ever, getting up and walking out to the estuary to swim. My teen and I also had a lovely stay in a quintessential Kiwi bach. Fyi, take a tether for dogs as there are escape routes everywhere. (E.g. no front fence). First time we have tethered dogs but they were happy sitting in the sun outside. Hope we can go back sometime :-)

We loved our pet friendly stay. Robyn is a friendly host. The garden opens onto the reserve, so we loved our dog walks and enjoyed the scenic views. The bach is cosy and comfortable and we felt right at home. A special family stay.

Best harbour views

Small and perfectly formed. Warm, comfy bed, clean and tidy. We wanted for nothing, except a little more sun! Even in the rain this place, with its harbour views, is magic.

About the host

Hosted by Robyn H

Host profile image
I grew up not too far from Pauanui and have always enjoyed what the Coromandel Peninsula has to offer- from the top to the bottom and on both coast lines. I recall all the great times we had at our beach holidays at Te Puru on the Firth of Thames. It is now great to have this beautiful spot for my family and friends to return to.

Why they chose this property

I came over for a Sunday drive one weekend when these sections were first on the market. Went home and decided I could do it and bought just the empty section way back in the 1980's. What a great decision!!
I love Pauanui as it is so relaxing, not too much town and the choice of the harbour beach or ocean beach.

What makes this property unique

Excellent central location on a harbour edge reserve. Water views and amazing sunsets too.
Large section- plenty of room for boats, cars, play.
I prefer to keep the costs down with the objective of enabling others to explore the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula. Hence I do not charge a mandatory cleaning fee, but offer self clean or chosen additional paid cleaner options.
