This clean lodge in the town of Tairua New Zealand had a friendly proprietor who lent us shovels to enjoy nearby Hot Sand Beach. We swam in the water just below the lodge and we used their kayaks to explore the estuary, and their bikes to ride into town for breakfast. One evening we hiked up Mount Paku behind the... More

We had room number 1 and it had awesome views of the water. The room was comfortable, clean, modern with a fully equipped kitchenette. Magazines in the rooms were a nice little touch. Wifi advertised is NOT FREE but you need to pay for it.

If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city and work,this place is tops! Waterfront, (safe swimming at your doorstep) 180degree views to surrounding hills and beaches and superb accommodation all clean and fresh with tastefully decorated units in a nautical theme. The cyprus tree restaurant (fine dining, not BYO) is 3 mins walk on... More

My husband and I stayed one night in the Paku Lodge Motel, Tairua, recently - Our Unit 3 was looking out over the Tairua harbour - an amazing view. The unit was roomy and well designed and maintained. The deck was spacious and the driveway is rather steep but well maintained and concreted. Car Park was out from the back... More

The unit was clean and comfortable. The kids slept in the lounge... More

Could not fault the location and the facilities are good as well. Without driving, there are no good restaurants local. There are two but they are rather so, so. The views from the rooms are fantastic. Only reason it's marked down is the price. Obviously we agreed to pay the price without knowing what to expect. If you can get... More
