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.

Great location in the cool little town Tiarua

Beautiful views from this cabin or batch. The house creaks at night but it was a very wet and windy night. Nice little hike up to the peak, and we enjoyed the local beach as well as the novelty of Hot Water Beach

Amazing stay at Paku Paradise

The property has stunning views. The property is well appointed, the host has done a great job of providing everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The only downside was the loud noises emitted by the Lockwood cabin, very unsettling, difficult to sleep. The host Michelle was lovely, answered all my emails very promptly. Thank you Michelle.

It was a beautiful stay with the most amazing views and changeable everyday. I would have given a 5 star rating but on arrival, after 3pm, walked into the accommodation where the cleaners had forgotten to clean after the last visitors, so was abit annoyed having travelled a fair way with my elderly mum. Having said that, got on the phone to Michelle, the owner, who promptly contacted the cleaners and they were there pretty much straightaway. Also, Michelle had kindly refunded part of the stay due to the inconvenience. Overall, fabulous stay. Well stocked with kitchenware, pantry items, reading books, games etc. Lovely to sit out on the decking early morning and evening. I would definitely love to come back again 😊

midwinter at Paku Paradise

I've stayed here multiple times and the location still leaves a warm and positive impression. Easy access with whatever you need to keep you comfortable, off street parking is always a bonus for unpacking/ repacking. Even in winter you can be warm and cosy as you watch the sea and birds wheeling past. Time it right and you will get to enjoy the sunshine on the ample deck with your glass of wine.
Enjoy the view with your glass of wine.
Wake to incredible sunrises - even in winter!
Watch the passing showers on cloudy days.

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 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.

Paku Hilltop. Views forever.

Great property, second time we have stayed and thoroughly enjoyed the location, views, privacy and peace and quiet. Only small negative is the master bedroom really needs new blinds or curtains as the current ones do not provide any privacy. Apart from this and a few scary creaks and bangs being a wooden house, would highly recommend the property for a relaxing break or longer term stay.
