I feel like this place was pretty special a few years ago. The resort is built on the side of a huge hill, and, i'm guessing, used to be serviced by staff that would run you up in a golf cart, etc. - They seem understaffed, now, and you're kinda on your own for everything. If you're a hiker, and under 30, this might work for you. Otherwise, get ready to climb. - I'm not exaggerating. The cottage itself was cute, and nestled in the ferns, but, everything seems a little worn and dated.

Special stay
The grounds of the property are beautiful and we enjoyed using the amenities like the tennis court, pool and hot tub. It was also very nice that they would lend items like shovels for use at hot water beach free of charge. I enjoyed the stay.

Nice comfortable clean room set in a beautiful wooded location on a hillside. Lots of birdsong to sit and listen to on the attached deck. Very nice beach within walking distance. on-site restaurant has wonderful setting and ambience, food is good but not great. Pauanui is a little too quiet for my taste... only one road in and out, and only 2 restaurants open in the evening (other than the property), but I wouldn't ding the hotel for that.

It’s a little bit of paradise in the bush but only minutes to the beach. The only thing that lets it down is the food, definitely not 5 star food, we were there for 3 nights and our original intention was to have dinner there for all 3 nights, but my dinner was very basic and definitely not a lot of it, was very disappointed, we went out for dinner the remaining 2 nights, plus breakfast again is basic food that you make at home every day!

Good for fit and able people
Beautiful area, nice scenery, quiet. The hotel and rooms are lovely and well made but the rooms are up a one-way hill making access to them quite inconvenient. If you have babies or small children, this makes things difficult and less enjoyable. Wouldn't recommend coming to Pauanui in Winter, mostly because there are very few options for food.

Great property close to the beach. Rooms are awesome cabanas nestled into the woods. Really awesome nature around us. Only thing is its an uphill climb to all rooms.They do offer golf cart lifts on request to the rooms and let you take your car upto the to unload luggage. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable with balconies. Restaurant is good could be much better with a little organization. Overall we had a great stay
