Detailed Reviews
Cabin very tidy and clean. Staff at the front desk very friendly and helpful. Gave us plenty of tips on must see spots around the Coromandel. The free use of the shovels was ideal for Hot Water Beach. Everything you could need for a great stay in the Coromandel.

We loved the location of this Motel - Lodge.
A short walk to Shops and Cafes .
We enjoyed using their Bikes, to visit the Harbour Area. To go to the Main Beach, it's a short walk alongside the Airfield.
We enjoyed Flying in, and walking across the road to stay at Beautiful Pauanui Pines Motor Lodge.
The complex - Resort has a Tennis Court, Lovely Swimming- Spa Pool , Sun bathing Area. Higher up there is a lovely Sunset Barbaque Area.
We enjoyed staying in their comfortable Motel double room.
Sky T.V is situated in their comfortable Lounge Room by the Pool Area.

Beautifully kept property with nicely appointed and immaculately clean units. Loved my 2 night stay and would have loved to stay longer. The units are spacious with cosy furnishings and are really well equipped for self-catering, and the location is super convenient to the little collection of shops and cafes in Pauanui. The owners were very nice and even kindly gave me a jumpstart for my car when the battery went flat!

We visited for a wedding so spent very little time at the accommodation. It was exceptionally clean and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with cooking utensils and crockery etc. The accommodation was perfect for us to spend a night. We unfortunately didn't have time to check out the pool, spa and other amenities on site. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Really a great place where we could feel like home. The rooms are very nice, spacious and comfortable. The hosts really care about the details and that’s something you can see everywhere. Parking is easy and there is a restaurant, a takeaway and a supermarket directly on the other side of the street. The lodge has a huge BBQ space with two nice grills.

Pauanui Pines is most definitely pet friendly and gets the big thumbs up from our pooch and family. Local walks are fabulous, peaceful and safe: dogs can be walked around most of Pauanui's beach and harbour trails, shops, cafes and bars. Dogs are welcome in the units too, which are warm, very clean and homely. The dog thought the harbour and beach swimming were great too - and we enjoyed the motel spa 😄

Return visit visiting family in Pauanui. This is the perfect accommodation option located just a short stroll from the Center shops & restaurants. Our third time here, and always so neat and clean, and the pool and spa set up is fantastic.
The hosts Carol & Simon went above and beyond providing pool toys for the Grandsons when they came back, they had a great time.
Thanks once more, and see you again when we return in a couple of weeks…
