Nice room but expect some noise

Really nice spacious room with views out to the estuary which is pretty. I was enjoying my stay until I started hearing noises from the accompanying rooms so the walls are probably a little thin. That was during the nighttime and then I got woken up the next morning by people moving around and opening and closing cupboards etc. You can also hear cars coming and going as it’s only single glazing. If you’re not a light sleeper, this might not bother you. The bed was quite comfortable, I liked the big screen TV, and that there was a small kitchenette there

Fantastic place, charming, quiet, Terry a great host/owner; beautiful location 2.5 km walk to downtown Tairua but pitch dark at night, glad I had a reflector vest Basics in place for cooking, TV has Netflix, prime and good channels. Water across the street, complimentary kayaks and shovels for hot beach ( but I was late getting there) Great base to take off in day trips Definitely my go to should I ever return.

We were so happy with our accommodation. Our room was spacious, very clean & modern and so comfortable, and was the closest to beach front. Felt very spoilt. There was a private balcony with outdoor furniture inviting us to just sit and relax overlooking the most beautiful view of the bay and Tairau on the opposite side. And we did. Just magic! Tairua is a short drive away with cafes and shops. A very pretty town between mountains and the bay and sea. Awesome walks on the beach just steps away. Can't say enough about Paku Lodge Resort. Would love to stay there again should we visit the area again. Just a note that the reception office is closed until 2pm, check in time.

Excellent motel

Excellent stop on a tour of Coromandel, with really friendly staff . Property was a really comfortable motel with added extras of bicycles and kayaks to use free of charge. Directly opposite small beach, at the beginning of Mount Paku summit trail and near a lovely cafe for breakfast, The Old Mill Cafe and smart restaurant, The Beach Club for one of best meals of the holiday. Really recommend this place for a short stay.
