Very disappointed
Pros:

The property was beautiful but not as described, we overlooked the driveway on the roadside at the very front of the property, the furthest away from the pool side & almost all other apartments were empty so it seems like we could have been placed in a better location.

Cons:

The hosts were very abrupt & the spa pool had only been cleaned that morning so was unable to use it as was still cold. The keys were not working properly so had to leave the main entrance was open all night & the people upstairs kept us awake all night stomping around, as one of our kids was 11 yrs old, someone had to be at the pool with her at all times & due to the spa not working one of us had to stand in the pool area to be with her & got bitten by mosquitoes

Great stay.
Pros:

Everything! We stayed for a week. It was supposed to be relaxing end part of our holiday. Though there was a great pool, beach nearby we spent a lot of our time exploring the Coromandel area. So much to see!
That said the accommodation was smashing. Big rooms, all the facilities you would need, even caught up on the washing. Big underground car park.

Cons:

Nothing with the accommodation.
Know that Pauanui is a mainly a second home/holiday home town. There are a handful of shops, one supermarket which provides a good choice and there a few cafe/restaurants which depending on the time of year are not all open.

Restorative. Would definitely stay again.
Pros:

Quiet, pool, spacious apartment

Cons:

In our unit, carpet was tired. Visiting midweek in late Feb, the town is very very quiet. This is a plus or minus depending on your perspective. Once we adjusted, we enjoyed the calm a lot.

We had an excellent stay celebrating my partners birthday, and the swimming pool we used every day
Pros:

Very well located only about 100m from the surf club, and an easy 15minute walk to shops and restaurants.

Cons:

Remember to take the basics that you personally like for cooking etc. . I always like to take a sharp knife, dishwashing powder and dish liquid.

5day stay was very comfortable. As we were out each day with friends we didn’t take advantage of the pool and other faci
Pros:

Spotlessly clean, secure parking, very quiet, host Louise was a delight

Cons:

No air conditioning in bedrooms, no mirrors in bedrooms, we were surprised to be supplied only 2 toilet paper rolls for 2people for 5 days, with a charge of $1per roll extra. Also extra cost for other incidentals which are supplied in all other places we’ve stayed. Felt very mean, especially considering the cost of the booking.
