What guests think
Across many reviews, guests describe Paku Lodge Resort as a quiet, motel style stay by the water with beautiful harbour views, clean and comfortable rooms with kitchenettes and balconies, and friendly, helpful hosts who accommodate late arrivals and offer kayaks.
Steps from a calm beach and the Paku summit trail, with cafes nearby and Tairua township a short drive away. Many appreciate practical touches such as free bikes and kayaks, shovels for Hot Water Beach, and on site parking. Some note dated decor or tired areas, and isolated comments mention parking down a hill, a small complimentary milk allowance, or inconvenient room placement. Expect a relaxed, value focused base for exploring the Coromandel.

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.

The property is in excellent maintenance. The kitchen was well stocked and everything worked great. There were kayaks that we were able to use which was so fun. The internet was 30 mbps which is great. The one bedroom units 8, 9 and 10 have great views and for us were worth extra cost.

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.

Delayed may weather during a long hike, I had to change plans last minute. Was able to talk to the helpful staff at Paku Lodge and they arranged for a very late check if. Didn’t get to Tairua until after 9pm, but was happy to have a place to stay. Note: the town shuts down early, so no shops were open when I got there, but in the AM there were a couple cool cafes open for breakfast (I wen to Out of the Blue) and a cool mineral & gemstone shop called Heaven & Earth.

My partner and I stayed at Paku Lodge for the first time over New Year and absolutely loved this place. The location is spectacular, right on the calm sandy bay. We loved sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine enjoying the sunset. Walking distance to Paku summit for 360 degree views, beautiful beaches and nice cafes/restaurants and short drive to town for supermarket/take aways etc. The apartments with kitchen and ensuite bathroom are clean, spacious and comfortable. Family run and super friendly. Can’t wait to go back!

Great place, highly recommend to anyone staying in the coromandel. Location is great with many great places near by and being on the waterfront is amazing. The rooms are super clean and well kept with anything you need from a short to long stay. The staff are very nice giving local recommendations. The only downside is that i didnt get to stay here for longer as i only booked one night so next time i would definitely stay here for much longer.

This is a small hamlet with few but really good options for dining and coffee. All within walking distance. The rooms kitchenette was well equipped and it was roomy. The view from our balcony was lovely a great stay!

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.

This is a gem of a place. We had an amazing view!! The room was just right, great shower, perfect little kitchenette, very comfortable bed. The proprietors were so charming... a lovely family (with excellent suggestions for dining). And waking up to that amazing view was icing on the cake. We were sorry to just get one night there. We would definitely return and stay there again.

Amazing views especially of the fireworks on NYE, quiet, relaxing spot away from the summer hustle and bustle, great Kiwi vibe. Safe swimming beach for little ones. Easy 2min walk to good café and fishing club.

Soirée passée à Tairua, la chambre était très confortable avec une belle vue dégagée sur la mer. Le motel est situé dans un endroit calme à quelques minutes en voiture du centre ville.

Loved the outlook to the beach. The bed was fantastic. Great to have Sky TV. Walking distance to the surf beach. Great proximity to the Old Mill Cafe. The unit could have been cleaner - the outside of the fridge was dirty, toilet wasn’t properly cleaned, vanity sink not properly cleaned. Unusually the policy included washing our own dishes or being charged extra. Could not get hold of anyone to try and check in an hour early. Not a big deal, but would have appreciated a call back. We would stay there again but specifically state that the cleaning needed attention.

Clean room, beautiful location, easy parking. Enjoyed our stay there and looking out onto the stunning estuary. Great to be able to borrow a spade for hot water beach. Good base to see the surrounding area. Would recommend.
