The holiday paradise of Pāuanui is a resort town designed and built with relaxation in mind. Lying on a narrow strip of land between the Pacific Ocean and a shallow tranquil harbour, it is across the water from neighbouring Tairua, although it's 30 km by road. Pāuanui has one of the region's longest and most gentle swimming beaches, plenty of recreational areas, golfing, boating, fishing, surfing, wind and kite-surfing, if the breeze is right.
Stay & Explore The Village
As a holiday town, Pāuanui is perfectly set up with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. The village has all the amenities you would expect with a supermarket, surf shop and petrol station to well-curated fashions and homewares and great indoor/outdoor dining options.
