The room was beautiful and the bathroom had a heated floor which was really nice. The resort was within walking distance to the beach. The big knock against this resort is the food. They offer a very underwhelming continental breakfast for minimum $23 nzd per person. It was not good value for the cost. For such a nice resort, they have a lot of room to improve on their food options, especially since Pauanui is so remote and the closest food options in town are extremely limited. Some of the restaurants in town are only open a few days a week. We had to drive 30 mins to the next closest towns to find better restaurant options. Don’t rely on this resort for good quality food options. It is otherwise well maintained and located if you’re looking for a beach vacation.
