Great views. It is a lockwood house so people need to know it is going to make some interesting noises and you are not getting burgled:-). Great place to take a break, handy to Ocean Beach, Whitianga, great places to eat locally as well.

Paku Hilltop. Views forever.
Great property, second time we have stayed and thoroughly enjoyed the location, views, privacy and peace and quiet. Only small negative is the master bedroom really needs new blinds or curtains as the current ones do not provide any privacy. Apart from this and a few scary creaks and bangs being a wooden house, would highly recommend the property for a relaxing break or longer term stay.

Fantastic Views
There was a hiccup on our arrival, the local company contracted to clean change beds etc hadn't come. Both the company and property owner were very apologetic and took steps to make up for the disappointment and the situation was eventually rectified by about 6pm. Being an older Lockwood property the creaks and groans from the property all through the night was a significant distraction to the point I would not stay again.

Very prompt and precise communication! Was able to do a late check in without issue. Great views and very well stocked kitchen! Yes, the house does creak but that's part of the experience! Loved it!

TAIRUAS BEST KEPT SECRET!
Oh we loved this place so much! The practicalities such as a safe and secure space to park our boat right through to the thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. And the VIEW! It was simply magical being able to have our morning cuppa out on the deck whilst taking in such a gorgeous vista. The bed was comfy and we slept so well. And my partner loved the sound system and the music from the local radio station whilst cooking on the BBQ - magic!! To add to that, the host Michelle was so kind and accommodating and we were so grateful to her and the wonderful cleaners for allowing us a late check out as my partner was quite ill. We will definitely be back again - thank you so much for sharing your little piece of paradise!

Amazing stay at Paku Paradise
The property has stunning views. The property is well appointed, the host has done a great job of providing everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The only downside was the loud noises emitted by the Lockwood cabin, very unsettling, difficult to sleep. The host Michelle was lovely, answered all my emails very promptly. Thank you Michelle.

Beautiful Views
The house was fine, views dining and living room beautiful. Kitchen was fine but could have used more lighting. The problem was the very loud banging of the house - starting in the evening until 4:00 AM or so. Loud enough to wake you if you did doze off! My husband went to answer the door a few times thinking someone was knocking. So that was a issue. We had paid to have linens provided, but the beds were not made up. I used the linens in the closet to make the bed. No big deal but I was surprised. Would we stay there again, no, due the loud noises.

Great location in the cool little town Tiarua
Beautiful views from this cabin or batch. The house creaks at night but it was a very wet and windy night. Nice little hike up to the peak, and we enjoyed the local beach as well as the novelty of Hot Water Beach

Love the views
We loved staying at this Bach… the views were amazing, the home clean and there were lots of homely extras that make it comfortable. We appreciated all the outdoor seating options as well. Being a Lockwood it did creak, a lot, which comes with the territory of being an all wood house. Would certainly stay again.
