About this property

Cute, comfortable, clean and self-contained -10 minutes walk to Mt. Paku summit

Mt Paku is one of Tairua's most stunning senic locations, with breathtaking summit views, walks and birdlife what more could you ask for, relax away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre. Enjoy the surroundings while you unwind with your favourite glass of wine, while the kids play in the outside bath (bubble bath supplied) and Dad works the the BBQ for dinner…life couldn't be better.

The decked area is perfect for entertaining, reading or if you like when the suns gone down and the fairy lights are on take a relaxing bath and listen for our local Ruru (Morepork) while doing some star gazing.

Lovely stay at a cute and unique bach
This is a lovely little Bach on Mt Paku, My brother and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay!It matches the pictures and is so quirky and unique, full of shells and trinkets and other cool things inside and out. I loved the windows that opened on the leafy wall. The shed is small (a single car garage plus the separate bathroom) but it has absolutely everything you’d need, including shovels for hot water beach and wifi. There’s also a barbecue, burner, pots and pans, games and dvds. It was also very clean and Matt and Donna were lovely. It was a bit tight to sleep in the upper bunk as an adult, and the outdoor shower and bath are a bit visible from part of their balcony (not that I saw anyone on it). The location is great although it’s a steep hill to get down to the marina. I would definitely recommend laying on the hammock or in the bathroom and listening to the birds, there’s were so many Tuis and smaller birds, and once it was fully dark we heard a morepork! Overall great place to stay!
