I had a great stay at this resort on the beautiful Coromandel peninsula. The apartment was clean and well-equipped, offering wonderful views of the bay. The staff were helpful, and I enjoyed the convenient laundry facilities. On the downside, some aspects felt a bit dated, and there weren't any open restaurants nearby, but overall, it provided excellent value for money.

Paku Lodge offers pristine accommodations with gorgeous sea views and a friendly atmosphere. I appreciated the clean and spacious rooms, and the amenities like bikes and kayaks were fantastic. However, the location requires a bit of a walk to get to town, which may not suit everyone. Overall, it was a lovely getaway that I'd highly recommend.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which boasts stunning views and spacious accommodations. The apartment was clean and well-equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. However, the decor felt slightly dated, and while the laundry facilities were a plus, it was a bit inconvenient that there weren't more open restaurants nearby. Overall, it offered great value for money, especially for those looking to relax by the water.

During my stay at Paku Lodge, I found it to be an absolute gem with an unbeatable view of the bay. The room was well-stocked, clean, and very comfortable, especially for our family with kids. The access to the beach was super easy, and the hikes around the area were stunning. On the downside, the area could be a bit steep in some places, but the overall experience was fantastic and definitely worth it for the value.

This resort offered a wonderful stay with breathtaking views overlooking the water, and the cleanliness of the apartment was impressive. The friendly and helpful staff made our experience even better. However, the bathrooms were small and there was no air conditioning, which made it a bit uncomfortable during the hotter moments of our stay. Overall, it was great value and a lovely spot to unwind.
