Hey, I'm Sarah! Escape the four walls of life in the city and come and wake to the sound of bird song, (ok-ok rooster chorus 😝). Watch the sunset over the pinnacles range and best of all! You're 4 mins to the nearest swimming hole! Experience a relaxed rural retreat, set back from the hubbub of touristy crowds on five acres, just a short drive from Pauanui, Tairua and Whangamata. You'll be staying in a converted shed - think expansive green outlooks. You'll also have plenty of room outside for a game of soccer with the kids. With high ceilings, rustic charm, and plenty of room (90sqm) you'll have the space to unwind after a long day out, exploring the Peninsula. You’ll be sharing the property with our family and our boisterous Swiss Shepherd, who takes his role as “chief greeter” very seriously. He may bark when you arrive or wander past to check who’s visiting. He’s friendly but big and boisterous, so if you’re not comfortable around dogs, this may not be the best fit. You'll be overlooking the orchard which gives the place a down-to-earth feel where you'll have privacy and space. You'll love the location! Just 4 minutes to the local swimming hole for freshwater dips and jumping off the river banks. Ooop-ooop! You'll also find a network of nearby walking tracks, stunning Coromandel beaches, rock climbing, and mountain biking tracks. This is a great base for exploring the best of the Coromandel so if you’re after a relaxed and nature-filled escape with plenty of room to breathe then this is a warm and welcoming base to make your own.

Hi, I’m Sarah. My partner Darius, our son Caspian (10), and I live on this beautiful 5-acre block just outside Pauanui. We love the slower pace of rural life — the sound of birds in the morning, the changing seasons, and providing a beautiful space for guests to unwind. Caspian is a social butterfly, so if you have children who love to play, he’ll be a fast and loyal friend. If you love nature, open spaces and a down-to-earth getaway, this is your space. When I’m not looking after the acre of gardens 😅 I work with women’s community groups around Aotearoa and Darius is a property developer. If you prefer absolute privacy, you’ll have plenty of it — but if you need anything, we’re around.

We're tucked a few minutes from Pauanui Village a popular Coromandel destination known for its long sandy beaches, clear rivers, and laid-back Kiwi atmosphere. Within a few minutes’ drive you’ll find several stunning freshwater swimming holes where you can jump off the riverbanks or huge mountain rocks on hot days. Pauanui Beach is just down the road, as are miles of scenic walking and biking trails. There are also great spots to launch kayaks or paddle-boards if you bring your own. For day trips, Pauanui, Tairua, Cathedral Cove, Hot Water Beach and Whangamatā are all within easy reach — making this an ideal base for exploring some of the Coromandel’s most-loved destinations. Despite its peaceful valley outlook you've got cafes, a supermarket, and the beach town buzz 15 minutes drive with a quiet orchard calm when you don’t.
