Sue and Sandy
Relaxing and uplifting!! Pāua palace is quirky, bright and cheerful. Perfect for an early spring break. It has everything you need. Sit on the deck with a coffee/wine watch the wood pigeon, fantails and weka in the nikaus, Easy walk to beach and lots of other walks to explore. If it rains, especially in evening, light the fire and enjoy the cosy sitting room and the wide variety of books to discover. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Response from Owner
Dear Sue, thank you for your great feedback! It means a lot to me from a loyal visitor to the palace. You would have seen a lot of changes over the years. Yes, the front room has had a makeover, sporting a rich vibe in retro fashion, thank you for your comment! I'm so glad it all worked out for you and Sandy, rain or shine...until next time! Tine

Paua Palace is a little piece of paradise!!! Tucked into a little cove, it has all the things that you need for a wonderful time away! It is very quirky with lots of fun furniture which takes you back in time!!! A good sized woodburner keeps the little bach nice and warm. The outdoor bath carries you away to an island paradise with Nikau Palms dotting the backyard!! We will definitely be back!!
