About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Escape to the mountains at Sleeping Giant B&B, Pauanui/Tairua area.

Surrounded by native bush and beautiful gardens, with views to the fabulous Coromandel Pinnacles, Sleeping Giant B&B is a quiet, private, self contained unit separate from the main house. The property is just a short drive from Pauanui and Tairua beaches. The unit comes with a comfortable King size bed, shower, toilet, Wifi and TV.
There are tea and coffee making facilities, fridge and microwave. (No kitchen sorry) but a continental breakfast with tea, coffee and milk is provided to start your day.
Enjoy the peace and quiet, wander through the bush, or use us as your base while you explore our amazing coast. We are only 12 minutes from Pauanui and Tairua, 25 minutes to Whangamata, and forty minutes to Hahei and Hot Water Beach.
For the keen trampers we are just a few minutes from the historic Broken Hills trails in the Puketui Valley, where you can explore old tunnels and abandoned mine relics. And in the warmer weather we have the beautiful Tairua River at the bottom of the driveway with amazing swimming holes.

PLEASE NOTE!
Due to Summer peak demand a minimum booking of 2 nights is required between December 16th to February 28th thanks.

The gardens were a tropical paradise-dlowers, fruit trees and a view of the Pinnacles. So secluded in the mountains, it was a private retreat.
