Top Pauanui Hotel Reviews

Grand Mercure Puka Park Resort

Grand Mercure Puka Park Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Very clean and beautiful rooms. Also beautiful restaurant, fantastic when I paid for add-on breakfast - best breakfasts of whole NZ trip. They do not provide clean bed sheets daily fyi. The dinners were also fantastic and the view from the rooms was fantastic. Difficult if you have any sort of knee or ankle issue - lots of very steep uphill, lots of stairs. Resort is at the edge of a cute suburb, rather than totally isolated as the pictures imply. Some of the most friendly staff I have ever experienced. Awful road through the mountains to get to it though. Some of the most winding and tiny roads with rude fellow drivers I have seen."

"The view from Apartment #8 was amazing! The location was great as well, being directly across from the beach and walkway, and a short stroll into the center of town. Even being so close to the street, the living area remained quiet due to the enclosed balcony. Chris and Gina are fantastic hosts, and are improving/maintaining this property to a high standard. Highly recommended!"

"We stayed 2 nights in a Superior Deluxe Studio over the weekend. The room was clean, comfortable, well maintained and large for a studio. The kitchenette had all the essentials and had the weather been better we would have enjoyed the deck area. The motel is a 5 min walk to the centre of town which made getting around easy. Relaxed and friendly service from Fred added to our experience. We were very happy with our choice, especially for the price paid."
