New Zealand's best resort getaway at Pauanui Beach is found on the Coromandel Peninsular, just two hours' drive south of Auckland.

The town of Pauanui sits across from the large town of Tairua on the banks of the Tairua River, with several islands between them.

Slipper Island is the largest, with its own private resort, with Penguin Island and Rabbit Island situated off its southern tip.

The forested terrain of the Alderman Islands is a protected nature reserve that is easily accessible from Pauanui Beach hotels.

There is much to do both on and off the glittering beaches, as diving, surfing and kayaking are especially popular.

Spend a relaxing day at one of the resort spas, driving ranges or expansive golf courses, or find adventure skydiving over the coast or hiking up Mount Pauanui.

A ferry can be taken across the mouth of the river for a fun outing in Tairua.

After a sunny morning on Pauanui Beach, visit the beautiful Kennedy Park Recreational Reserve, a great place to spend a shady afternoon.
