Pauanui. View of Tairua from Pauanui Beaches

Because the camera is installed on the North Island of New Zealand, in its northern part, any other point of the country is perceived as the south. Wonderful sandy beaches, picturesque mountains and subtropical forests throughout the territory of the Coromandel Peninsula attract thousands of tourists each year.

Pauanui Resort, on the east coast of which the camera is installed, increasingly attracts the attention of the rich, from around the world, who buy real estate here. A small house costs a million dollars.

For those travelers who do not want to invest in local real estate and just want to spend a vacation in Pauanui, there are several hotels such as Grand Mercure Puka Park Resort with rooms at $200 per night. You can find cheaper options on Tairua Mountain, which we see in the background.

You can get to Pauanui by plane; the airfield is right in the center of the resort. Next to the runway is a golf course, and there is the beach for surfers at the ocean side.
