Located in the North Island of New Zealand, Pauanui would
have to be amongst the most beautiful spots in the world. Nestled into the East Coast of
the Coromandel Peninsula, due east of Thames
and on the
southern side of the Tairua Harbour, Pauanui is essentially a
spit which has formed at the conjunction of wave and river action of the north side of the
Pauanui headland.
The result is a sheltered and idyllic settlement attracting vacationers
and settlers alike. It is conveniently located some 150 kilometers by road from Auckland
and Hamilton. The Pauanui airstrip is within 30 minutes of Auckland airport via charter
flight or private plane.
