    We absolutely loved our stay at The Pirates Rest. The place was beautifully clean from the moment we walked in, and the communication throughout was amazing - clear, friendly, and incredibly helpful.A tiny house; wow, what a surprise. Despite its size, it felt incredibly spacious because every detail had been so thoughtfully designed. You can tell a lot of care has gone into making the space both comfortable for the 3 of us and really functional.The location couldn’t be better. Easy access to the beach made it perfect for morning walks and sunset strolls, and the whole area had such a relaxed, welcoming vibe.We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and would happily stay again.

    Pirate's Rest was the perfect location for a 2-day boys' trip for me and my 7 year old. Super close to the beach, friendly surroundings, and a really simple and easy layout to the tiny home. Would highly recommend.

    I've walked past this little bach many times over the years and admired it, but staying in it was so much better than expected. The comfort, the proximity to the beach, the views and the outdoor shower with a proper door you close and hot water, was Heavenly. The bar straight off the kitchen totally enhances this bach experience we loved it. My teenage daughter loved the bunk cubby. We'll be back for sure.

    Our family in law stayed here, and they loved it. Private own little space away from the rest of the house. The bathroom, bed room and cute little kitchen meant they had their own little set up. They couldn’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed there stay here .

    Super cute place. Felt big after two weeks traveling in a van around South Island. The location is great. Just the second row of houses from the beach and a short walk to Pauanui's center of commerce (grocery story, bakery, 3 restaurants, second hand shop, post office...)
