Is such a lovely and private setting. We rented the extension so myself and my young adult daughter had space and it was great. Lovely thoughtful owner - who brought us a fan when the West Coast went mad with temperatures over 30C! Will definitely come back - thanks Tine.

Thank you Sally for revisiting the Paua Palace and taking the time to post a comment. Great to hear it all worked out for you and your daughter at the palace. You certainly had the local weather extremes covered from the hottest to the wettest days... Chapeau! It was lovely meeting you, see you again sometime! Tine

A really wonderful Palace...just what we needed for our holiday. Gorgeous objet d'art to keep us engaged and amused as well as wonderful color combinations to enrich our souls. The outside environment was also gorgeous. Being located so close to the river and lagoon was perfect...and how can you not love a grove of nikau palms just outside the doors 🌴

Pāua Palace is a cute retro slice of West Coast paradise at lovely Punakaiki. It’s a great, quirky and well located place to stay. Thanks for the opportunity to hang out at your place and for great service.
