A Native Coastal New Zealand Experience - Seaviews Pataua

Float beneath the stars in a cedar hot tub on top of a hill surrounded by 50 acres of virgin native bush &
sea with magnificent Ocean beaches & a view out to the Poor Knight Islands.. Here the stars seem closer and the rest of the world a million miles away. The hot tub is filled with mineral rich spring water from 100metres below the surface. Space to enjoy and the feeling of being alone in paradise is so uplifting. See how it looked to Captain Cook as you walk through the bush track entrance at your doorstep (this is original native bush not regrowth) . Stand beneath estimated 800 year old Kauri trees there are hundreds of young and old Kauri trees, ancient Puriri (hollow fallen trunks where the Maori buried their dead), Nikau palms & stands of Ponga ferns. Be silent to view & hear wood pigeon their wings thundering along the tree tops, tui, fern birds, kiwi (at night) & moreporks. 3 Kayak available 2 are excellent quality fishing kayaks. Paddle up the river at the end of the driveway to a secluded beach with surfing, paddle boarding, fishing & snorkeling activities to choose from. Transport to/from airport or outings available by arrangement. Small boat launch possible 1 min from driveway & larger boats can launch at Pataua Beach 5 minutes up the road. Walk along the golden sands of Pataua beach & soak in the wood fueled bath at night beneath the stars. Natural spring water on tap. The house includes 2 double rooms & 1 single, a huge open plan kitchen/living area with large size table tennis table, a lounge room with fireplace & TV, 2 toilets & one bathroom. Plenty of off road parking. Seaviews Pataua is more than just accommodation. It is a native NZ experience at your doorstep.

We had such a wonderful stay at this bach in Pataua. Our wee family of four had an amazing time from start to finish. Maria was an exceptional host - warm, thoughtful, and full of helpful local tips. She went above and beyond by arranging complimentary horse rides for the kids, as well as goat feeds where they even got to brush the goats. Such a highlight for them.The property itself was peaceful, well‑equipped, and had everything we needed. We loved how close we were to the beaches, with easy access to swimming and fishing. We even managed to catch some great snapper, which made the trip even more memorable.One of our favourite parts of the stay was listening to and spotting the beautiful native birds around the property - such a treat to wake up to. The hot tub and pool were perfect for relaxing on site, and the table tennis kept everyone entertained on a rainy day.A fantastic spot for families looking for a quiet, nature‑filled getaway. We’d happily return.

Fabulous

We loved our stay. Loved the true unspoilt native bush, the birds, the views and all that it brings. The house has everything you need, so comfortable, especially the beds. Loved the table tennis table, hot bath tub and pool. The garden is so big you can play cricket or kick a ball around. We didn't get time to kayak, which we regret not doing, will have to go back! Thank you for a lovely stay, we feel refreshed

Pataua - A Piece of Paradise!

Such a fantastic location, where you can bliss out staying at the property or go adventuring at local beaches, kayak the river, bush walk or use as a home base to travel a little further North. The property has everything you need for your stay and obviously the pool and hot tub are highlights, but so is the view, the bush and the abundance of serenity.

We had a great time at Sea Views Pataua. Hosts very responsive and helpful. House well set up. We kayaked, swam in the pool, and the ocean a short drive away, and loved the hot tub. Table tennis was fun. Great food platters at Tahi Cafe.

A beautiful and peaceful getaway

My family and I really enjoyed our stay over Christmas, it was a great place to relax. It's a gorgeous location with a great view from the pool and hot tub and the hosts were super communicative and happy to help with anything we needed. Only recommendation would be to bring your sun umbrella if you want to enjoy outdoor dining.

Walk, soak and relax

Nice serene location. A good bush walk on the property then into the pool and hot tub. A lot of native wildlife. Saw our first native NZ praying mantis. Maria and Scott were great with any help we needed and telling us about the area. Didn't get to use the kayaks as the weather was rough. Inside the house you could hardly tell it was windy and it had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves.

Nice but not quite what we expected

Photos were lovely on the listing but didn't really show the whole picture. Lovely location and looks great driving up to to the house. The house is nice; not really cosy, but clean and contained good amenities including heat pump; and beds were comfy! The pool is a good size but is in the middle of the grass with a moveable ladder for access. Wood-fired hot tub looked great in photos; is tucked in amongst natural surrounds so private, but is also accessed from house across grass. Sadly the weather was bad for all but 2 days of our stay so we didn't utilise it (even though hosts kindly offered to fire it up for us several times). Bikes were available, but we couldn't find helmets. Kayaks were also available and the hosts were wonderful with their repeated offers to transport them to the estuary for us. The listing said kayaks could be launched across road from the end of the driveway, but did not mention the driveway was around 900 metres of metal road. Goats were very cute and entertaining! We couldn't fault the helpfulness, hospitality and friendliness of the hosts however the property we felt was oversold on the listing.

Beautiful escape from everything!

A great sized pool for the four of us to play in! The ping pong table in the kitchen was a fun addition! The communication with Maria was great and our two boys loved the chance to feed the baby goats. Size and cleanliness of the property was as advertised. Maria was on hand to organise the hot tub which was a lovely addition to the stay. We ended up taking the car to the beach on a few occasions and enjoyed paddling with the rays! We were grateful of the prior communication to stock up on food before arrival as the location is very remote.

Extremely remote and far from amenities in the area. Ideal if you want seclusion and quiet. Not so great if you're looking to be close to amenities that would be most often used by families with kids. Hosts are very comprehensive in communication.

Such stunning views and location

We absolutely loved our stay here. So much to offer with kayaking, swimming pool, sun loungers, hot tub and nearby the beach is beautiful and an estuary for a change to the surf. There’s a lovely cafe nearby that does the best ice creams. Hosts are lovely. This place is such a gem and wouldn’t disappoint. Something to offer for all ages.

Lovely getaway

Loved the property, with the hottub an added bonus. The river was awesome for kayaking and paddle-boarding with the nearby beach (10 minute drive) perfect for swimming and surfing. The rural setting allowed us to disconnect from the rest of the world although you still had the creature comforts that teens require. We will definitely be going back during the summer months. The hosts were very helpful and accommodating with any requests that we did have. Overall a wonderful long weekend was had by our family

The location is very beautiful, could not be better! But the house is not quite the standard we are used to. The kitchen is poorly equipped, the oven does not work properly, only one frying pan. The size of the living room is small, wheras the kitchen is huge.

Beautiful location

This is a great place to stay - we had a few hiccups but Maria was quick to sort . - she also went out of her way to make sure we had a great time with helping Alan take a trip through the estuary , and introduced us to the goats and gave us heaps of advice about the area. A truly lovely lady - and the position of this property is exceptional- it is a steep driveway especially with a caravan on but we made it up ok. The best bit is definitely the outdoor hot tub which is a dream - and we had so much fun in the pool. Some things which could be improved for the next visitor s are a new can opener -, more coat hangers and an extra pillow - also , there was not a single roasting dish to be found. We had the caravan with us so we used all our gear when we didn't have what we needed- and under the dishwasher and oven was dirty and by the washing machine was lots of old powder from the machine moving - we understand that this was the first let for the property in a while - In fairness any problem we had was sorted straight away by Maria - extremely helpful and kind to us - as soon as I asked a mop was provided - and I'm sure she would be that way with any reasonable requirements- thanks Maria and Scott.
