Paku Lodge Resort

Paku Lodge Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Our visit to Paku was amazing from the welcome on reception right to when we left. The room was very bright and light with wonderful views over the beach. The bed was really comfy. There were some lovely walks close by. There is a laundry room on site which was great as we’re travelling around. The kitchen had e everything you would need. Nothing was too much from the host very friendly, even lent us a spade for hot water beach. We would certainly recommend staying here and would certainly stay again if we were in the area."
