The Sorting Hat - Pauanui Holiday Home
Situated in a prime location at the northern end of Pauanui, you’re just moments from the boat ramp, beach, and estuary — ideal for making the most of the coastal lifestyle.
Downstairs, open-plan living combines the lounge, dining, and kitchen areas into a cosy and inviting space. Curl up with a book, stream your favourite shows on the Chromecast-enabled TV, or simply gaze out the windows for a spot of stargazing at night.
The fully fenced courtyard offers peace of mind for families with children and pets, providing a safe and secure space to relax and play. On balmy summer evenings, fire up the BBQ and enjoy a classic Kiwi meal around the outdoor picnic table.
Sleeping arrangements are as unique as the home itself. Enjoy open-plan sleeping areas on each level for a more sociable, airy layout instead of fully enclosed rooms. Stairs to the second level take you to a queen and single bed, while a ladder to the third level leads to the very top point of The Sorting Hat — a king bed with a truly magical view.
A washing machine, iron, and ironing board provide convenience for longer stays, while off-street parking adds extra ease for you and your guests. Pleasant Point boat ramp is conveniently close by, with ample parking for cars and boats, and you’re less than a 20-minute walk to local shops, cafés, and Royal Billy Point.
Whether you’re here to launch the boat, hit the beach, or simply unwind in a special setting, The Sorting Hat offers a rustic yet comfortable escape in the heart of Pauanui. Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
