Grand Mercure Puka Park Resort: Back to nature but in 4 star luxury

Grand Mercure Puka Park Resort is located in bushland at the south of the residential beach township of Pauanui on a hill side overlooking the area. Accommodation chalets are dotted through the bush on the hill side - two units per building.
Access is gained by steps and paths built into the hillside radiating from the main reception/bar/dining/function room building and a loop road that gives automobile access to most of the units.
Quality of rooms and amenities is first class.
The service from reception staff was outstanding. After parking our car in a common parking area, we were driven on the loop road close to our unit and all of our luggage was carried for us to the room.
We chose Pauanui as home base for a two day exploration of Coromandel Peninsula and found the location served well. Can not fault the resort other than the fact those with a mobility problem would have to book a unit with road access at the door rather than have to use the steps and paths.

There is a swimming pool, sauna and spar plus tennis courts and bicycles and helmets for guest use.
The most outstanding feature of the resort is the bush land location with private accommodation set amongst the trees. see 2nd photo.
We were impressed with the dining room. Food, service and ambiance was excellent.
