The Pirate's Rest, a tiny home by the beach.

The Pirate's Rest is a beautifully designed tiny bach, just a 100m stroll from the stunning Pauanui beach. Enjoy sea views to the Alderman Islands from inside or while relaxing at your personal slab bar on the wraparound deck.

This bach features an open-plan living area, one bedroom, and a bunk pod, making it perfect for couples or a small family (2 adults and 2 children) looking to experience unique off-grid living. You're also within walking distance of playgrounds, a boat ramp, a supermarket, and local restaurants.
