The popular beachside location of Pauanui (NZUN) on the eastern coast of the Coromandel Peninsula receives a population explosion over the festive season and those with holiday homes escape their normal routines. The property development has at its central point a grass airstrip 782m long by 54m wide and is bordered by a number of dwellings featuring their own hangar space. In addition to the resident aircraft at Pauanui, the airstrip's proximity to the beach, a golf course and small shopping complex with coffee shop etc makes it a very attractive drop-in spot for visiting aircraft.
