Well located house - within a short walk (300m) of Paihia wharf and village. Hosts friendly and communicated well. The house is of an older style, but spacious and clean. Lovely large deck with a BBQ and partial views of the beach front.

Perfect location & facilities.

Fabulous spot for our group - 8 women all converging on Paihia to help celebrate my 70th birthday. Great deck for socialising; lovely big kitchen & lounges. Beds very comfy, & our group appreciated the 3 bathrooms.

Host was very obliging and location was great.House was lacking in some basics eg paper towels, toiletries, mosquito repellant. You couldn't enjoy the spacious deck because the mosquitoes were so bad.

Location and space- awesome

Hosts were great and welcoming. Space was great for our large group - extra bathroom upstairs a real bonus. Felt clean and comfortable and had all the facilities we needed - special bonus is that Chester and Lou own the amazing JFC restaurant next door. Best seafood in the area I reckon and reasonably priced. Thank you so much

Location Amazing

We were in Paihia for the Jazz and Blues festival and had 7 people staying in the house. Plenty of room for all of us. Great social spaces for hanging out. Great location as we could walk into town. We were all very happy with our stay. Would love to have had the opportunity to cook and dine around the lovely dining table but we were out and about enjoying the festival. Next time.

Family reunion in Paihia

We really enjoyed our stay at this property in Paihia. We had 10 of our family stay they with ages ranging from 7 to 84 years old. Plenty of space for everyone. Nice comfortable living kitchen and sleeping area... Communication leading up to and during our stay was great. Messages were answered promptly as was any action required. Hand on heart only a couple very minor things missing in the kitchen like oven mits, tin foil and knives presharpenned. Again minor... only thing annoying was the element / hob was quite weak. 9.5 out of 10

Bayswater in Paihia

Just the best spot in Paihia, right in the heart but feels private. Perfectly suited our needs as we were working but would definitely come back for a more relaxing break. The kitchen, dining and deck area is great for large groups and hosts very accomodating.
