This property is outstanding on all fronts. The hosts, Kay and Wayne are very welcoming, leave you to your privacy but are on hand if needed. They allowed us to check in early and check out late. The property is even better than the photos. No expense is spared on furninishings and it has everything you will need. It is located perfectly, just ten mins from the town and very quiet. We explored the area and some of the islands. It's stunning and we cannot wait to return!

Gorgeous!

We loved this property! Perfect mix of beautiful views and outdoor space, and a feeling on homeliness and coziness. Kay’s communication was excellent and we were allowed to check in early which was amazing. Everything was so clean and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils. It’s not quite in the centre of Paihia, but the walk there is short and scenic. I would highly recommend this property!!

We stayed at this lovely home during Cyclone Tam. If you have to be storm stayed, this is the place to do it. Lovely, clean, well appointed, and spacious with incredible views. Host was so kind and even brought us a portable stove during power outage. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect rental home in Paihia!!

From the moment we arrived my husband & I knew the home would be perfect. The views are magnificent. Location is excellent. We walked everywhere including to the grocery store, restaurants & shops. You just need a car for excursions. The beach at the bottom of the hill is lovely for swimming The home is so clean, organized & comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked & there are plenty of towels & linens. We met the owner Kay upon arrival & her hospitality was superb! We felt this was our home away from home. It was sad to leave & we’d go back in a heartbeat. We’ve been renting homes through VRBO for over 20 years & we were so happy with this one!!

Incredible view, great location

Kay’s place is awesome! The view cannot be beat, the entire place is meticulously clean, and the couches/beds are very comfortable. We had a relaxing week at Kay’s, and we loved staying within walking distance to town, the beach, and the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Never used the kayaks, but we appreciated having plenty of towels for the beach or bath. Also, the kitchen included all of the cooking supplies we needed, and the BBQ was spotless (as well as the whole house). We were in NZ for 5 weeks, and this definitely was our top place. Thank you, Kay!

Fabulous accommodation and location

We spent 3 nights here to unwind a bit after a two week hiking trip of the South Island. We could not have picked a better place. It had everything we needed. Amazing views from all the rooms and we never even used the car. Walked all over, to Paihia and the ferry to Russell. Even walked to the Treaty Grounds for the tour. Kay was very welcoming when we arrived and it was so private we never saw them again. I highly recommend this property.

Lovely house in perfect location

My husband and I and our two 10 year old daughters went to Paihia for three nights and Kay’s place was perfect. Plenty of room, cozy, super clean and amazing views. The location is perfect, an easy walk to Countdown, shops, restaurants and the pier and an easy drive to Waitangi, the Russell car ferry and nearby towns. Unfortunately we didn’t cross paths with Kay but all communication was clear and timely. Highly recommend and would definitely return.

Stay here you won’t regret it!

This apartment was spotlessly clean. It was beautifully decorated and well equipped with everything that you would need. Dishes, towels, bedding. It has a large soaking tub and large shower. Easy walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Also a short walk to the beach. It even has kayaks for guest use. The hosts are helpful and they answered questions quickly. Everything sounds good right? But wait there’s more. The view is amazing! The front part of the apartment is all windows with views of crystal clear blue water, islands and the beach. It is especially beautiful at sunrise, but there is no bad time for this view. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. 5 stars. Highly recommended.

Summer Break

We enjoyed the beautiful views, and the well-equipped apartment. We were disappointed not to have air conditioning in the bedroom, though the fan was helpful. The parking would be a bit tight for larger cars.

Best rental property ever

This was the most beautiful, comfortable and clean rental we could have asked for; when we walked into the living room, we literally gasped at the stunning view. It's even more beautiful than the pictures show. Kay thought of everything we might need. Lots of soft linens and towels, the kayaks which we took on some great adventures with access right down the street, good quality kitchen supplies, complimentary milk and coffee, games, TV and strong wifi, it goes on. The beds were very comfortable and it was nice to have the kids' room down the hallway for some privacy. It's a gorgeous 10 minute beach walk into town with restaurants, ice cream and a small grocery store and shopping, and a 2 minute drive to a bigger grocery store. There's a playground at the beach in front of the house. We cooked most nights on the BBQ and ate out on the deck overlooking the ocean. The view from the primary bedroom is amazing, what a way to wake up! The location within Piahia is perfect, a bit away from the town and off of the main road, but close enough to walk most places you wanted to be. 10/10 Kay, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!
