The front of the house is spectacular - great view of the bay and spacious deck! We enjoyed many mornings and evenings there. The location was good - walking distance to restaurants and the wharf / ferry. It’s not a huge house, but 7 of us were comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay in Paihia!

Awesome, thanks for the feedback Jayne! Sounds like you enjoyed the house. Hope to see you again soon.
A beautiful, well appointed beach house right across the road from the beach!! The owners have thought of everything. Games for the kids, a fully equipped kitchen, tastefully decorated. There was even a Christmas tree which was a nice surprise 😊. We will definitely book again!
We stayed here for 4 short nights, wish we had longer. Paihia is a lovely township & the property is easy walking distance to everything you need. Waitangi is close by & worth the visit. Cape Reinga a big day trip but doable. Loved being across the road from the beach & hearing the waves in the night. Would love to visit again & stay longer to enjoy more of the surroundings.
The place is beautiful, clean and tidy. The Bach Manager is very helpful and accommodating. No problem checking in and out of the property. Overall a very good holiday.

Lovely home with Paihia's biggest tree in the front yard
Lovely home with Paihia's biggest tree in the front yard. View of the sea and surf, walking distance to the wharf ferry, restaurants and shopping. There was a bit of noise at night maybe from a couple blocks away, but nothing that would deter us from staying here again. Perfect space for our group of 5 women to each have our own comfy bed, well equipped kitchen, 2 toilets and showers. Thanks to Stacey property mgr for helping us feel at home!

Fantastic location, right next to a beach - just a road separating it.
Fantastic location, right next to a beach - just a road separating it. Beach fab for swimming and has diving raft. Property contains everything needed for a comfortable stay. Some reviews complained about noise. I heard a little in the early hours but I'm a light sleeper. Husband and kids slept very well. Would definitely stay again. If I'm being picky, the tap water tasted of chlorine but it was like that in the area. It may be just different to UK. Plenty to do in Pahia. Loved it. Sad to go!

Fantastic property, perfect location and a great space for 6 adults and a toddler.
Fantastic property, perfect location and a great space for 6 adults and a toddler. Had everything we needed, and we loved BBQing on the front deck looking out at the sea!
The only drawback was the noise at night time, because it is on the main road opposite the beach there were parties across the road every night until 4am, and drag races down the road throughout the night. Something to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper!
