Greg - Thanks for a great stay!
This beautiful home is a great base for you to explore the Bay of Islands area. When you first enter the family room/kitchen area you are greeted with an amazing view of the coast and you enjoy this gorgeous view throughout your stay, master bedroom included. We spent our afternoons in the Infiniti pool relaxing from a day of hiking/exploring. In the evenings we enjoyed watching movies in the living room. It's just a few blocks(short drive) from downtown Paihia and we enjoyed going there for our breakfasts and dinners. (Although the house has a very well equipped kitchen if you decide to cook.) It was really nice to be able to do our laundry here before we continued with our journey. Our friend who traveled with us, and who normally stays in hotel rooms, was so amazed by your beautiful home, and that this is the way we like to travel with our kids.
