Paihia Paradise

This property managed to accomodate a large group of adults with a mix of couples and singles. The location was great and the property did mostly deliver. I think a bit more thought to the number of towels provided for a week of stay plus a more well equipped kitchen could have warranted a gold star rating.

We had a wonderful stay, my only complaint would be that the single beds downstairs probably need new mattresses. The driveway is a bit steep but you get wonderful views.

Family holiday

Disappointingly, this expensive property did not live up to our expectations.Pluses were: location, generous help from the neighbour, when the property manager was out of townNegatives were: driveway (very difficult access), non-functioning internet (without the neighbour we would have not had Wifi access), no broom to sweep the floors, a BBQ that had not been cleaned for a long time and was very difficult to start.Overall, I rate this property as marginally good, when our expectation was excellent given the cost.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Apr 2025
This stay was a challenge, didn't supply preferred bedding layouts until last minute and got upset with me for repeatedly requesting these details so I could organise the cleaners. He then wanted an early check-in in the morning so we scheduled extra cleaners to accomodate. they then turned up late evening. He had to be helped by my mother who lives next door to operate the lock box / internet login, Start BBQ which was cleaned / not dirty as suggested. He got agitated with my mother, when she was trying to help him with what should be simple tasks. All of the above were operating correctly as far as we could tell and have been since. Very disappointing behaveour and hurtful after trying so hard to accomodate him. On the positive side they did respect the property and left it relatively clean.

Spacious, lovely bush setting

A great base for exploring the Bay of Islands. Comfy beds and plenty of space. Enjoyed the outdoor deck overlooking the bay. Convenient walk to restaurants and wharf. Property manager was helpful & we appreciated being able to check in slightly earlier. The property was generally well equipped and clean but we thought there were some areas which needed maintenance/cleaning. The Property manager was very receptive to feedback however. Overall would highly recommend this as we had a fabulous stay.

Absolutely beautiful!

We had an absolute fabulous time! Group of 9 ladies from all around NZ catching up for the 25th year somewhere we haven't stayed together. The house was perfect. Beds were split to singles and everything was spotlessly clean. View was gorgeous from house and spa. With a short walk thru native track down to the waterfront to cafes, restaurant & liquor store. Thank you very much.

About the host

Hosted by Mike1978

Host profile image
We are a kiwi family that love the outdoors, nature and time on the water.
Our property is a reflection of this, and we love to see our guests enjoying the same.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property because of its unique geographic position, views and surrounding native forest reserve.
We then Built a purpose designed house to take advantage of the natural surroundings creating a private secluded feel and at the same time maximise our holiday accomodation experience.

What makes this property unique

This is a very unique property it feels secluded, like you are living in a forest overlooking the sea. But you are geographically in the very hart of the town and only minutes walk from everything paihia has to offer.
