We rented a 2 bed apartment and it was fabulous. Very spacious with great kitchen and washer and dryer. Nice toiletries. Very clean. Easy walking distance to the restaurants and supermarket and a stones throw from the beach.

Just outside the main strip of Paihia which was perfect for a quieter stay - but still right across the road from a beautiful beach. Very accommodating and helpful staff at reception. Small supérette two doors down. Might suggest walking to town during busy times or if a cruise ship is in.

Friendly reception staff, who made us feel very welcome. My partner likes her coffee strong and they were very accommodating with a couple of extra bags of plunger coffee. Our room was very smart, clean and tidy. I would absolutely stay here again.

Friendly and helpful staff. Good location facing the beach, easily walkable to Paihia town and wharf, also Whitangi Treaty Grounds. On the downside, some noise from the petrol station adjacent to the property. The room was well-equipped, and daily room servicing was excellent. However, the room fixtures and fittings e.g. wooden tables, chairs, kitchen units, bathroom sink, shower unit are showing their age, scuffed and looking well-worn. As it stands, it offers fair value for money, but it would benefit from a makeover.

A nice property just a short walk out of town from Paihia hub. Units are comfortable with everything you really need. At the end of the driveway is the beach and a beautiful outlook to the Bay of Islands. There is a small dairy (store) right next door and a lovely cafe next to that. Good location, very close to Waitangi Treaty Grounds too and the Mountain Bike Park.

Don’t book for more than two people.

Booked a room for three. Only a bed for two was prepared despite paying and booking for three. The sofa bed which can hardly be named a bed (I felt only the construction and no mattress!) had dirty sheets. At the reception they told us the third person was expected to stay in the double bed with the two people. Absolutely rude and no free one person night was provided. At least new sheets were provided but only the next day. Also it’s next to a gas station, don’t recommend staying there.

A little Tired

I had stayed in the property a few years ago. It is tired . It needs a freshening up. Things like scratched frying pan, dirty glasses in the bath for which they had no replacement, a very small tv which was hard to see tucked in by the fridge and had virtually no channels to choose from.

Great place - we got the 2 bedroom suite. The balcony view was amazing, the kitchen with a full sized fridge freezer was very useful to us as we were travelling with kids. The beds were comfortable and the parking below was very easy to use. The suites are almost on the beach, a 1 min walk away from the playground and a takeaway, 3 mins walk to the woolworths and a 3 minute drive away from the other cafes, restaurants and the ferry. The only thing that would have pushed this to a full 5* review would be the property condition. While it was otherwise completely fine and generally clean, the windows and shower grout could have used some more attention. Otherwise a great stay for a milestone celebration vacation (with kids).

I found the unit clean on the bottom level, however outside was a little overgrown and forgotten about, just a quick tidy of garden and wipe down of the table would encourage one to enjoy a read or relax for each unit. The garage workshop was a touch noisy at times opposite our rooms 104 & 105 when my sick uncle wanted to rest, but we went out the following day to counteract that.

Enjoyable & comfortable stay

We had a very good 4 night stay. We had a self contained room facing the beach which was great. It is located about 600m from the main area of town but handy to a Woolworths. Plenty of free on-site parking is available and the staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms and facilities are a bit dated now but overall very comfortable.
