Fun quirky cottage

We enjoyed our stay... listing was as described.. the cottage was super clean and comfy.. we loved all the quirky little touches to the home decor... Just wish there was a little more privacy out the back..There was a security camera on the deck and when you open the curtains the neighbours can see right in... other than that it was perfect for what we needed.. thank you for having us...

Great little Bach!

This small quirky little Bach was clean and had a well stocked kitchen. Very close to town, only a 5 minute drive from the little shops and from the harbour where you can get on numerous tours. Only complaint was that we had no communication with the owner. Checkin instructions on the app worked well. Didn’t know what to do with garbage or dirty towels. So we just left them. Regardless would recommend this as a place to stay during your visit to Paihia.

Cute but musty

The bungalow was cute and clean inside with modern décor, but unfortunately there was a terrible smell of musty almost like a moldy smell. We did have doors and windows open to air out, but as soon as it was shut up, the odor came back. We also found the bed quite uncomfortable. We were unsure about the parking, as the space we assumed was ours to use next to the bungalow and in front of the fence designating the back yard was used by some others when we had gone out on a couple of occassions.

newly done up, everything you need

We stayed here during dreadful weather, rain, wind and flooding. The house was great; we had everything we needed. When the weather finally improved, we loved the outdoor area. Will stay again.

Great stay in a little bay

A cute cottage,It is packed alongside similar cottages, so while you have a standard high fence it does leave some privacy to be desired. House was spotless with everything we needed. Great place would go again
