Location is a little out of town but only about a short walk away. It is in a sunny spot, but there is some road noise as it's near a junction although most of the time this isn't an issue. It's about a 5 min or less walk to the beach and about a 15 min walk/short drive to the Treaty Grounds or similar in opposite direction to town. Owners were very friendly and knowledgeable about places to visit in the area. Very spacious room Great shower Loads of kitchen equipment if needed

The courtyard has an amazing hot rock sauna and outdoor shower absolutely stunning views from the beachfront balcony although it rained and tgat made it very slippery and as it had no cover we were getting soaked to have a cigarette, first world problems I know but that’s how it was haha! Theo is an amazing host and can’t do enough for you! The drive down is a bit hairy but Theo was there with his little buggy to guide and then deliver the luggage as the carpark is the next level up! Extremely well appointed kitchen and loads of towels, robes and a lovely fireplace and sitting room! Walking into town on the beach was beautiful but the walk to the beach from the house is very steep and not for those of us who are a bit disabled and or scared of heights lol so, I suggest walking straight ahead on the path Theo goes to the beach in the buggy on, better still, ask him to drive you in the buggy! Can’t rave enough about what an amazing time we had there, the hole in the rock cruise or bay of islands cruise is a must as it’s an amazing history lesson on top of the incredible scenery

Very helpful and friendly hosts. They provided lots of much appreciated extras such as coffee, milk, a fruit bowl, beer …. They offered us use of their hot tub and gave us lots of advice on where to go, where to eat etc. The house is about a 15 minute walk from the Paihia pier. We had no problem with this walk but there is a good hill from the waterfront to the house. Bob was very kind and offered to come and get us in town if we didn’t have energy for the walk. We really enjoyed our stay here and we highly recommend it!

    Perfect location, quiet but overlooking the front with great views over the bay. Also close to shops and restaurants. A lovely welcome from Kirstine, who then helped us charge our ev overnight. An older style motel but very clean, fresh and kept stylishly up to date. Will stay there again and be recommending to friends.
