It was like staying in a cabin in the bush. Quiet, spacious, private and shady with a well equipped kitchen, and a bbq on the balcony. Split level sleeping arrangement and large bathroom. Easy walk to the beach and into town. We’d stay there again.

A charming property with character, the setting and atmosphere made it an enjoyable stay. The host was helpful, friendly, and a pleasure to deal with throughout. A few areas could benefit from some attention to bring the property up to its full potential. The interior surfaces, particularly the ceiling and walls, would benefit from a clean and refresh. There was a faint smell of dampness, likely seasonal given the surrounding greenery and winter conditions. The deck area would feel more inviting with some pruning of the nearby trees to give you a view. These are minor points for what was otherwise a lovely retreat, and with a little maintenance, this property could really shine.

Jan met us on arrival, was super helpful and informative about the area during our 7 day stay, she even arranged a boat trip to Hole in the Rock with a discount. The apartment was small but adequate, in a lovely setting, seemed like we were in a tree house. Shared Washer/dryer is in a different building, but no problems. Refrigerator was tiny and upon arrival, freezer department was totally iced shut, this was remedied as soon as we mentioned it to Jan. Hot tub is available, but was dirty the first time we used it, and non-usable the second time we tried due to no water in the tub. This apartment is in a great location, 5 min walk to the grocery store, 15 min walk to the beach, and 25 min walk to the downtown area of this cute little village. A lovely beginning to our 2 month stay on the north island of NZ.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Amenities
Splashed out by booking an apartment for a 1 night stay because of the spa pool that was advertised, however, this was not available for use as it was turned off and cold - quite disappointing because this was the entire reason why we booked this property and we could have saved $120 ish by staying at one of the more central hotels in town. The room itself was quite nice - good facilities. Other things to keep in mind: 1. The cell phone reception is hit and miss and we were unable to find the wifi code so be sure to ask when checking in. 2. The bathroom roof also had some mould due to the lack of ventilation. 3. The reception lady/owner comes across a little rude but she means well.

We really enjoyed our time in this comfortable apartment, which was very well equipped and set in sub-tropical planting to give a wonderfully relaxed and private feel. Paihia was our first stop on a six week tour of NZ and this was the ideal place to unwind for a few days after a long and tiring journey from the UK The site manager, Jan, was friendly and helpful on arrival and throughout provided tips to help us make the most of our stay The location was perfect for us with just a short walk to the supermarket, beach and town. It is also just a short walk to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Our visit there to see the Māori cultural experience was a highlight and we went back for a second day (included in the price of the entry ticket). The staff were all super friendly and informative. Would also recommend taking the ferry over to Russell. The area around the ferry landing is pretty and has lots of options for a relaxing lunch overlooking the beach, but I would also suggest taking the 15 mins walk across to Long Beach, which is stunning. Also recommend visiting Otehei Bay on Urupukapuka Island, either as part of a boat trip around the islands or as a direct return ferry trip. I was very sceptical but the visit there was another highlight for us

We stayed in Apartment 3. The room was clean and spacious, but could do with some ventilation. There are windows and doors but during the night it was not feasible to have them open as insects would enter the apartment. But there are no other ventilation in the room and despite using the two fans provided, it was still quite stuffy in the room
