Perfect location, beautiful home
Such a lovely home, with a bathroom for every bedroom and a beautiful deck out front with a view of the water. The only note I have is that it’s not super clear which front entrance is which (the home is split in to 2 rentals), so we almost walked in to the wrong home. Otherwise, wonderful stay and lovely hosts!

Family Vacation
We had a great time and this house was perfect for our needs, located in a great area, close to everything you could need. The owner was there when needed, but otherwise left us to our own. If you are looking for a house in a great location with the comforts of home this is the spot.

Great location- bathrooms galore!
Loved our stay here, great walkable location! Having FOUR bathrooms was lovely for our group, patio was delightful to enjoy and morning coffee or afternoon glass. Only small issue we found was that the air conditioner didn’t cool the home very well. It’s tucked into a back corner that did not circulate throughout the home.

Fantastic Labour Weekend Stay in Paihia
Nice house overlooking Paihia. So close to town and has everything you need to relax and enjoy the sun. We filled out the four bedrooms with our group of 9. Perfect for our extended family to stay together. Big common area with longue/dinning/kitchen right by the deck. Three of the bedrooms had their own bathrooms which was great. And when we needed some extra towels, just texted Robert and we got them quick. Perfect base camp for us to go visit friends up in Kerikeri and take the car ferry over to Russel. Thanks!

Great stay, there were 8 of us and it wasn’t over crowded, but nice that we all had a communal space as well individual space. Town very close and supermarket etc. We didn’t want or need for anything more, everything was at the house. Would stay again.

This place was comfortable and perfectly located for our family. Great for intergenerational families given the bedroom/bathroom set up. Good laundry facilities for young families. Extra warm, nice bedding, comfy couches, even lock up outdoor space for a small dog, space for everyone. Look forward to booking again in future
