Excellent apartment amendments for our 5 day stay. Quiet, pretty grounds and free laundry.
A special call out for Jan. She is terrific.
Thank you, Jan!

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

Was great to stay here once again, this time with my family. Appreciate the friendly service and interaction with the property owner. Jan made us feel very welcome. Accomodation was very comfortable for my family.

Above & Beyond!
Posted 25 Aug 2022 on HotelsSpacious apartment in a lovely bush setting with native birdsong and everything you could need. But even greater than this was the care from Jan who well and trully stepped in to help when we had car problems. Above & beyond example of genuine human spirit and goodness. Thank you!
