Great spot
Very good.Location excellent.Comfortable house.Pricing very reasonable.A source of minor annoyance was that the owners were still at the property well after agreed check-in time,requiring us to wait in the car on the road untill they left.Also they later returned to the house. On balance we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this listing. Alan J.

Great family space with beautiful garden and deck area with hammocks that were enjoyed immensely. Loads of books, toys for the 3 year old. excellent kitchen, very well equipped. Will very likely make a return trip as the area is full of historical significance and plenty more to see.

Lovely place to stay
Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home. The property was situated close to Paihia and the garden provided a lovely setting for an easter egg hunt for the kids. Our daughter was particularly enamoured with the fish in the pond.

Best place to stay in the north
This was such a great place to stay in Paihia. It was a cozy, bright, and welcoming house in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the beautiful Bay of Islands. The yard and surrounding forest made the place feel like you were miles away from everything. Thanks for letting us stay at your place!

Good but bad
The stay started of good then second day owner came over and in the time we were there he must have come over at least 5 more time which made our stay uncomfortable. We had rented this batch for 2 weeks the owners should have stayed away for that time. Also there were a lot of ants all over the bench's that needed cleaning up each day .
