Pros: Cute place. Very comfortable bed. Very close to town Cons: Communicating with the owner was a little difficult. Place was very cold. The heat did not work right away, but was plenty warm when we returned the following afternoon.

Nice place to stay
Nice and cozy place for a solo or a couple. A car would be recommended as it is not walkable to many of the places you may wish to go, although taxis are easy to get and affordable. Very clean and I enjoyed the back deck.

We enjoyed 5 days here and we were very comfortable. It was a short walk to Paihia along the beach if the tide was low enough. The bach was well equipped and we cooked meals on a couple of occasions.

Lovely place
The batch is lovely, easy to find and to access. Nice walk up and down the hill to Paihia center. The place has all the commodities needed and a very nice interior design touch. The only downside was the proximity with neighbours who like to play loud music in the morning.

Got Everything You Need
It's got everything you need: good bed, full kitchen with all the utensils you need, bathroom with everything, heaps of towels, and outdoor area to chill. It's not central Paihia, so it's more peaceful, but so close as well, plus close to Opua, where you can take car ferries. It's very near a beach where you can collect so many Pipis. It's very quirky inside and there's some games and many movies to watch.
