The owners were amazing! There was a power cut in town so I couldn’t get any food. All businesses were shut. Jane cooked some pasta for me and made sure I had a camping stove, torches and candles and anything I needed. I was so grateful. The property is amazing! Clean, tidy and all the amenities you could want. So much attention to detail down to phone charging points and lights that switch on when you walk in the door. The view was amazing and easy access to the beach too. Highly recommend.

A special place

We loved staying at Waimiro. It’s far from the busy street yet close enough to walk. The view is a constant at delight - across the sea to other islands. Very comfortable and the hosts were most helpful. But the unit is small - with a kitchenette … in winter if it’s raining be aware that you will have limited space..- the setting makes up for much!

Idyllic

A delightful place to stay. Very clean and restful with lovely views and short easy walk to the beach. The large deck provides great outdoor living space. Even though it is a unit attached to the main house, it is private and quiet. Owners are friendly and helpful if anything is needed.

Gorgeous beachfront property!

This was my first stop on a whirlwind tour of New Zealand in celebration of my 60th birthday and it could not have been more perfect. The property is absolutely beautiful with an unbelievable view of both the ocean and the night sky. It is very well maintained, sparklingly clean, and Jane was a very thoughtful and available host who made the extra effort to inquire as to what type of milk we preferred so she could leave a bottle in the fridge. She also left a lovely bottle of champagne for us to celebrate with! The front porch is even more beautiful in person than it shows in the pics online, with a double day bed to lounge in while looking at the ocean or the night sky. Absolutely perfect all the way around!

A great little gem in Paihia

Jane and Dave were wonderful hosts and did everything possible to go out of their way to make our stay great - and a bonus they have a gorgeous little dog! It’s really close to town,has everything you need and has a wonderful view. We really loved the quality of the bed linen, great touch :). The only minor negatives- 1. The deck catches the afternoon wind, which meant we weren’t able to sit out there like we’d have liked too. 2. It’s well furnished but it does make the room a little cramped - but moving bits out of the way helped with that :) Would definitely stay again!
