Bush clad oasis in the heart of Paihia

This early New Zealand design home is set in a quiet bush clad private location in central Paihia. It is just 7 minutes walk from main the beautiful Paihia beaches, the wharf where boat trips leave from and there are bars, restaurants and cafes, as well as the town centre where there are supermarkets, a bakery, takeaways, book shops, tourist shops and more. Leave the car at home and walk to the beach, your boat trip or town, avoiding pricey parking in town! The driveway is a bit steep (most of Paihia's homes are set on hills) so you'll be ready to have a drink and relax when you get home.

3 beautifully renovated bedrooms make up the top floor of this family holiday home, with another bedroom located downstairs. All linen is provided- crisp white sheets and linen duvets give a luxury beach vibe. Beach towels are also provided at no extra cost so no need to worry about bringing your own! There are two new bathrooms making the home comfortable for up to 6 people to stay. Both bathrooms have large walk in showers. One of the bathrooms has a washing machine and dryer in it for you to use at no extra charge. Washing powder is provided and there is a clothesline out the back or a drying wrack inside.

The combined kitchen/dining is great for the whole family to socialise and cook together. It also leads out onto the wrap around veranda where you can relax in the sun on the outdoor couch and listen to the Tuis in the native bush. The kitchen is very well equipped so it really feels like your home away from home.
The lounge space has a large comfy couch and Smart TV. Wireless internet works well throughout the house so you can relax and enjoy or even work remotely.

Just lovely - comfortable and cosy, had everything we could have wanted, including a great shower, so important! We arrived late at night amid pouring rain and it was easy to find and get in, which was such a relief! Everything was clean and tidy and just really inviting, we totally understood how it has such a high rating - very deserved!

Lovely, well equipped, clean and well located home

A very well equipped kitchen in a spacious lounge/kitchen/dining room welcomed us to this 4 bed, supercomfy place.It's super well located, just 10mins walk from the pier.The beds are very comfy and although we were staying in the middle of winter, the aircon unit in the living room plus electric radiator made everything nice and warm for our stay. The 2 bathrooms with washing machine and dryer were also very new with great water pressure and no issues with a lack of hot water.We'd try to stay here again if we return in the future!

Perfect in Paihia

We had an amazing stay in Paihia and found ourselves perfectly situated for everything that we wanted to do. It was just a short walk into town, so everything is practically on your doorstep, and yet you are surrounded by bush and birds! The house is very well set up with all the amenities you could need - and friendly neighbours to boot! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or to return, I wish we'd stayed longer.

Great family home

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy, yet spacious family vacation home. All the amenities you could ask for - a well stocked kitchen, large dining table, lots of beds, renovated bathrooms, a big deck, and parking. We had access to the museum, great restaurants, and beaches. Thanks for sharing your comfortable home with us!

Gorgeous home to stay in Paihia

Whole family loved our stay in this beautiful home. Was so nice we decided to grab supplies at supermarket and use the bbq on veranda to cook dinner. Short walk to centre of town and ferry. Host was fabulous - had great taste in coffee and vineyard trip recommendations too.

Pretty and peaceful cottage

A gorgeous cottage. The outdoor couch on the deck was a lovely, shady place for an afternoon nap. The bush setting was beautiful. We listened to tuis in the day and moreporks at night. There are neighbours on either side but it still feels secluded.
