From the cottage to the host we could not have asked for anything better.The owner goes out of her way to ensure that your stay is great. She goes above and beyond even to the extent of offering a wash and dry service for your clothes at a very minimal cost.She goes the extra mile.Friendly and very welcoming.Highly reccommend to all.

Perfect location

We parked right next to our accommodation and then walked everywhere we needed to go. Super easy! The stand alone cabin had everything we needed and we enjoyed the patio for morning coffee, too. Definitely recommend.

Everything we needed

the cozy cottage lived up to its name and was everything we needed for a 2 night stay in Paihia. lovely pictures and historic photos of Paihia. Easy walking distance to the shops even in heavy wind and rain. Really enjoyed listening to the birds in the morning and raindrops on the roof. Will be back in summer so we can wander down to the beach!

Bay of Islands Ideal Stay

The cottage, location, and host were all perfect. This is a SUPERB Paihia Place to stay. Close to everything (walkable) but just up the street far enough to be very quiet and restful after a day exploring.

Great character location in Paihia

Lovely little cottage full of character. Very quiet but centrally located. Also nice and warm with the heater in May, and probably the most comfortable bed I've slept in apart from my own! Will definitely be looking to book here again the next time we come. Recommended.
