We loved our stay at Serena’s. Nestled in a bush setting but with an amazing ocean view over the treetops. Sitting in the spa overlooking the water at dusk was the perfect way to finish the day! We enjoyed drinks, dinners and breakfasts on the large deck and the bbq is in great condition and clean. Although the house is in a beautiful quite peaceful area, it’s only a short drive to beaches and the little town of Paihia. We found it to be the perfect position. Serena is great with communicating and check in is easy with a key lockbox. There are also bikes, a kayak and a wii which we didn’t have to time to use but would great for young families. We highly recommend this property.
