The apartment is really well located just a few minutes walk from the restaurants and shops in Paihia. Indeed, after quite a long drive from Tairua, we loved being able to leave the car at the apartment and see everything on foot or by boat. The view from the kitchen area is spectacular. It is well equipped for a short stay (though cooking facilities are a little limited) with a very comfortable bed and a good shower. With no AC, however, we had to keep the windows open in the evening to keep it cool which had consequences in terms of mosquitoes - repellent only worked to an extent.
