A super little hideaway in a lovely quiet part of Paihia - close enough to the sea to be easy to get to, far away enough that it’s peaceful! Ali is a gracious host - came to meet me when I arrived, and was very welcoming.
Echoing previous comments, the walk back from the wharf is all uphill - can be a challenge when you’ve had a few wines! The curtains are not black out - if you prefer darkness you might struggle. Also the Wi-Fi struggles in places around the studio. Not a problem for me, as I was out and about mostly, but just in case someone needed it for work :)
A really lovely weekend getaway - I’d love to go back!
