Great place to use as a base to explore Paihia and the surrounding area with or without a car. For example it was only a 35 minute walk to the wonderful Waitangi Museum and treaty grounds unless you stop for a coffee on the way! Also a great place to come back to at the end of the day. It was lovely to be able to sit outside in the evening and watch the sun go down. Lots of hot water for a shower too. Craig was really friendly when we arrived and gave us some handy info about places to eat. We will definitely be back.
