Had such an amazing time in Paihia, staying at the Retreat only made it better. Only a 5 minute drive out of town, with the most amazing view, the pictures are true, it really is that good, private parking space, and your own little balcony. The unit was perfect, had anything you would need. When I arrived, Marcel was very helpful, even booked me on a boat trip for the next day and recommended some lovely places to eat. Only tip I would say is be careful leaving the windows and doors open as lots of bugs about, but that can't be helped. Absolutely lovely, wish I could've stayed longer!
