Fantastic view over the bay all the way across to Russell, with spectacular sunrises.
Excellent location from which to access Paihia waterfront activities, restaurants, bars and shops.
Definitely ticks the box for "retro" with furniture and appliances that would have been 'cutting edge' in the early 70s. The DIY nature of the original fit-out is certainly 'quirky' - don't miss the custom chopping board!
If you're not already familiar with the (in)famous Paihia water you'll probably want to stock up on bottled water for drinking - geosmin is harmless but it's very much an acquired taste.
