This is the most wonderful peaceful, beautiful forest location - sitting on the decking listening to the birds is so nice - but it’s within an easy walk of central Paihia for shops, eating and the shore for swimming, kayaks, paddle boards & boat trips. Getting back up to the property after the high season bustle & noise in central Paihia during our stay was fabulous.
Kathryn and Jim have equipped the annex with thought and it has everything you need - things we pointed out were fixed or will be soon. The house was really clean.
The bathroom is new and sparkly clean, with a good size shower cubicle and really nice shower gel, shampoo, conditioner etc. 2 fluffy towels each. Powerful hairdryer.
Fans in the bedrooms will help in really hot weather and also help deter mozzies.
The beds were very comfortable with crisp clean linen.
WiFi was great - only a couple of periods of flakey connection.
Little details were great - like a bottle to chill water in the frij, and the starter pack with coffee, tea, milk and lovely chocolate.
Kathryn and Jim were responsive helpful on-site hosts but did not intrude at all.
The stay was too short- a week or 2 next time.
