Koru cottage was the perfect homebase for our stay in Paihia! A short 5 minute drive into town or 20 minute walk. Marilyn responded quickly and was a gracious host! The bed was comfy, and the deck was a nice place to relax after a day of exploring. The cottage had everything we needed. Paihia itself has amazing cafe's and cute shops down the main drag, not to mention the beautiful beach! We would absolutely stay here again!
