I decided to stay an extra day in Paihia and luckily found Jan’s place. The garden apartment is quaint, clean and located on the ground level of Jan’s home located in the quiet, Te Haumi neighborhood in the hills above Paihia. The kitchen had everything needed to cook. It is a pleasant setting with the garden patio and a fantastic view of the bay. Short drive (5 minutes) into Paihia. Jan is a very friendly and welcoming host. I would recommend.
