This is a very unique stay. If you like quirky and eclectic - no boutique thrills - if you have lively kids who love the outdoors but you want a rural getaway Ryan’s Place is perfect. We had a simply brilliant week here with our friend and 6 kids between us under 10. The spa provided so much fun for the kids. The view is to die for. The noise of the countryside is wonderful. The igloo house and all its eccentricities were right up our street. Being 20 mins away from Paihia was ideal - away from it all. But most of all Di was a truly lovely host and went out of her way to make us feel welcome - and all the kids. Very homely. Didn’t want to leave! Would totally recommend.
