Barrie is a wonderful host and extremely personable. His place was very tidy, comfortable and easily accessible from central Paihia shops, Paihia wharf and the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. The outdoor setting has a fully functional stove, BBQ, shower and toilet. The outdoor shower is excellent with very good hot water which you can use even during the winter months. The cabin has a kettle, toaster, microwave and utensils and even a desk to work on. The cabin is a great design and provides everything you need for short stays. I'll highly recommend Barrie and his place for anyone looking to spend a few nights in Paihia.
