We didn’t actually stay here in the end as there was a bit of dampness in the air and furniture when we arrived and it was a bit late in the day for it to be fixable before bed really (or else we didn’t fancy risking it) However please don’t read this as a “bad” review. We are certain that this might have just been a product of the weather conditions and the fact that the flat doesn’t get a lot of the natural light. In the heat of a summer’s day this would be a definite plus and there was a heater & dehumidifier on hand so it would be resolvable if it did arise again and there was more time, no doubt. Ruth was also absolutely brilliant at the communication on it — despite the fact that she was on her way to Auckland at the time! Our sense was that this would actually be a great spot to stay if you want proximity to Paihia and especially, we imagine, in summer when the flat would likely stay nice and cool.
