We stayed at Jarrads for 3 nights whilst in Pahia. Despite the solid rain for almost all of the two days, we still very much enjoyed our stay.
Jarrads is 5-10min walk from town and the beach. His place is a really relaxing space, due to the rain we chilled out in the really comfy lounge, watched rudgy and planned out the rest of our trip. He has a great deck with a big BBQ and fantastic Coffee machine. The room was comfy, clean with nice big windows. And Jarrad himself was fantastic at recommending all the best tips for the rest of our trip, he has so much knowledge of the whole of NZ and the places he recommended us turned out to be real gems. Stay here you wont regret it.
