Good location. 5minute drive to Paihia itself. Near the vehicle ferry to Russell.
A bit of steep shared driveway, but no issue for experienced driver or you can street park. Plenty of house space, kids loved the attic where they slept which has 2 bunks, a single bed plus extra mattress. 1 bedroom downstairs and sofa beds in the living room. Nice forest literally at the back, but might want to bring some candles to get rid of insects just in case host has ran out and no aircon so will need to open some windows. Separate toilet and bath so scheduling use maybe required. There is also bbq and outside seats. Hope this helps!
