We stayed at Kay's place in 2nd week of May. We were a family of 4 and found the house really spacious and gorgeous..
Kay was really nice and met us when we arrived. There's a covered private parking just outside the main door of the house. The first floor has the living room, the laundry room and the kitchen. The living room is really spacious and has the dining at one end. The kitchen is very well equipped with all the amenities. Most importantly, attached to the living room, there's a specific deck on all the 3 sides which overlooks the sea front. It has the most spectacular and unobstructed view of the sea in the front.
The 2nd floor has 2 bedrooms. The master bedroom had the same spectacular sea view that u get from the deck on the 1 St floor. Each bedroom has a large closet. There's a bath with a large bath tub and a separate shower. The toilet is adjacent to the bath and has a separate entry. There was a separate portable heater in each of the bedrooms.
Kay stays on the upper floors. But has a separate entry and exit so there's no interference to the guests and vice versa..
Kay has kept a few kayaks for the guests to use if anyone wishes which I think is a huge add on for anyone who knows and wants to use them as the beach is right across the road.
The fuel station's just a stones throw away. The super market is 2 min walk around the corner from the house.
The location is perfect. Its just 4 min drive from the City center. 5 min from waitangi treaty grounds. 3.5 km from Haruru falls. 5 min drive from Paihia ferry terminal where u can catch your ferry to cross over to a 15 min ride across to Russel.
Quite a few shops and eating places at City center that's just 5 minutes away.
All n all, I think this was the best Airbnb home that I hv stayed at.
Thanks to Kay..
Honestly, I can't describe how beautiful this home is in words.. One must visit and take the experience first hand..
