I loved staying at the two trees bnb! It was my first stop of five in NZ and a perfect way to kick off the trip. Paihia is a beautiful little beach town and two trees is very well located—close to the water, shops, and cafes but tucked away just enough to allow you to relax and get a good nights sleep. The bnb is essentially a little private apartment with just about everything you may need. Walter was there when I arrived and he gave me a little tour or the room and suggested a excursion out to otehei bay, which I booked. It was only $25 and allowed me to spend the entire day in a ridiculously beautiful island full of hiking trails hidden beaches and great people. It was a short stay for me, but the most memorable one. Definitely recommend.
