We stayed one night at BayHouse on Binnie - our first Airbnb experience since my husband and I arrived in NZ from the UK to travel around the country. The room had everything we needed, well equipped with fridge, toaster, plates, cups, glasses, tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc, plus a super clean ensuite bathroom and good shower. The free wifi worked well. It rained a lot during our one night stay but we still enjoyed time on the deck as much as we could - we ate a takeaway meal we had picked up in Paihia under the deck canopy, enjoyed a relaxing evening soak in the hot tub, and ate breakfast out there the next morning. It was a brief visit to the area but we spent an interesting afternoon at Waitangi Treaty Grounds and had a walk around Paihia waterfront, only a few minutes drive from the Airbnb. It was great to be able to park our car right outside the room, making unloading easy, and parking appeared more difficult if we had stayed in Paihia itself. Peter was away that night but Jacqueline was a great hostess, ensuring we had everything we needed and imparting tips and local knowledge. Many thanks for good communication and a pleasant stay from Heather & Neil.
