Sharon and Yarn are lovely, friendly people. Their garden is superb and the room is very clean. It is a quiet place to sleep over and have a shower. Their place is not close to Paihia (the tourist centre), so you'll need a car as it is an ~10 minute (9km?) drive. A few things to be aware of... there is no microwave oven and no sink to wash up your dishes. The place is advertised as not having a kitchen yet it has a fridge, kettle and toaster, so you should be OK if the only thing you want to do is eat breakfast (they provide a small bottle of milk for coffees). Not having a microwave or a sink was a problem for us (we brought our own dinner along to heat up) but it is my fault for not spotting "no kitchen" on the website. Apart from that, we had a great shower and a good night's sleep.
