This cozy cottage has everything we needed for a delightful stay in Paihia. The location is perfect: just a few steps off the beaten path for some quiet, but a 5 minute walk to the hub of activity at the wharf. We had an AMAZING swim with dolphins on a day that started out quite stormy. The weather here can change quickly and is different off-shore than on land. Corinne's cottage is supplied with all the things you didn't bring that make your stay more enjoyable: tea, coffee, sugar, milk in the fridge, salt and pepper for the eggs you brought, body wash and shampoo, and sparkling sheets and towels. In return, please use her makeup wipes rather than wiping makeup on her towels, and please use the squeegee on the inside of the glass shower door to wipe off water drops that leave mineral stains. The airbnb community is one that helps our hosts keep their places in good shape for others. Thanks, Corinne!
