If I could give a million stars, I would! Margaret met us on our arrival, gave us a tour of the house and it far exceeded my expectations!
The pictures only do it a little justice— it’s simply beautiful.
The amenities were far superior— inclusive of a washing machine and SKY tv. The house itself is amazing— wood all throughout. The bedrooms would fit a family of 4 more than comfortably with space left over for extra guests. The linens were fresh, the towels on a heated rack and everything so very comfortable.
The kitchen came loaded with everything we needed to cook multiple meals. We then took them out to the private deck and watched downtown Paihia at its best. Lots of sunshine, a few minutes walk to the main drag in town and multiple beaches. Waitangi is 10 mins down the road which made it easy to get our fill of the history of my beautiful land.
Margaret was a doll; got my washing in just in case it rained. Wifi without a hitch and lots of brochures for touristy activities with discount coupons.
Parking provided right out the front door and the hosts were a knock away if there were any issues— none though!
If you’re looking to stay somewhere that has more than your usual creature comforts while being central to the Bay of Islands (like we were; we spent time in Waikare, Kawakawa, Waitangi, Opua, Haruru and Waipu with my family) — GO HERE!
Run, don’t walk. Totally worth every dollar for an amazing, unforgettable stay.
