My wife and I had a comfortable stay for 2 nights. Jarrad gave us several useful tips for sightseeing around Paihia. Facilities offered are quite good, including washing / drying clothes and dishwasher. Breakfast offered is very basic, could be improved somewhat by including eggs. Wi-Fi worked well.
This house is about a KM away from the sea-front / shops / restaurants and being on a steep gradient it is not a very convenient walk, especially for elderly folks like us. The room becomes quite hot during the daytime (we were there in end-Feb) but is cool and pleasant during evening / night.
Out of the 4 Airbnb's we used in NZ (at Auckland, Rotorua, Taupo and Paihia) this was by far the costliest and I could not figure why. So I would not score it high on the VFM front.
