Cozy house well placed between Opua and Paihia. House was very private with own entrance from parking. House felt larger than on pictures and was very beautifully built and maintained with a nice garden with a lot of greenery around. Unfortunately there was a lot of rain during our stay but if not I can imagine the terrace is perfect for breakfast or a glass of wine after a day of exploring the area.
There was a lot of recommendations given by the owners that were super helpful! We spent our 4 rainy days hiking the paths directly from the house and in the nearby areas and trying all cafés and restaurants (great ones both in Paihia and Russel).
For those who get a sunnier stay there are beautiful beaches and boatrides to take close by.
Overall a very beautiful airbnb and would definitly recommend!
