We had a large group of family staying in Paihia using 2 airbnb properties. This house was perfect as the base for 11 of our family, and even though there was only 1 toilet they managed fine. The house and decor is dated however was ideal for the family, the large outdoor entertaining area worked well. The variety of room setups allowed everyone to have enough space. The kitchen is quite small but workable and was well equipped as listed. The property is 2 level and part of a large complex so with little kids we needed to be mindful of other traffic going past the building as the downstairs rooms exited straight to the driveway. Mark had an issue sourcing cleaners so we agreed to do the clean (for a refund of our own cleaning fee) as there had apparently been only a few people staying. There did appear to be some rubbish that had been there longer however. Overall, recommended for groups if you want somewhere close to town and comfortable. Mark was a good host.
