This house is a really great place to stay, esp. if you have 4-6 people, and particularly if you have younger children! First off, Ness and Stu were incredibly responsive to any questions or concerns we had. The location is easy walking distance from downtown Paihia and the beaches, and even closer to some great local hiking/running trails in the hills above town. The house is rustic but wonderfully comfortable. Our two younger daughters (7 and 9) loved all the toys, books, fish tanks, and the trampoline, and our older daughter (20's) loved having her own room. The furniture and equipment are all "well loved" but completely functional and comfortable! It's not fancy, but we all felt right at home here and our kids absolutely loved staying here! It was well worth what we payed!
