Shared home, but it feels like your own. We stayed in the upstairs room (couple with 12 year old), and it was perfect. House is clean, tidy and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Parking onsite. Either walk 10 minutes down the hill to central Paihia, or a 2 minute drive. Jarrad is a wonderful host, and has lots of suggestions for activities as he works in the tourism industry.
