David’s place is the perfect spot if you visit Paihia and the Bay of Islands.
The location must be the best in the area with exceptional views out to the bay. If we could give more than five stars for location then we would have done so. Even the short but steep walk up to the property was easily manageable. But David kindly offered us a lift up the hill after we had spent the day sailing - a most thoughtful touch.
If you like to cater for yourselves then there are more than adequate cooking facilities. There can not be a restaurant or bar that matches the views from the balconies at the apartment. It would be a false economy to book a motel with no cooking facilities only to have to eat all meals at restaurants and cafes.
The property is protected behind an electric gate drive so very safe for the security conscious traveller.
All in all, we absolutely recommend David’s accommodation and hope to return for a longer visit in the future.
