We stayed 4 nights in this relatively large, modern, and stylish apartment. If we return to Paihia we would stay here again.
It is self check in and we did not meet the host.
As many previous guests have noted, the views are extraordinary.
There are a few things to be aware of. The driveway is very steep with no turnaround, so you have to back down the long steep driveway to get out. It’s a steep 1km walk to the wharf if you leave the car at the apartment.
The WiFi is pretty weak at less than 2Mbps; it appears to be running as an extension from the main house upstairs.
There are no clothes hangers and no dryer (amenities list says dryer).
