The listing is a cute little studio as described. The location is a couple blocks away from Paihia's central marina and thoroughfare. It's ideal for walking everywhere yet keeping distance from the buzz and noise. What made our stay fantastic was the care and attention of our hosts. We spent a few days exploring Paihia prior to leaving on a 5-day kayak trip along the coast. Rob and Corinne offered to keep our bags while were away so we didn't have to worry about securing safe storage. When we discovered the wonderful oranges on the tree in their front yard, we ended up with large bag for our group to enjoy on the trip. And, when the booking for an airport shuttle seemed a bit sketchy, Rob invited us to call him if there was a problem - even though at that point we were no longer guests. All in all - a much appreciated introduction to NZ hospitality. Thank you!
