We used Aramis' place as a base to recover from jet lag flying from the UK. I couldn't have thought of a better place to stay. Such a beautiful location and everything you could need.
Aramis is very responsive when asked questions about his place and also allowed an early check in which was perfect as we landed in Auckland at 5am, so anything earlier was much appreciated.
We absolutely loved Piha, and will 100% be back.
The only issue we had, which is more of a personal preference is the mattress is soft so if you prefer a harder mattress bear that in mind. But as I say, just a personal preference of ours and not a complaint (can't please everyone hey!).
