It has been said by many before, but WOW the pictures do not do the views justice. David & Cecily had everything ready to go for a smooth check in, even accommodating our late arrival. This was our first experience with AirBnB, and we couldn't be more happy about the experience. We were welcomed by a brief introduction letter letting us know that our privacy was going to be respected during out stay, but would advise others that you're missing out if you don't go up and say hello to your hosts. David is absolutely hilarious, and Cecily's welcoming nature sets the bar for New Zealand hospitality. If you're even on the fence about this one- can't recommend highly enough. Paihia will remain a highlight of our trip!
