The location is great - away from the busy main road, five minute walk to the town restaurants and shopping, 10 minute walk to the beach. Paia is also a fun, small town, place to stay. The place was clean with some minor places for improvement - new bath towels and dish rack. But beach chairs, beach towels, and coolers were provided which was a nice touch. The parking situation with a shared driveway was a little tight, we were almost trapped in when leaving for the sunrise. Overall we enjoyed our stay here.
