We had a nice stay in the Hina Room at Mike's House, which is just a short walk down Baldwin Avenue, a main artery, to Paia town centre. Our host Rina was warm and friendly and aptly presented the clean room and common parts of the house to us, clearly explaining entry procedures, house rules, food storage and so on. We were out most of the time but cooked several breakfasts in the amply equipped kitchen. Opening the windows on both sides of the room generated a welcome draft at night, however, early morning traffic noise on the road just outside was a little distracting. All in all a welcome sojourn.
