Perfect for 2 people
We enjoyed 5 days here and we were very comfortable. It was a short walk to Paihia along the beach if the tide was low enough. The bach was well equipped and we cooked meals on a couple of occasions.

Lovely place
The batch is lovely, easy to find and to access. Nice walk up and down the hill to Paihia center. The place has all the commodities needed and a very nice interior design touch. The only downside was the proximity with neighbours who like to play loud music in the morning.

Got Everything You Need
It's got everything you need: good bed, full kitchen with all the utensils you need, bathroom with everything, heaps of towels, and outdoor area to chill. It's not central Paihia, so it's more peaceful, but so close as well, plus close to Opua, where you can take car ferries. It's very near a beach where you can collect so many Pipis. It's very quirky inside and there's some games and many movies to watch.

Great spot
My husband and I loved staying at this wee cottage. It had everything we needed, is a short drive from main Paihia and a relatively quiet location. The ferry to Russell is a short 5 min drive too. The cottage was immaculate on arrival, everything fresh and clean, has a real homely feel to it with kitsch artwork and super comfy bed. Just one small thing, the TV in the main room may need replacing as the screen was hard to view. However, overall we really enjoyed our time here!! Thank you!!
