Stay here you won’t regret it!
This apartment was spotlessly clean. It was beautifully decorated and well equipped with everything that you would need. Dishes, towels, bedding. It has a large soaking tub and large shower. Easy walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Also a short walk to the beach. It even has kayaks for guest use. The hosts are helpful and they answered questions quickly. Everything sounds good right? But wait there’s more. The view is amazing! The front part of the apartment is all windows with views of crystal clear blue water, islands and the beach. It is especially beautiful at sunrise, but there is no bad time for this view. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. 5 stars. Highly recommended.

This property is outstanding on all fronts. The hosts, Kay and Wayne are very welcoming, leave you to your privacy but are on hand if needed. They allowed us to check in early and check out late. The property is even better than the photos. No expense is spared on furninishings and it has everything you will need. It is located perfectly, just ten mins from the town and very quiet. We explored the area and some of the islands. It's stunning and we cannot wait to return!

Summer Break
We enjoyed the beautiful views, and the well-equipped apartment. We were disappointed not to have air conditioning in the bedroom, though the fan was helpful. The parking would be a bit tight for larger cars.

Best rental property ever
This was the most beautiful, comfortable and clean rental we could have asked for; when we walked into the living room, we literally gasped at the stunning view. It's even more beautiful than the pictures show. Kay thought of everything we might need. Lots of soft linens and towels, the kayaks which we took on some great adventures with access right down the street, good quality kitchen supplies, complimentary milk and coffee, games, TV and strong wifi, it goes on. The beds were very comfortable and it was nice to have the kids' room down the hallway for some privacy. It's a gorgeous 10 minute beach walk into town with restaurants, ice cream and a small grocery store and shopping, and a 2 minute drive to a bigger grocery store. There's a playground at the beach in front of the house. We cooked most nights on the BBQ and ate out on the deck overlooking the ocean. The view from the primary bedroom is amazing, what a way to wake up! The location within Piahia is perfect, a bit away from the town and off of the main road, but close enough to walk most places you wanted to be. 10/10 Kay, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!

The house is tucked away behind other houses in the bay and the open plan kitchen and lounge which open on to a terrace has brilliant panormic views. We stayed with our two young girls who loved the house and short walk down to the beach. The house is really well equipped with everything needed for self catering even kayaks and life jackets!

possibly best vrbo place ever!
We stayed for 3 weeks at this fabulous place and have only good things to say about it. Location, view, privacy, quiet and comfortable -- all those critical basics were met. But on top of that, everything was so ship-shape -- windows sparkling clean, great washing machine, fully-stocked kitchen with a few cooking essentials such as oil, S+P, a few spices, and fully stocked pots and pans. The huge sunny deck was an absolute delight. The bed was super comfortable, bathroom spic and span. Everything we could possibly need was there, even a couple of fun kayaks for ocean adventures. I have traveled a LOT and I have stayed in a lot of places and this ranks as one of the top 3 places I've ever stayed in. An absolute delight from beginning to end. Thank you Kay!

We loved this property! Perfect mix of beautiful views and outdoor space, and a feeling on homeliness and coziness. Kay’s communication was excellent and we were allowed to check in early which was amazing. Everything was so clean and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils. It’s not quite in the centre of Paihia, but the walk there is short and scenic. I would highly recommend this property!!

This is a wonderful property! A beautiful location, on top of the hill looking down across the beach. Warm and full of light. A wonderfully appointed kitchen and bathroom. The beds are comfortable and the house was exceptionally clean and well cared for. Undercover parking underneath. No parking for boats but this could be arranged at the marina or boat storage if needed. The Sky TV and WIFI a welcomed and well utilised extra when the weather turned during our stay! We will definitely be back!

Superb holiday home for a family of 4
This is a great house for a truly relaxing family holiday. Kay is a very gracious host, who despite living on the property, left us to enjoy the house as our own. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped for a holiday rental and great for the foodie on a self catering holiday. The location is great for access to the beach at Pahia, the Whaitangi Treaty grounds/ museum and the Whaitangi MTB park.

Beautiful views over the Bay of Islands
I really enjoyed my stay at Kay's property--it had stunning views of the Bay of Islands from the deck (including great sunrises), and was very well fitted out with all amenities. The kitchen was extremely well-equipped with every utensil or appliance you could possibly need. The house is spacious, clean, and bright, with fabulous views, and the owners were very responsive and friendly. I'd highly recommend staying here--I was there for 5 nights, and would love to return again sometime. It is also walking distance to Paihia and the ferry to Russell, and to the Waitangi treaty grounds, and across the street from the local beach, so a super convenient location.

Amazing, comfortable, fun!
This is what VRBOs should all be like. Well appointed with nearly everything we could possibly need - and CLEAN! We can’t stop talking about how clean and comfortable we were in this beautiful home. We have two kids younger than 8yrs old, so we cook in a lot. The kitchen and BBQ were a joy. The sand toys and kayaks were great. Kim was a fantastic host. If I had any complaint, it would be the spa hot tub was broken, and the shower wasn’t anywhere up to the caliber of the rest of the home. But with vast open deck doors from the main room to the deck overlooking the bay, we had little time to lounge around in the restroom. Would book again, 100%.
