The staff were very obliging, moving us to a groundfloor room when they realised I had a dodgy knee. Pauline and the staff in the restaurant and bar were knowledgable about tourist things to do and when my husband brought fish back from a fishing trip, the Chef cooked it to perfection. Excellent Wifi connectionenabled me to stay in touch with the family back in Australia. I would stay there again if I am fortunate enough to return to Paihia. I loved the extra touch of a gift bag encouraging us...
