Your review doesn't say anything ? Our apartments all look out over the Bay towards the Historical township of Russell .We are about 5-6 stores above the beach level so our views are special and unique for Paihia . We are in walking distance to town and the super market .The beach is just below us ,so no driving.

This was a fantastic place to stay at the Bay of Island. Great view as on top of the hill. Close to everything, room was fantastic for 3 adults and would suit a family as roomy, self contained was excellent. Was in a great position and close enough to everything. The hosts were very helpful, knowledgeable and accommodation. Would definately recommend this accommodation in a heart beat

Our apartments enjoy million dollars views looking out across the Bay over towards the Historical Township of Russell.During your stay you decided to not use the disability car park recommended that allows extra space for wheel chairs that was your own decision ,We have had many guests over the years with wheel chairs use the apartment you stayed in and all being very happy with parking provided.

Spotlessly clean. The kitchen was very well equipped and the view from our terrace was spectacular. The hot tub was used every day and great after a long day's sightseeing. Only tiny criticism was the beds were a bit hard for us but of course bed firmness is down to personal taste.

Thank for your review ,Our apartments have fully stocked Kitchens and every thing else you will have at home (exception is our studio which has a stove top only and no washing machine ) Our views set us apart from any other place in Paihia ,being able to look out across the Bay over towards the Historic township of Russell is the best way to enjoy a stay in Paihia. Beds are a very personnel thing ,some like really soft ,some like a very firm bed ,we have recommended industry beds for our apartments.The apartments that have a spa are extra special to stay in. (if wanting to book a Spa apartment ,they have the word Spa in the apartment title description ie -deluxe two bedroom with Spa ) hope to see you again in the near future .

Amazing view and staff. Logan was excellent from the day we checked in to any request made to check out. Very clean apartment and excellent location. Great Kitchen space and living area. All kitchen appliances to cutlery and pots and kitchen items were clean and very well presented on shelves. Amazing views from living area and room balcony of the beach and sea and nights were so quiet and relaxing with just waves to hear. All neighbouring apartments guests were very respectful of rules set by apartment which made the trip a very memorable one. Thank you and especially Logan. Highly recommend this place.

Good spot for a lazy weekend. Apartment is very well appointed with everything you may need. Robes and Sky movies were nice unexpected extras. Reception was friendly and helpful.

Thank you for your review , We have fantastic million dollars views out across the bay and including looking out towards the historic Russell township. As you mentioned we have well stocked apartments with the little added extra's like bathrobes for the apartments that have spa's on the deck area's. The storm weather didn't help the when sitting in the out door spa during your stay with us , The spa's are set only a couple degrees below the maximum temp ,which is the recommended best safe temp. Our indoor spa apartment is most sort after in winter as not weather effected when enjoying a soak. Hope to see you again one day.

Thank you for review , The apartments that have there own exclusive spa are extremely popular ,and a great way to relax after a day out exploring the sights of the bay of Islands or further a field. You certainly must have enjoyed a stroll along the beach ,as it usually only takes 7-10min's to walk to Paihia township from here, We are in a great location for views out across the bay and having the beach right down below us. Hope to see you again soon.

A great little apartment, easy walk into Paihia. The manager Doug was very helpful and informative, with lots of local knowledge and history. Everything you need was in the apartment and a supermarket is within a five minute walk. The beach is directly opposite apartment, safe swimming. Boat trips and water activities close by and Doug had information and was able to book a boat trip for us.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review ,glad to read you enjoyed your time with us. The Bay of Islands has much to offer ,including it's rich history for Maori and European's . Getting out on a boat is the only way to see why the Bay is called the Bay of Islands. Our location allows guests to have a fantastic view ,and so handy to the beach and places most visited during any visitors trip here.
