The photos of the unit did not do it justice. The kitchenette was extremely well stocked and lots of thoughtful extras. The bed was extremely comfortable. A quiet, relaxing place. Highly recommend this and will go again.

Take it easy at this tranquil getaway which sits above Paihia township. The apartment has a bedroom with a queen bed as well as bunkbeds in the living area. It borders a bush reserve, making it a peaceful place to relax and unwind. Take a 5 minute stroll down the bush track to the beach at the southern end of Paihia. Here you will find barbecues, a playground, changing rooms, kayak & paddelboard hire, cafes, bars, resturants and a convenience store. Continue along the waterfront to the town centre to discover a village atmosphere where you can catch the passenger ferry to Russell.
Hi, I'm Karen. Although I live upstairs, my home is completely separate from the apartment. I love to travel and have visited 30 countries, but there's still plenty more to see. I live with my 13 year old cat Smudge and have an adult son who lives in Canada
5 minute walk to the beach via a bush track, 10 minute walk to the town centre where you will find shops, cafes, bars, supermarket, information centre and Paihia wharf where you can catch the ferry to Russell. Close to Waitangi treaty grounds, mountain bike park and bushwalks
