About this property
Bayswater, beach hotel Paihia, bay of islands
Only a 200 metre flat walk to Paihia Village and Wharf - beach across the road.
Bayswater Holiday Home has two levels
Top floor open plan kitchen, dining and lounge plus bathroom, huge deck with BBQ, great views.
Below four double bedrooms - three with Queen Beds and one with a Double Bed - sleeps 8 - Master Bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. There is also another bathroom and a lounge area with 2 king singles. So up to 10 in total.
Bayswater is a home that can accommodate up to 10 guests but we have priced it so two people or more can book it and get the advantage and space of a large home but not pay for what they would not use. All we do is lock off rooms that won't be used
For example a couple staying will have the Master Bedroom downstairs with en-suite bathroom and the entire first floor - heaps of space. With two couples, one couple will have the Master Bedroom with the en-suite bathroom and the second couple will have the second bedroom with their own bathroom adjacent and so on with another two bedrooms and two singles in the downstairs lounge area. Please contact us if you need more information.
Paihia waterfront location makes this holiday home one of the best in the bay. It’s only a 5 minute flat walk to Paihia township and wharf which is the tourism hub of the Bay of Islands.
The beach is across the road.
Perfect for two people who want space....or a large family. Even better for two couples travelling together.
There is off-street parking for three cars .
The big plus for this holiday home is that once ensconced you don’t have to drive anywhere – everything in Paihia is a few minutes level walk away!
In front of the house is Paihia’s best known seafood restaurant – JFC - great location if you feel like dining out and don’t want to drive anywhere.
Special conditions:
Please, no stag parties and the like!

About the host
Hosted by Chester Rendell
Louise and Chester Rendell are long time residents of Paihia and originally purchased the property in 1983 when it was a Motel and Tea House. It took about six weeks for them to work out that there was no money in “scones, jam and cream”, and it wasn’t long before the ‘Courtyard Restaurant’ morphed out of the original Tea House. Later this became ‘Bistro 40’ and then ‘Only Seafood’ was established above Bistro 40 in 1991.
Fast forward to 2019, Chester and Louise decided to re-open the restaurant, JFC - Just Fish & Chips, with the simple aim of providing just good, honest fish & chips. JFC - Just Fish & Chips only purchases fresh fish. Another point of difference is the delicious crunchy chips which are handmade at the restaurant. Produce is sourced in the Bay of Islands first, Northland and certainly New Zealand if at all possible.
If you are looking for an all-in-one Bay of Islands experience, stay at our Bayswater Holiday Home which is located behind the JFC Restaurant. With stunning sea views and all the facilities needed for a very comfortable stay, it’s your home away from home!
At JFC you can dine in or takeaway and it’s fully licensed.
Come on in and experience something special!
