Fabulous accommodation and location
We spent 3 nights here to unwind a bit after a two week hiking trip of the South Island. We could not have picked a better place. It had everything we needed. Amazing views from all the rooms and we never even used the car. Walked all over, to Paihia and the ferry to Russell. Even walked to the Treaty Grounds for the tour. Kay was very welcoming when we arrived and it was so private we never saw them again. I highly recommend this property.

Incredible view, great location
Kay’s place is awesome! The view cannot be beat, the entire place is meticulously clean, and the couches/beds are very comfortable. We had a relaxing week at Kay’s, and we loved staying within walking distance to town, the beach, and the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Never used the kayaks, but we appreciated having plenty of towels for the beach or bath. Also, the kitchen included all of the cooking supplies we needed, and the BBQ was spotless (as well as the whole house). We were in NZ for 5 weeks, and this definitely was our top place. Thank you, Kay!

Perfect rental home in Paihia!!
From the moment we arrived my husband & I knew the home would be perfect. The views are magnificent. Location is excellent. We walked everywhere including to the grocery store, restaurants & shops. You just need a car for excursions. The beach at the bottom of the hill is lovely for swimming The home is so clean, organized & comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked & there are plenty of towels & linens. We met the owner Kay upon arrival & her hospitality was superb! We felt this was our home away from home. It was sad to leave & we’d go back in a heartbeat. We’ve been renting homes through VRBO for over 20 years & we were so happy with this one!!

Lovely house in perfect location
My husband and I and our two 10 year old daughters went to Paihia for three nights and Kay’s place was perfect. Plenty of room, cozy, super clean and amazing views. The location is perfect, an easy walk to Countdown, shops, restaurants and the pier and an easy drive to Waitangi, the Russell car ferry and nearby towns. Unfortunately we didn’t cross paths with Kay but all communication was clear and timely. Highly recommend and would definitely return.

Superb views from the dining table
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!

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!
