The house location, was incorrect nor an easy walk to Paihia unless the tide was out. There was no wifi or exhaust fans, so cooking set off the smoke alarm and you had to shower with the window open. The property was very clean however was full of scented candles and air freshener to overshadow the smell of damp which is dangerous for people with asthma and allergies, so had to air out the house for 3 hours before entry and all other times while inside so we could breath meaning it filled with mozzies. The special price was excellent, as I definitely would not have paid full price and a picture of the accommodation should be available to clients not the beach as the view from the Bach is broken down vehicles.

Pros: Cute place. Very comfortable bed. Very close to town Cons: Communicating with the owner was a little difficult. Place was very cold. The heat did not work right away, but was plenty warm when we returned the following afternoon.

Nice place to stay

Nice and cozy place for a solo or a couple. A car would be recommended as it is not walkable to many of the places you may wish to go, although taxis are easy to get and affordable. Very clean and I enjoyed the back deck.

Perfect for 2 people

We enjoyed 5 days here and we were very comfortable. It was a short walk to Paihia along the beach if the tide was low enough. The bach was well equipped and we cooked meals on a couple of occasions.

Lovely place

The batch is lovely, easy to find and to access. Nice walk up and down the hill to Paihia center. The place has all the commodities needed and a very nice interior design touch. The only downside was the proximity with neighbours who like to play loud music in the morning.

Got Everything You Need

It's got everything you need: good bed, full kitchen with all the utensils you need, bathroom with everything, heaps of towels, and outdoor area to chill. It's not central Paihia, so it's more peaceful, but so close as well, plus close to Opua, where you can take car ferries. It's very near a beach where you can collect so many Pipis. It's very quirky inside and there's some games and many movies to watch.

Great spot

My husband and I loved staying at this wee cottage. It had everything we needed, is a short drive from main Paihia and a relatively quiet location. The ferry to Russell is a short 5 min drive too. The cottage was immaculate on arrival, everything fresh and clean, has a real homely feel to it with kitsch artwork and super comfy bed. Just one small thing, the TV in the main room may need replacing as the screen was hard to view. However, overall we really enjoyed our time here!! Thank you!!

Lovely little bach right near the bch

We stayed three nights in this charming little bach. It is perfectly located right near a nice beach and very close to Paihia town. It has everything you need - it was really well set up, and the owners were very responsive and lovely to deal with! One quick caution, there is no WiFi (possibly a good thing?) and very few powr plugs, but this is a minor point and once we adapted to moving our devices around all was good. We would come back in a heartbeat.

great little house

The house was in the perfect location. Right across from one of the beaches and a very short drive into the town. The house itself was very tidy and clean. The owners of the house were also very lovely. Overall an awesome stay and would totally go back again!
