Family visit
Lovely! Our family of five (3 teens included) enjoyed a comfortable and scenic stay! Alisha welcomed us upon arriving and was a delight to meet. The property was easy to access and just a trail walk to the local beach. A lovely place to land while holidaying!

The Paihia Lighthouse is a fantastic property with amazing views and responsive hosts. Alisha is happy to help with any problem. It is at the top of a steep hill and has a steep driveway - this is not an issue (everything is sealed bitumen) but our mini-van had to be manoeuvred carefully. The BBQ deck is great for cooking dinner on a sunny day. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay
This is a really beautiful property which is well located for all the activities around Paihia. Whilst being close to town it is situated in a quiet location with beautiful views. Our host Alisha has spent a lot of time ensuring the property is just right for her guests, and that you have everything you could want to make your stay enjoyable. If we are ever back in the Bay of Islands I would head straight back to this property.

About the host

Hosted by Alisha

Host profile image
I truly enjoy welcoming guests and work diligently to provide them with an unforgettable and refreshing vacation. The Bay of Islands, New Zealand, is my absolute favorite corner of the globe, and sharing it with others is my passion. I've captured the vibes of my water playground in a visually stunning music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcEb8TmJ8lU

Why they chose this property

Now, residing a mere five minutes from the water's edge, I am afforded the luxury of weaving swims into my daily routine. When I'm not basking on the sand, I cherish the view of the bay, glittering like a jewel beneath me, all while being serenaded by the sound of waves, the melodious calls of tuis, and the joyful laughter of children frolicking on the beach.

What makes this property unique

Perched atop a ridge and cradled by the native forest, the upper floor of this brand new home unfolds itself into a luxurious 100 sq meter executive retreat. With its own private access, it offers an exclusive and secluded experience for your stay in the heart of Paihia.
