Abri Apartments 4 stars

Paihia

These north-facing apartments feature beautiful sea views looking out across the Bay of Islands. All units have heating and TV. All units are fully self-contained and include cooking facilities. Free WiFi is included. We absolutely Loved everything about this amazing property. From the arrival to the last day of departure, we were sad we had to leave and get back to reality. Absolute bliss and tranquility here. Birds song of the morning, peaceful rays of sunlight by day, and fading beauty as the sun went down. Bed was comfy, the apartment space was perfect, kitchen had everything we needed and “What a bonus” Room with a spa bath 🥰 Thoroughly enjoyed every second of our stay! The Owner, Helen, Greeted us and made us feel so welcome, and made sure everything was great.
