Such a beautiful spot and a very lovely home with extremely comfortable beds in the main house. We enjoyed kayaking and exploring the gorgeous garden. Wonderful that we were able to take our dog, too. The hosts were very attentive and helpful. The house was well equipped and we wanted for nothing. It was also only a short drive to Kerikeri to get supplies.

Murray & Pam are the perfect hosts and were on hand with tips/advice during our stay. It's a great base for exploring the Bay of Islands, Paihia itself is a lovely little town, we took the car ferry to Russell and a boat trip from Paihia to the hole in the rock and went to Kerikeri to see the waterfalls. It really is the perfect place if you just want to chill out; we loved watching the sun come up each morning; a stunning view.
