    Booking.com error on arrival!! Spa not available.

    The rooms were spacious and had everything we all needed. The feeling of peace with the surroundings of the bush area with the beautiful bird sounds, made it a great experience for us.

    reception lady, she was very very unfriendly. no warm welcome at all. i never ever seen a rude receptionist like her. the reason i give the lower score because of her bad attitude and unprofessional customer service! me and my parent were very upset as we paid big money to stay one night but were very unhappy with her. she has ruined my day be honest! she yelled us and racist!!!!! we have been treated in an unfair way.

    location is good close to town center. apartment is in a private and quiet.

    Having to pay an extra night for my room as Booking.com had made a mistake and had me leaving a day early than I had requested. Jan sorted the situation out and saved my bacon. There was a musty smell from the lower level of 2 of the apartments I booked.

    The proximity to Paihia itself was great and the apartments had a great view and were quiet and enjoyable. The gardens were well cared for and pleasant.

    the parking for our apartment specifically was not very convenient to park in, it was a bit of an awkward parking spot.

    it was a very private space that has been well maintained!

    There were only a couple of things that were a small disappointment. We weren’t told that the hot water was on gas so it took quite awhile for us to get hot water when we were doing the dishes. The hot water in the shower came on straightaway. the 4 slice toaster wasn’t working and the place looked like it just needed a little bit more TLC. Given the price we paid there were some small things that would’ve made a difference to how the property looked and felt. For instance having better quality toilet roll would be appreciated. But overall we really loved the facilities.

    The location was absolutely perfect. Two minutes walk away from a supermarket and only a couple more minutes to the beach. We couldn’t ask for a better location. I also loved that it was up in the bush and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortableand it was lovely to have a bath in the bathroom

    No extractor fan in the bathroom. Would have liked to have access to a mop. No place for clothes in the one bedroom.

    Loved the outside area with gas bbq. The gardens are gorgeous. Beds were very comfortable. It had everything needed in the kitchen. Nice and spacious enough for 6 people. The extra toilet was a big bonus.

    there was a paper stating extra charges for leaving property dirty, which I totally understand, but the floors were dirty when we got there and I worried we would be charged (we weren’t). property manager was so nice. description said washer and dryer but there wasn’t one in the room. it wasn’t until we were leaving that we saw it was in a separate building but the office.

    nice, spacious property

    Some amenities could do with upgrading, eg. toaster wasn’t working properly and shower didn’t drain very well when using it. However these are only small things that didn’t impact our stay!

    Property was bigger than expected and tucked away up a hill among trees, so you’re surrounded by greenery and wildlife. It was close to Countdown supermarket, beach and only 20 mins walk / 5 mins drive from main town (Paihia).
