Great location lovely place
We stayed for just over a week and found it perfect for what we needed. Located in the heart of Paihia, everything was in walking distance or a short drive. The place was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Host was very friendly and helpful. It was lovely we could have our small dog with us and made our stay even better.

Excellent location very well equipped and comfortable. If using pull down bed be aware of it's weight. Thought might be given for an extra cupboard for clothes if using this bed. Can recommend this property.

Wonderful Stay!
Robert’s apartment was ideal for our 9 day stay in Paihia. Loads of room in the apartment, and the location couldn’t have been better. We could walk to everything in town. The kitchen was well appointed, the bed was super comfortable, and the bathroom was updated. Robert was responsive to all our questions and most accommodating. We would definitely rent this spot again.

Stay at Pahia
We were comfortable but there was
no toilet paper, one tea bag, the TV didn't work. The cabin was comfortable but was not vacuumed. The beauty products were good. Unfortunately the people upstairs had a loud party on our last which was still going at 11.30.
