Room was well equipped and spotless. Hosts were extremely welcoming and accommodating allowing us to have a sea view room for part of the stay (surcharge payable) and looked after our bags on our departure date as our return was later that day. A great spot, less than a 5 minute stroll to the centre of Paihia, spacious and very well equipped accommodation. Would definitely recommend, but book a sea view room as the view over the water to Russell is stunning.
