Thanks for a wonderful stay. Super location, just a 5 minute walk into town and a perfect central base from which to explore the Bay of Islands. Brett's communication was fantastic throughout. We loved the house itself. It met all of our needs. Steep driveway but we found it easy enough to manage. Easiest way is to reverse into the driveway from the street, and use the garage buzzer to go all the way up into the garage. Highly recommend this property!

Ladies 60th Birthday Celebration Trip
We loved the views from the accommodation and how accessible it was to the township of Piahia. We walked everywhere although we had our own transport. Two things to bear in mind the return walk to the house is very steep but a great workout after the extra bit of cake. The driveway was a tight squeeze for our hired Kia Carnival. Everything we needed was provided in the kitchen, games and DVDs. DDefinitely would stay againtigh

Enjoyed our stay at Sunny Spacious Seaview Stunner. The views of the Paihia harbour were beautiful, the house was clean and had all the kitchen and laundry equipment needed. The only downside was the bunk beds made noises when anyone moved. Thanks for having us.

We enjoyed the views and the convenient location. We liked that their was plenty of room, lots of towels, and nice cotton bedding. We appreciated the high level of cleanliness, the aircon and the two bathrooms. We loved the atmosphere of Waitangi Day, and relaxing in the sea and sun.

Paihia
We had a beautiful stay here in Paihia. Great location, beautiful home and super relaxing. Perfect base for day trips to Russell and up to Matauri Bay. Convenient to get into town but the house and views were so comfortable after days out that we were happy to relax and regroup. Only slight negative comment is that we found the upper bunk bed not suitable for an adult (even though my son is slight build) which we had assumed it might be so kids doubled up. Otherwise perfect stay.

Fabulous home and great views!
The photos don't do this gem full justice. Views from three balconies. Clean and well equipped kitchen and home. Ambient lighting was a treat compared to many others we have stayed at. Driveway took a little skill to maneuver, but we enjoyed the two car garage. We would highly recommend this home and hope to visit again.
