Just a short stroll to the water or into town

For the weekend getaway you can't beat this little bach which has just been renovated and comes with all you might need for just a couple of nights, or a week long stay!

Our bach is privately owned and the comforts of your own home have been replicated here.

On your arrival just be prepared to just relaxing as everything will be taken care of for you. This bach is all inclusive with linen, towels and extra bedding if you wanted a couple of extras on futons in the living area.

A short stroll to the closest beach of only 150 meters and a walk over the hill to the town of Paihia and ferry crossing to Russell.

The bach has an outdoor area (decking) and grassed area (that over time will be landscaped). There is also car parking.

No need to pack ample of clothing for the extra long stays as there is a washing machine within the bach. For those rainy days, indulge in a wide range of dvds available for your use.
Special conditions:
Some pets accepted. Message for further details and information.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$65.00 per stay); Linen (included);

Great stay in a little bay

A cute cottage,It is packed alongside similar cottages, so while you have a standard high fence it does leave some privacy to be desired. House was spotless with everything we needed. Great place would go again

We stayed here during dreadful weather, rain, wind and flooding. The house was great; we had everything we needed. When the weather finally improved, we loved the outdoor area. Will stay again.

A very nice place

A lovely stay if you’re traveling with a plus-one. A quirky yet comfortable environment that naturally encourages you to relax. Definitely most appropriate for short stays, with a nice location close to local food places + activities.

Great little Bach!

This small quirky little Bach was clean and had a well stocked kitchen. Very close to town, only a 5 minute drive from the little shops and from the harbour where you can get on numerous tours. Only complaint was that we had no communication with the owner. Checkin instructions on the app worked well. Didn’t know what to do with garbage or dirty towels. So we just left them. Regardless would recommend this as a place to stay during your visit to Paihia.

Beach Cottage getaway

A cozy little home base in the bay of islands! I will say to be aware if you don’t have a car, it’s quite a hike over a big hill to get into Paihia if you need food, internet, or to go on a tour. House was clean and well stocked!
