"The hotelier at reception placed us in a really stunning 2 bedroom apartment. It was up on the top floor, completely exposed to the sparkling waters of the beach directly across the road. The front of the apartment had large bi-fold doors which opened completely out to the roomy sunny balcony. We could see the Waitangi grounds while sitting relaxing with a glass of bubbly. Kitchen was very modern and well appointed with all the things to make for a relaxing stay. Lounge, bedrooms and bathroom all meticulously clean and modern. Loved the small touches of NZ made conscientious soaps. If I return to Paihia, I would definitely opt to stay here again, it's beautiful. The grounds were all neatly kept too. Staff are wonderful! Thank you for a memorable stay in this most pristine part of the north island."
