Great stay in a cosy apartment

Lovely apartment, very clean and very cosy. Great facilities and very comfortable bed. The candles and the spa bath made for a very relaxing stay!

The hill! Although worth it for the lovely views.

Very romantic getaway close to town

Very easy. We came in late so they messaged us beforehand to let us know where we could get the key if the office wasn't open. Very friendly and helpful.

We couldn't find a ligher for the candles. :) But in all honestly, there was not anything to really complain about. Was a lovely stay, quiet, and my partner and I had a wonderful time.

Infortunately not the 5* luxury stay we paid good money for.

Complimentary fridge items and coffee machine. bathrobes were nice.

Property was neglected. Deck was cluttered and dirty, trees blocked the view that we paid for. Toilet leaked and was noisy. Shower had black mould on tiles. Air con in bedroom didn’t work. Bed was uncomfortable and headboard wasn’t attached. Noise from apartment above dictated our lack of sleep. We paid good money for a luxury weekend away and felt utterly disappointed.

In need of a deep clean.

The bed was large and extremely comfortable. The same goes for the bathtub. And the drinks in the fridge were a nice touch.

However the unit itself was very dark and humid, with an overpowering musty smell (mildew or mould). The unit wasn’t clean all that well either as we found a pair of someone else’s underwear under the bed as we were packing up. And Parking is a bit of mess here too, especially with a larger vehicle.

potentially great location, but cyclone Gabrielle cut short my stay so not really able to assess my stay

“Potentially” location (but steep drive from wharf, & my apartment on side (no sea view). comfortable bed & shower. unfortunately had to cut short my stay (cyclone Gabrielle) so never really appreciated facility.

steep hill to facility precluded opportunity NOT to drive in to eat each evening. comfortable, but “tired” looking location (COVID I guess).

Spacious, light well appointed 1 bedroom apartment with well equipped kitchen and washing machine. Stunning view from balcony over Bay of Islands. Friendly management.

Bed was uncomfortable - if you moved or rolled over the mattress bounced the other person around, so badly it could wake them up. Dryer didn't seem to work. Very steep walk from Paihia to apartment. Not suitable for people with any knee problems or small children. We had to drive quite a bit because of the difficulty walking, but parking very limited in Paihia.

Luxurous 3 night stay over Xmas

Very luxurious and clean apartment. Good location near town centre (via a steepish hill). Spa bath was fab, appreciated inclusion of bath salts, candles and matches. Generous coffee/tea/mini bar supplies. Indsutrial washing facilities.

AC not working in bedroom when weather was very hot, not notified in advance and no discount offered for this which was a bit disappointing. Upstairs had TV on loud after quiet hours and the ceilings are thin. I note from a prior review other guests have had similar problems, would suggest including the quiet hours in the welcome letters (particularly for room 3).

Great location for Paihia and Bay Of Islands, if you don’t mind an uphill walk back from the restaurants!

Lovely position, but it is as the top of a steep hill. Was OK for us, but may be limiting for others. Other than that, it’s a convenient location for walking into Paihia. Well equipped, nicely laid out, plus there was a washing machine and dryer

Important to realise that these apartments were originally a single house, and so the sound insulation isn’t up to hotel standards. The folks upstairs weren’t too noisy but even when they walked about during the night it was noticeable downstairs. Note that this is in a very quiet location generally though, so all sounds stand out. In particular though, the bathroom noise of water running was quite loud, but nothing compared to when our upstairs neighbour decided to run the bath and then have a long jacuzzi at 6AM!

Exactly what I needed

I loved almost everything, the view, the set up, the bath, the art, the fireplace.

The only thing I didn't like was the headboard not being attached to the bed so every movement made the headboard bang on the wall.

Very relaxing, quiet Paihia stay.

Comfortable and peaceful apartmen with plenty of space. Lovely jacuzzi bath and good toiletries. Nice complimentary fridge items.

Slightly ageing & in need of some minor maintenance but characterful & stylish accommodation ‘Smart’ tv not brilliant at times and kept buffering. Bedroom tv was dvd only - could have done with freeview. Shame it’s not walkable into town.

Wow will come back

The view, the suite, the quietness and peacefulness around is no sounds of cars. Will recommend this for anyone who wants a quite night, want to spend time with their partner and be away from the buzz.
