We had a pleasant stay here. We had the 2 bedroom unit. It was well equipped and comfortable. The carpets were a bit worn out and the dishwasher wasn't working.

Convenient to town and beach as well as affordable. Minor but there was a spiderweb up in the bathroom that may have been there for about a week. It's not a biggie but something that could be done about it

Management friendly and accommodating. Room very clean and comfortable. Location ideal for walking around the hub of Paihia. Only stayed overnight to go on a day tour. What I was able to see and do in a very short time frame was very impressed. Another “to come back and stay” on my list.
