Unique Estuary & Bird Apartment in Te Haumi Paihia

PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION COMPLETELY


Enjoy your stay in Paihia in our super comfy semi-rural family home. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac street, with a stunning view over the native bush and you can see the Te Haumi river meandering through the mangroves.

Far away from the big city noise but so close to town for excursions, restaurants, adventures, history and even if it's just for drinks.

Ferries just 5 min away, boat ramp just 2 min away! Perfect family home!

We got already 70 plus excellent reviews from other booking websites - don't hesitate to book now.

Our house sleeps easily 10 adults (2 in each room plus living room), and we have one small rollaway available, the couch can be used as a sleeping spot and we have a cot on request. If you book for 12 adults, be aware this is just a 4 bedroom house. We had many groups staying that were active outdoors all day and only retired for the night - so this comes then as a bargain.

Otherwise, you can easily sleep 8 adults and 4 children (the bunk bed is a regular single mattress on top, double mattress and move-out trundler) plus rollaway bed in wardrobe and cot in wardrobe. Please note, that the amount of bathrooms stays the same: 1 toilet, one bathroom and one shower with toilet.

Both rollaway and cot free of charge but please let us know you require them to be set up and we happily assist with this.

Beautiful peaceful location

Very clean and with lovely ascetics. Beautiful views from the deck. Truly lovely. Very Helpful friendly hosts who let us use their hair dryer and straightener. Much appreciated. Comfortable beds. Only a minor issue for me on one of the single beds with the sheets. I wondered if the sheets were synthetic as they felt very hot.

Wonderful Bach

A really lovely Bach with everything you need and helpful hosts. There's a big, rambling garden below and there's also a walking track at the end of the driveway. Paihia and the car ferry to Russell are both just a short drive away.

Great place to stay

Great place to stay if you have pets or not, I find allot of places that allow dogs are dirty and old, this is not the case at all here! very clean you would not know they allow dogs and modern. Also lots of not expected extras provided which is great :) Thank you

Peaceful Paihia

We enjoyed staying at this property about 5mins drive from Paihia. It was a tidy, modern property that was well stocked with towels, toiletries and kitchen basics. We were expecting a 4 bedroom standalone house but it was 3 bedroom with the owners staying underneath. Garden was lovely with deck to sit on to hear the tuis. Host was very friendly and helpful and provided fresh eggs and milk.
