About this Holiday House

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.

Special Amenities

Te Haumi - the best suburb in Paihia. Very safe, friendly and very caring community. We see ourselves lucky to be part of this gem surrounded by palm trees, beaches having 6 months of summer!

Special Attractions and Activities Nearby

We're right between Paihia and the car ferry in Opua - both 5 minutes away. The next boat ramp is only 2 minutes away, right next to the Te Haumi river joining the ocean. You can launch your kayak down a path next door! Enjoy our brand-new second full guest bathroom! No more queuing in when getting ready in the morning. ;)

Elaine Ye
Lovely place to stay for holidays
Frances Hollis
What a wonderful place to stay. Michaela could not have been more helpful, responding promptly and with unfailing good humour, to our little queries. Added bonus, no problem charging my EV with easy access to an outdoor powerpoint, but do bring an extra extension cord as you will need the extra length Only one little niggle the driveway is steep and awkward to navigate but there is plenty parking in the street if you find it too difficult. 5 stars for a tranquil and comfortable place to stay
Response from Owner
Thanks so much for taking your time to review our place. :) wishing you a fantastic rest of the year ahead!
Kelly Pihema Berridge
Nice communicative host and the house was good for our extended family and close to Paihia town. Only issue was the very steep driveway that we couldnt drive down with our van which made things difficult and a bit dangerous. Other than that, we had a good stay.
Response from Owner
Thanks so much again for choosing our home. The driveway is well photographed and it's mentioned that a van won't be recommended to drive down. It is concrete and in perfect condition and many neighbouring properties have similar ones. It would be great if you could amend your booking the next time from 4 adults to 10 plus baby to have enough towels, spare sheets etc ready. Arriving with more guests than booked leaves us in a position where we simply cannot wow you as we would like to.
