Stay was most enjoyable with a Wendy and Phill going out of their way with advise on places to visit. Room and breakfast were first class. Great place in the summer as the pool is an added bonus, good parking with lots day access. Phill thank you for the Mapua Cove recommendation so nice.
My friend & I had a super stay for three nights. Comfortable accommodation, amazing breakfasts, congenial hosts who go the extra mile to help, they offer self laundry service, book tickets & tours for you. You really need a car as up the hill in Paihia but some of restaurants offer drop off service. Paihia is a pretty place and a good location to see the area which has many wonderful natural & tourist attractions. Thank you Phil & Wendy super stay.
We have enjoyed our stay with Phil and Wendy (who are really good hosts) very well, room and location was perfect - just a stroll down the hill towards the village. And a breakfast we still miss regularly!
The property is at a height and is very posh. The breakfast was out of the world. The best part is when we said we are vegetarian, Wendy offered us to make a delicious gourmet dish for us which included fresh mushrooms, tomatoes, asparagus, all from their farm. The fresh fruits included strawberry from their farm. It was an ultimate farm to table experience. Cannot ever forget the raspberry friands which Wendy had prepared. The breakfast spread was super. Thanks a lot to Phil for waiting for us till late in night as our flight was rescheduled. Thanks to both of you Super hosts, we enjoyed the stay at lot.
We spent two nights at this wonderful lodge,which is perfect for visiting the Bay of Islands and the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Phil is a really funny host. You can have good conversations with him. The view on the bay is wonderful.
