Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony, Paihia Apartments is located in Paihia. The property features garden and inner courtyard views, and is 1.6 km from Te Ti Bay Beach. There is a picnic area and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station. I’ve stayed in many places around New Zealand, and I can honestly say this was the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed in — everything was spotless! Beyond the amazing cleanliness, the apartment had absolutely everything we needed — from a fully equipped kitchen with all the utensils to board games, puzzles, and even a washer and dryer. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the location couldn’t be better — just a few steps away from beautiful Paihia Beach. The host even provided a porta cot with bedding for our baby, which was such a thoughtful touch and made our stay even more comfortable. Thank you so much — we would stay here over and over again! Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area

Baywaterviews in Paihia provides adults-only accommodation with free bikes, a garden and a terrace. This bed and breakfast provides free private parking and luggage storage space. Guests can enjoy sea views. Mike and Wookie were the perfect hosts with the perfect home! We were so lucky we had the chance to stay with them and only wish we had more time. The space is fabulous, well equipped and very clean. The hot tub with the view made it so memorable. And having morning breakfast with Mike’s delicious food and Wookie keeping us company made us feel at home. If you’re lucky enough to snag an apartment here book it!
