    Super hosts, who made us feel very welcome and helped us with everything we needed for our stay. They even offered to drive us to the bus stop if we needed as it was hot and sunny when we visited.

    This is a good place to stay for access to Paihia and waitangi. The reception was good too. She knew we were coming for a wedding, so messaged to say we could check in earlier. The place was clean and tidy with everything we needed. We walked in...
