Idyllic
A delightful place to stay. Very clean and restful with lovely views and short easy walk to the beach. The large deck provides great outdoor living space. Even though it is a unit attached to the main house, it is private and quiet. Owners are friendly and helpful if anything is needed.

Fantastic Accomodation
Fantastic accommodation, location and owners. Everything we could need and such a helpful property manager. Jane’s husband David even offered to drive us into Paihia for the early morning foot ferry to Russell. Highly recommended.

A great little gem in Paihia
Jane and Dave were wonderful hosts and did everything possible to go out of their way to make our stay great - and a bonus they have a gorgeous little dog! It’s really close to town,has everything you need and has a wonderful view. We really loved the quality of the bed linen, great touch :). The only minor negatives- 1. The deck catches the afternoon wind, which meant we weren’t able to sit out there like we’d have liked too. 2. It’s well furnished but it does make the room a little cramped - but moving bits out of the way helped with that :) Would definitely stay again!

Paihia 3 night stay
We had a great time here. The place was extremely clean. The view from the day bed was unparalleled and access to the private beach was a huge plus at it cut the walking time to town in half versus walking down the road. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous beachfront property!
This was my first stop on a whirlwind tour of New Zealand in celebration of my 60th birthday and it could not have been more perfect. The property is absolutely beautiful with an unbelievable view of both the ocean and the night sky. It is very well maintained, sparklingly clean, and Jane was a very thoughtful and available host who made the extra effort to inquire as to what type of milk we preferred so she could leave a bottle in the fridge. She also left a lovely bottle of champagne for us to celebrate with! The front porch is even more beautiful in person than it shows in the pics online, with a double day bed to lounge in while looking at the ocean or the night sky. Absolutely perfect all the way around!

About the host

Hosted by Jane Stearns

Host profile image
We have had the privilege of calling Aotearoa New Zealand our home for over 20 years. Originally from the UK we love meeting international travelers and ensuring they have the best possible time during their stay in Paihia.

Why they chose this property

No matter what photo we take - we cannot do justice to the stunning view across the water to Russell as many who stay with us attest to. The Bay of Islands is very laid back - life moves at a slower pace here and there is a community feeling and friendliness that we love.

What makes this property unique

We have a truly beachfront unit with no road, no property, between us and the beach. A small footpath leads onto the beach with safe swimming. Relaxing on the daybed and watching the yachts and boats go by as well as occasional dolphins is a true joy.
