        Overpriced”

        There are many cabins and we stayed in one st the front on a hill overlooking Paihia. We felt this one was probably the best one as some lacked privacy particularly the one near where cars parked. Internet supply was very poor particularly late evening and night. The water pressure for shower was very poor. We have stayed in other places that cost less and were fabulous.
