The location of this place is great, right in the heart of the town. I was disappointed by the size of the bed, possibly the smallest double I have ever slept in in my life. Good job my partner wasn't there. Great bathroom and shower ensuite though. The shared kitchen was a good size but lacked hobs and sinks for the amount of guest in the place. Outside there were good areas for sitting and reading etc, and a generally pleasant atmosphere, not too many on their laptops which I have experienced in other backpackers. Overall all fine for a a couple of nights stay in the Bay of Islands. My advice would be to bring earplugs as the Fire station next door can be incredibly noisy early in the morning.

fantastic - thanks”
Nice cozy room with a spacious front porch, beautiful view across Paihia & the bay if islands. Super friendly & fun owners. 5min walking distance to Paihia "downtown" (restaurants, cafes, shops etc.) & the wharf. We did enjoy our stay & would highly recommend this place. Cheers & thanks again

Value For Money”
We stayed in a room with twin beds and an ensuite. It also had a fridge. It was very noisy with people screaming in next room for our entire stay of 6 nights and people above us stomping on the floor. When we arrived the smell in our room was dreadful. Very musty and the smell never went away. We went to have a Spa in hot tub but it was quite dirty with hair and leaves and other stuff. Apart from that we would give it 8/10. The kitchen was very clean and other facilities good.

Great!!”
Everything was nice and clean! Super close to the beach and supermarket and KIWI Experience pick up/drop off (Wharf). They have a hottub and cheap bicycle and kayak rent. Nice balcony where you can chill in the sun. Just a very relaxed place in general.

Rooms are very noisy - facilities look clean”
Bed was so-so, either walls are thin or other guest are loud but should be okay with some noise when you’re sleeping here..

Very good”
Comfortable place in a cute town. The check in guy was very nice and accommodating but the young lady was a bit abrupt. Place is very clean and quiet enough for a relaxing stay!
