We were so impressed with this apartment, it had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were really comfy and the shower pressure was better than ours at home! Big bedrooms with plenty of wardrobe space, sliding patio doors on to the veranda. Each room had fans and heaters but we didn’t need them. Sadly we were stuck in for two days due to a tropical storm, gale force winds and heavy rain. We ventured to Kerikeri to the chocolate factory before it got too bad. Luckily the apartment had Netflix, Disney etc to help with entertaining the kids and there is also a retro dvd rental available from the office. When it was sunny the view across the bay was stunning, watching the sunrise with a coffee is a must. And we even saw the Milky Way one night. Staff were all super friendly and they’d thought of everything - clingfilm and tin foil was really handy to keep food or packs picnic. Plenty of toilet roll, fresh towels if you wanted them daily, dishwashing and washing machine facilities in the apartment including detergent too. There’s a good sized supermarket 5 minute walk away - we decided to cook at home every night as the kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. The town is a short 2 min drive or 15 min walk, plenty of free and paid for parking. Some lovely gift shops and a fab icecream shops and coffee shops. You can see the Waitangi treaty grounds from the apartment too - you must visit here, if we’d had time I would have gone back again to visit, so interesting. We booked a boat trip out to the hole in the rock which is definitely worth doing, especially the secret beach stop. I would just check on the weather as choppy seas were not pleasant for me as someone who suffers with sea sickness. On our last day we got the ferry to Russel and then took a 20 minute walk across the island to Oneroa Bay - great find. Was sheltered and clean, there are toilets and showers there and a small coffee van - so packs picnic if you plan to go for the day. Some shade under trees too.

We stayed in apartment 5A for 2 nights. We received a very warm welcome and was taken to the apartment (next to reception) and shown around. The accommodation is in a stunning location and has a good sized balcony overlooking the sea. A hot tub and BBQ is also on the balcony along with table and chairs. Our double room was very comfortable (super comfy bed) and the place was spotlessly clean. The apartments are a short walk into the small town of Paihia with its many restaurants and access to boat trips etc. The Waitangi Treaty Ground is a very short (2mins) drive away. Unfortunately we had atrocious weather but still enjoyed a whole day at the Treaty Grounds and managed a quick dip in the hot tub during our short stay. Super accommodation in a setting that is hard to beat anywhere.

“Lovely location with great views”

The apartment was fine although everything seemed a little tired. However, as the block was for sale perhaps it has been bought and refurbished by now? Great location and view, all the facilities you need but rather a lot of 'rules' to follow.

“Great view”

Had a one bedroom apartment for 4 days. Lovely view - and nice hot tub on the big veranda. Internally the decor and fittings are a little tired but well maintained with daily room service. The kitchen was also a bit dated and not everything worked perfectly but it was quite well equipped with coffee/tea etc supplied. Parking was tight - the drive is steep. Location & the view means we would be happy to stay here again.
