Great size and good location
Outside lacked any maintenance. Very overgrown.
Maybe seal the driveway so that it can be used .

Paihia Retreat is spacious and reasonably private. It had all that we needed for our stay. Communication was excellent and our host was very accomodating for the needs of our group - thank you for this.
The driveway was tricky - we had a lot of heavyish sports gear and on the last day packing on the slope was a bit of a mission.
Would not recommend for people with mobility issues.

Location location location. Paihia Retreat is in an amazing spot looking across a lovely valley. It is well set up and equiped for a family stay. We had mostly great weather and spent most of our time on the beautiful rear deck looking over the valley. Even when it rained it was beautiful to look out over the valley. It’s walking distance to the centre of Paihia. A great spot!
There were some parts that needed refreshing. The curtains on the master bedroom jam when you pull them across, and didn’t block out the morning light very well. The couch, while comfortable, has a ‘distressed’ look (is shedding its faux leather exterior). The laundry powder container, was empty. But all of that was pretty insignificant, when we could spend time looking out over the beautiful view.

Very clean and well equipped. Bed was comfortable.
The disgraceful condition of the backyard. It is an overgrown mess. The driveway is extremely steep. Desperately needs to be concreted. The gravel surface is not good. We drove down and had to use 4wd to reverse out. I wouldn’t recommend going down if you are not confident in your hand brake. If you do, reverse down. Mosquitoes were a problem. The windows don’t have insect screens and there was no bug spray for biting insects or the cockroaches. Each bedroom needs a fan and working bedside lamps.

Great location, comfortable beds, excellent communication.
9.0 / 10.0
The property was great & very spacious. There were 4 of us but it could have easily accommodated 6. It had a great deck looking over bush & you could hear kiwis at night. Only a 5 minute drive into town for restaurants etc. Having 2 bathrooms was essential & everything was there to make the stay comfortable.
The driveway was....challenging. We went down it once to drop off baggage & after that parked at the top & walked down. It was steep & had gravel. However that would not be enough to make us not stay again.

Morning and afternoon sun. Peaceful. Nice view of trees. Great deck. Dogs allowed. Good location. Washer and drier. Dishwasher.
Tricky driveway. No umbrella or shade on the deck.
8.0 / 10.0
The property was quite nestled in the hills and we enjoyed the birds visiting on the deck and the bush views. Good having bathroom and ensuite for our family.
We were told the driveway was steep, but it was really extremely steep. Our vehicle could not get all the way down and back up and one of our family had mobility issues so was a challenging week.
8.0 / 10.0
Driveway was dangerous and pretty much not useable and would strongly factor in a decision to stay there again despite everything else being perfect.
9.0 / 10.0
We loved the tranquil bush location and views, easy downhill stroll to shops and waterfront, nice cafes and places to eat. Home was spacious, clean and tidy.
Communication with host was very good.
The downhill driveway is steep, but it can easily accommodate two cars without having to navigate the awkward bend at the bottom. Easy once you have parked there a couple of times.

Be mindful of the driveway as it is narrow and gravel
