Waterviews and relaxation

Beds were super comfy, rooms were spacious and clean, carparking is shared driveway, large big deck with view of water and tress, large lounge and kitchen area. No laundry. Noting that there is a connected door from the owners house to the lounge area, that was always locked and closed. It did not impact on our stay. Highly enjoyed our stay here. Recommended.

Comfortable house. Great deck and view. Easy access to Paihia and Bay of Islands.

Lovely

Beautiful, clean property with a lovely host. 5 minute drive to Paihia wharf and shops. Plenty of space indoors and out. Quiet spot with an awesome view of the river.

We were looking for a quiet spacious place for a break.Margaret's place ticked all the boxes and we would recommend this little haven to all.

Thank you for a fantastic stay, great communication and very relaxing start to our vacation!

Very private and quite with a calming view of the river

Great access to Paihia/Waitangi or Kerikeri and the north. Peaceful and quiet with a great out look over the river. Clean, tidy and well appointed. Margret is a super host.

The host, Margaret, was very friendly and helpful, the property was very good and the location was delightful. Overall, a great place to stay

Nice view, comfy house. Easy check in and lovely host. We were unaware how close the host and her dogs live. But it wasn’t an issue. Great stay. Thanks for having us.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was a lot better and bigger than we expected! For our stay, everything was clean. The only note about cleanliness is that while the bedding/towel was clean, it did seem dusty… maybe suggest bringing your own towel / pillows for comfort. Another point was that I struggled to get into contact with the host and didn’t receive any confirmation/check-in details in the days before the booking. The morning of the booking, I only just managed to get into contact with her, in which she didn’t know that we were coming (although everything was ready for us). However! She is really welcoming and pleasant… I believe there is just miscommunication on Vrbo’s part. Her phone number wasn’t available directly on the booking however I asked the help chat for it (although note that this is her personal mobile which she doesn’t have with her all the time & also you MUST CALL). Other than these points e.g. uneasiness with communication in the beginning & somewhat dusty bedding, this spot is well-worth your money. Views are incredible and location is superb - it has everything you need.

Terrace with stunning view

Lovely home with a caring, helpful host. Enjoyed the expansive views across the river valley. Not far from Paihia by car and Mr Google easily found the way. All day sun with a great deck. We were looking for a restful place to stay for a few days and it ticked all our boxes.

We had a great time visiting the Paihia area and the house was beautiful with the most breathtaking views. However, we had some major concern about cleanliness and how often the house actually gets cleaned. It was difficult to get hold of the property manager prior to checking in. I have since reached out to make her aware of my concerns with the house and have yet to receive any acknowledgement or apology. The property manager / assumed owner also stays on the property with you effectively sharing a house. She stays on the one side that is accessed via a door in the house. She was very quiet and it didn't bother us at all, but it would have been great to know that at the time of booking. Overall we enjoyed our stay and made the best of it, but they seriously need to consider regular cleaners.

Thankyou so much for a beatiful stay. Would definately recommend and would definitely return. Thanks so much

We loved our stay there. The place was peaceful and the view was amazing. It was a perfect getaway for our little family.
