Avalon, in a tranquil garden setting, offers self-catering cottages with free Wi-Fi and balconies overlooking the valley and the Puketotora River. It features a chemical-free outdoor swimming pool and spa facilities. The cottage was beautifully decorated and modern inside, with lots of character. The quiet, peaceful surroundings were fantastic. There was a gorgeous garden and there were ponds and bridges, which were fabulous for taking photos. There was a sauna, as well as an outdoor cold water swimming pool and even a jacuzzi too! The outdoor seating area was amasing!

Baywaterviews in Paihia provides adults-only accommodation with free bikes, a garden and a terrace. This bed and breakfast provides free private parking and luggage storage space. Guests can enjoy sea views. Mike and Wookie were the perfect hosts with the perfect home! We were so lucky we had the chance to stay with them and only wish we had more time. The space is fabulous, well equipped and very clean. The hot tub with the view made it so memorable. And having morning breakfast with Mike’s delicious food and Wookie keeping us company made us feel at home. If you’re lucky enough to snag an apartment here book it!

The Ash Grove is located in the Bay of Islands, just a 3-minute drive from the Paihia Waitangi waterfront. It offers free Wi-Fi and a peaceful garden setting with a large swimming pool.

All cottages and apartments at Ash Grove Motel open onto landscaped gardens. They are equipped with 32’’ flat-screen. Each has a small kitchen and guest laundry can be found on site. This motel is a special find - huge rooms, so clean, well appointed and comfortable. It has a complete kitchen, wonderful shower and comfortable beds. The best part is stepping out from your door to your own patio and right to the pool. This pool is not in a parking lot or by a street but surrounded by a beautiful garden and lawn. We enjoyed morning coffee poolside as well as Happy Hour. All units open to the pool. The couple running the motel is delightful, extremely helpful in planning activities, learning about the gardens, and making our stay exceptional.

Every thing was topnotch: A big room with a confy bed, the huge garden and last but not least a marvelous breakfast. The hosts were very kind and helpful, providing a list of restaurants, maps with informations about the surrounding and personal support about the airtraffic. There is really nothing to mention, what didn't work.
