Apartment vacation rentals in Paihia

Had an awesome stay! The place was clean, well set up, and just as described. The view from the deck was beautiful. The host was easy to communicate with and check-in was smooth. Definitely recommend!

Antje's place is a real gem. It is ideally located for exploring the Bay of Islands and is super comfortable. Antje is a wonderful host, with many local recommedations. We loved our stay and hope to be back. Highly recommended!

Absolutely stunning Airbnb, one of if not the best we’ve ever stayed in (we’re doing a round the world trip so have stayed in a lot by now)! It was absolutely pristine, we felt like we were checking into a 5* hotel with the quality of the beds, linens, towels etc. It is genuinely nicer than the photos and more spacious, and it was so appreciated that Anita had some provisions and snacks like milk, chocolates, crisps and fruit there for us when we arrived. Anita is lovely and so friendly! She kindly greeted us at check in, showed us around and how everything works, and gave us some fantastic local recommendations which we did and thoroughly enjoyed, in particular the coastal trail to Paihia and getting the car ferry across the bay to go to Russell. The views over the bay, watching the boats come and go, are stunning. We didn’t use the BBQ that’s on the balcony but would have if we’d stayed longer, which I wish we had! Overall we couldn’t fault this place, and HIGHLY recommend staying

The location is perfect, just a few meters from the beach. We really enjoy the balcony and the spaciousness of the apartment. While it is starting to show its age and could benefit from some renovations soon, it is still in good living condition. The host couple is very friendly.

A wonderful place to stay, high recommend!! The bed is so comfortable. Location is far away from town to have peace but close enough for convenience to good restaurants, cafes, supermarket etc.

Very good place, better than what it looks from the pictures.

We had a wonderful stay at Shelley’s place the house was exactly as described but even better inside than we expected. We loved having fresh eggs and bread on arrival along with fruit and lots of other goodies. Shelley was so helpful and kind our entire stay and always in touch immediately when we need to ask something. The location is only a 20 min walk into town along the beach or over the the hill depending on the tides. It’s a great place to stay to explore the Bay of Islands!

Lovely place, with everything you need. Pretty view towards the coast.

A wonderful place! Very clean and tidy 👍 The house is located in a secluded area - very quiet and beautiful. Incredible views of the local fields and an old church. A big thank to the hosts for their warm and sincere hospitality. They provided everything needed for a full breakfast - including fresh feijoa! 😋 We highly recommend this lovely place for a peaceful and cozy stay! 🙌

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Joan's. Beautiful views, nice and very clean. Quiet and provided everything you need. Highly recommend and would stay again when passing by.

This was a top 3 Airbnb experience - and we’ve been to a lot of Airbnbs! Everything was immaculate and tastefully / uniquely decorated. Things that stood out: GREAT linens - this went from bedsheets to towels to dish towels. And Sheenah thought of every little detail - the unit has everything we needed and more. She also left thoughtful surprises like a little jar of local honey. Couldn’t recommend this place enough! We’d love to come back!

Our stay at Three Ferns was the perfect escape in the long weekend break, going above and beyond our expectations. This elegant place is spacious, private and thoughtfully curated, with comforting treats provided by Mary. The surrounding nature made us feel very grounded and relaxed. The pictures in the listing are exactly as they are in real life - it truly is spectacular and delightful! Our trip was interrupted by our car unexpectedly breaking down, and Mary was incredibly kind and helpful in assisting us - picking us up, dropping us off and even providing us with a delicious pumpkin soup! Thank you Mary for being such an absolutely amazing host, you really are a lovely human being and we appreciate all your support while we were there. We hope to be back sometime again, and would definitely recommend this stay to our family, friends and anyone wanting a 5 star experience.

What a fabulous place to stay! A beautiful location overlooking the bay. We saw two orca in the bay on our first night, which was amazing. The accommodation is wonderful. Fabulous furnishings with beautiful sculptures and art on the walls. We arrived to find a selection of wines, chocolates, home-made biscuits and granola, as well as some wonderful ham, cheese, OJ and other useful fridge staples. Communication with Heather was great, with plenty of helpful information about the local area. Absolutely perfect - thank you!

We were extremely comfortable here in this apartment and the attention to detail in accommodating guests was excellent. We fully appreciated the excellent design of the place, including the layout, the double glazed windows and doors, the lighting and the beautifully appointed kitchen. The filtered water from the fridge was an absolute bonus. We both agreed that the beds were among the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in and the outlook was lovely. The large verandah gave us a really great sense of space. We loved staying here and would have been happy to stay longer.

We got in late and left early, so wasnt to phased about quality. It was cheap, warm and comfortable

we enjoyed our stay at Frances Mary’s place. It is a handy location and walkable into town if the weather is kind. It wasn't kind for us. We loved all the little niknaks. The kitchen was well equipped. We would recommend this place for any couple wishing to stay at Whangarei.

Great place and host，will come back if visiting tutukaka again.

Lovely place nestled in the hills of Russell. Little drive into the main town but nice relaxed area. Place was spacious. There are a few other rooms but not really an issue. Views are great.

Great location - walkable to Paihia waterfront but away from the bustle of the main road. It was very clean and had everything we needed including kitchen utensils. The bathroom was nice and spacious with the spa being a very nice bonus.

Back home in Wellington but wish I was still at Paul and Nuttha's. Paul and Nuttha were great hosts and their place was amazing; gorgeous garden, good location and an immaculately presented place that was comfortable with all the trimmings. The beds were so comfy it was easy to drop off after a day of sightseeing. Excellent amenities (bathroom, kitchen, tea/coffee & breakfast stuff, parking, TV etc.). Paul and Nuttha are thoughtful hosts who were welcoming, accommodating and generous. Nuttha's cakes are the best and Paul's tips on what to see and do are saved us a lot of time. We were even able to pick persimmons to take home and Paul let us take cuttings from his garden! Will definitely book again if I'm up there again in the future. Thank you Paul and Nuttha for the lovely stay!

Truly excellent stay, Ian and Sue were lovely and the apartment so comfy and clean. We can’t wait to stay there again. Definitely do not miss the sunrise and the hidden beach!

Room with a view for sure! It’s right on a very pretty beach, but up a few stairs so there’s privacy. The room is very spacious, it’s good a great little kitchen at one end, and a modern bathroom. There’s a nice patio to sit out on and enjoy the view, would recommend for those wanting a beach space.

Great place, fantastic views, and the hot tub was very useful for relaxing after a hard days touring. Andrew was very friendly and helped explain lots of things. Just be mindful of the 30 stairs up from the garage to the unit..... If it's available next time we visit we will be back.
