Homestays in Paihia

This is a very amazing experience! The house is very large, the facilities are also great, and the courtyard is beautiful. We met the hosts, who were very friendly and enthusiastic.They even made dumplings for us to celebrate Chinese New Year. This makes us feel very warm. I highly recommend this place to everyone. 谢谢！新年快乐！

Friendly, informative hosts; lovely views from balcony where breakfast with delicious homemade breads was served.

We loved our night away here, wish we could have stayed longer. Great spot, lovely room. Nice people

Absolutely loved staying here , so cozy and warm. The little details make a big difference. It was pouring with rain when we got there and the host pre heated it for us can't thank you enough.

Very quiet within walking distance of the beach. Nice view from upper balcony Very comfortable with plenty to visit in the region

Beautiful, comfortable accommodation for two with a spectacular outlook in a beautiful and quiet location, and amazing hosting, make this one of the best accommodations we've ever enjoyed in NZ. This is a self-contained accommodation unit for two in a quiet location adjoining the host's house. The unit is new, beautifully furnished, well-appointed and very comfortable. The view overlooks Opito Bay from a height, and has a spectacular outlook into the wider Bay of Islands with outside dining and sun loungers. Alan is a generous and very thoughtful host who has created a wonderful guest experience full of detailed touches to make a comfortable, easy stay. There is a toaster, microwave and Weber BBQ, but it's worth noting is that the unit doesn't have full self-catering facilities: it lacks a hob, oven and kitchen sink. But Alan more than makes up for this - he does the washing-up, and provides a beautiful array of breakfast supplies every morning, including plenty of delicious fresh fruit. There's delightful complementary selection of cold drinks in the fridge on arrival, and an assortment of tasty snacks. It's absolutely outstanding! The location in Opito Bay is quiet, about 15 minutes from Kerikeri. There's a small network of beautiful trails through the bush around the end of the peninsula walkable from the unit, with a spectacular view at the lookout and a beautiful sheltered cove for swimming and snorkelling on the north side. The Kerikeri peninsula is a hotspot for kiwi, and we heard one close to the unit one night.

Really nice place. We got there pretty late and we’re easily able to get in. Bathroom was amazing. Lots of lovely little touches like moisturizer, cookies, coffee, and reading material.

Clean, friendly, helpfull and very clear communication! We recieved help in planning our next days and some brochures. The only thing is the village KawaKawa is nothing special but this accomodation and the owners certainly are worth staying Here.

Lovely spot - very comfortable and quite. Check in was super easy and great communication from the hosts. Very spacious and even nicer than the photos. ~5 min drive to town so very close. Would stay again and highly recommend.

Stacey our host was friendly and so helpful. She went out of her way to provide us ironing facilities and to sort a mix-up with a double payment. The view from the room was breathtaking in a quiet and peaceful setting. We highly recommend Top of the Bay (it truly is!!) and would definitely return.
