This was our first time in New Zealand. We were greeted after a tiring drive from Auckland by our hosts and shown to a five star room with en-suite bathroom plus decking overlooking the swiming pool and lovely garden. Phil and Wendy were perfect hosts and gave us invaluable advice enabling us to plan the next stages of our journey... more

Had a wonderful few days at this B&B. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts, Phil & Wendy.

The accomodation was also fantastic (think Boutique Hotel standard) and if you wanted to use... more

Nice breakfast ( home baking ) and lots of... more

Decks of Paihia was one of our favorites in New Zealand in terms of the rooms, physical setup and location. Located on a hill behind the town, Decks may be a bit of a hike for some, but the location was extremely quiet and you felt "above the fray." The rooms were very large, roomy and light with modern decor,... more

Great place. Stylish, modern home a bit away from the heart of the town, but with a great view from the hills. Breakfast was very good each day and the owners were quite nice and good sources of information. more
