Situated in Paihia in the Northland region, Paihia Place Cottage - central Paihia has a patio. The air-conditioned accommodation is less than 1 km from Te Ti Bay Beach, and guests can benefit from on-site private parking and complimentary WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 11 km from Opua Forest. We liked the location and the rustic beach cottage. There was a great tip sheet for exploring the local fare and activities. We liked the private quiet setting. We felt very welcome with flowers and welcome sign.

Set in Paihia and only 1.2 km from Te Ti Bay Beach, Allegra House offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. With garden views, this accommodation provides a balcony. This 4-star bed and breakfast offers private entrance. This is a special place to stay - the views from our room over the bay were spectacular. We enjoyed breakfast on the terrace and exploring the islands. Brita and Heinz are generous hosts and nothing is too much trouble. Our room was spacious and well equipped. This has to be one of the best places I have stayed.
