The house is located in Paihia in the quiet suburb of Te Haumi overlooking the Bay of Islands. Te Haumi is a 4 min drive from Paihia village with its beaches, many restaurants and the wharf for boat tours in the Bay of Islands. The car ferry to Russell is only a short drive away in Opua. The guest studio is at the back of the house and enjoys views of the bush and has amazing views across the bay over to Russell. You will have your own entrance, a private deck and your own en-suite bathroom.

The space
The newly decorated room has a queen sized bed, tea and coffee making facilities, cereals, a fridge and seating area, free WiFi, Freeview satellite TV and a walk in wardrobe. No guest access to the kitchen. The house has a ventilation system for constant air exchange and the windows in your room have insect screens. You can enjoy your coffee or a glass of wine on your private deck while soaking up the breathtaking scenery. You can even enjoy the views from the comfort of your bed! Watch and listen to the native birds such as Tui, wood pigeons and others in their natural habitat. Sorry no smoking on the premises.

Guest access
Please make sure you let me know your arrival time at least one day prior so I can make arrangements to be here. Check in times outside the set times can be arranged on request. Should I not be available I can give you the details for self check-in. Please note that you will need your own transport as there is no public transport here in Northland and walking to Paihia could be exhausting, over 3km's up and down hilly roads. You will be able to park your car off street in an allocated space.

During your stay
Depending on your arrival time I can be around to welcome you myself. I am usually around later in the day to help with any questions to make your stay in the beautiful Bay of Islands as enjoyable as possible.

Other things to note
I will provide complimentary tea, coffee, milk and a selection of cereals. A fridge, kettle, toaster and dishes are in the room.
On-site parking for one vehicle.
Please note there is no smoking on the premises.
