Baywaterviews in Paihia provides adults-only accommodation with free bikes, a garden and a terrace. This bed and breakfast provides free private parking and luggage storage space. Guests can enjoy sea views. Despite the bad weather, we enjoyed our stay here. Mike was a great host and helped us with possible things to do. The private hot tub in the evening was perfect to end the day. Mike also prepared a fresh breakfast for us every morning. The place is just a few minutes by car from shopping/restaurants/beach and amazing nature (and waterfalls).
