GermanyThe hotel is very close to the ocean, so I could watch the sun rise every morning.
Also, Pubs and Restaurants are very close, serving the most delicious breakfasts and Dinners.
The Garden of the Hotel was a great, beautiful surprise to me. Birds singing was part of that paradise experience.

From
New ZealandI’d love to recommend this amazing place because more people definitely need to know about it!
It is an incredibly stylish, spotless, and thoughtfully designed home. I travelled solo, and it was the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the tranquillity.
The breakfast was simply delightful. It truly added a cosy and cheerful touch to my mornings.
Every little detail has been carefully considered, making it feel just like home. The location is equally fantastic – surrounded by nature yet conveniently close to Kerikeri and Paihia.
If you’re looking for a place to relax, enjoy comfort, and experience a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this is absolutely worth a visit. I’d happily return again!

Pahia is a lovely area, well worth a few days or more depending on what you want to do, definitely do one of the Bay of Islands 1/2 day boat trips. A brilliant selection of restaurants in town. A beautiful place.Guest review byJoAustralia - 10.0

We decided to stay seven nights in Kerikeri and use this as our base to explore further North and East. This was the smart thing to do, because being at the tail end of Winter entering Spring, the weather fluctuates a lot. We timed being able to visit places when the weather was fine, and the bonus was there were hardly any tourists. Avalon Resort was a lovely place to stay, to simply relax and enjoy reading a good book on the rainy days!Guest review byAAustralia - 10.0

I have been to Russell a couple of times before but only as day visits so to be honest Ive only stayed in the little township itself but loved that. This time I stayed a night to attend a function. The motel was the icing on the cake because where you stay can make or break a stay anywhere. The view of the harbour below with boats anchored..you couldn't beat. I want to come back..and my friend and I intend to. It's handiness was great. Great afternoon of shopping..something for everyone & delightful 'The Grazing table' cafe for home cooked sweets with delicious coffee. Would have liked to spend more time in the fabulous looking book store..great looking coffee table books on display but I ran out of time. There is something for everyone here. Russell town can easily be walked around in a short time without stopping..but who wants to do that. It's a lovely, interesting quaint place with a lovely harbour looking over to Paihia where you go to connect to main highway..eventually. A day passenger ferry runs regularly from Paihia & to. There are other areas to visit over the hill and the car ferry over from Opua is very quick and efficient. And least but not forgotten..the fantastic Duke of Marlborough hotel and accomodation with its elegance gracing the shoreline is a highlight. I had a lovely evening supportng the Recuse Helicopters fundraising event..it was spent under gorgeous chandelier lighting with all the simple but lovely table settings. Surely a grand gentleman which began in 1827 as 'Johnny Johnsons Grog Shop' by an ex convict come good!Guest review byYvonneNew Zealand - 10.0
I would highly recommend staying at Waters Edge.
I would highly recommend staying at Waters Edge. It was amazing to wake up each day to the view of the water and the sound of the birds. The home is a short walk along the track to Opua marina area. I believe that you can also walk the same track to Paihia although we ran out of time to do this. A close car ride to Paihia. There are plenty of tourist attractions to see.Guest review byannaNew Zealand - 10.0
This was a lovely place to stay.
This was a lovely place to stay. We were warmly welcomed by our hosts and everything we needed was provided. It was a real treat to stay here. We visited the Treaty Grounds, just down the road for a cultural and historical education. We hiked to waterfalls and mangrove forests. We caught the car ferry and visited Russell on the coast.Guest review byKathy ForsdykeUnited Kingdom - 10.0
Paihia is absolutely stunning.
Paihia is absolutely stunning. I visited most recently in Winter and loved taking the kids over to Russell to see some true NZ history. But the first time I visited was Summer and that is when you should definitely visit. Its out of this world. Great food outlets, pubs, walks and views. What a true paradise!Guest review byBrendonNew Zealand - 10.0

Our stay at Little Wine Time was fantastic! The accommodation is sensational with breathtaking views, modern decor and everything you need for that special stay. Monique was delightful and welcoming. We would stay for at least a week next time, it’s truly beautiful.Guest review byCat_Woman62Australia - 10.0

A beautiful serene village. You need to be prepared to walk & explore the area. Lovely places to eat & drink - our most favourite is Hones Kitchen. Getting out on the water in a boat is an added bonusGuest review byPeterNew Zealand - 8.0

I have family roots in Waitangi, but when I decided to take my granddaughter (11yrs) and grandson (09yrs) to take a look at our waka, it was going to cost me $35.00 per head (adults) x2 just for my grandkids to see our canoe. I was saddened by this. I have a lot of good memories of Paihia and one of them is picking pipi's. Nice beach, kids friendly as long as supervised by an adult.Guest review byWaaNew Zealand - 10.0
