“Delighted to be back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2013

We first stayed here a few years ago, and had a delightful time, so this time we made sure to organise a few days at Baystay to relax, enjoy the delightful ambience, and rest after a long, demanding driving tour of the rest of New Zealand. The hot tub on the balcony is the best place possible to unwind and rest after a long day's drive up the North Island! We just couldn't be more comfortable, welcomed, and pleased to be back here.

The decor is modern, restrained, and very comfortable - the big living-room has everything you could want for entertainment, and there's free wifi as well. There's airconditioning in all rooms, although in hot weather, once the sun has moved around the house, the best place to be is sitting out on the balcony at the back. There's always a delicious cool breeze!

If you're childfree and looking for a quietly luxurious place to stay a scant five minutes' drive from Paihia, this would be ideal.

Room Tip: There are only three rooms, and they're all very comfortable and beautifully fitted-out, but the...

“Wonderful place and great hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013

Baystay is a wonderful place to stay. We stayed here for 6 nights and a great time. It is close to Paihia. Nick and Rob are very hospitable and nice guys to talk to. Their help with excursions and places to eat are very good. The bereakfasts are lovely as well.
The views from the B&B are gorgeous.

Room Tip: We had the River view room, which is probably the best.

“Relaxing weekend break.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

Had a really lovely last minute weekend break here. The room was small but perfectly formed. Gorgeous big bathroom. Clean and very comfortable. Loved the communal area and the decking out the front with gorgeous views, perfect to relax with a glass of wine in the evening. Breakfasts were fab and our hosts couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. Slightly out of the way from Paihia if you want a few drinks in the evening with dinner but perfect for sightseeing during the day. Slightly more expensive than we had wanted to pay but you get what you pay for so definitely worth the extra few bucks.

“Brilliant B & B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

From the moment we arrived until the time we left we were made to feel very welcome by the excellent hosts Nick & Rob. Nothing was too much trouble and they gave us good advice of where to eat, what to see etc. The room was comfortable and clean and the breakfast was superb, particularly the home made kiwi jam which was brill! The B & B is situated on a hill with great views of the surrounding countrytside and the river below. We would highly recommend Bayside B & B to anyone visiting this area.

Room Tip: There are 3 rooms at the Bayside all appear to be equally as good..
