Stayed in apartment 7 in October 2012. Was very well set up and equipped. The view was spectacular and two very pleasant evenings were spent on the balcony soaking up the local ambience. I highly recommend this as a place to stay.

We stayed here for two nights in Oct 2012, the apartment we stayed in was very spacious with plenty of room for four adults. It is very nicely decorated and clean, but the best thing is the views from the balcony, stunning! There is also a BBQ on the balcony which is really nice way to enjoy the views.

We stayed in Apartment 6 (3 rooms - 1KB, 1DB, 2SB) which is on the 2nd floor. I will say that if you cannot navigate stairs, this will not work for you, but the unobstructed view from the wraparound balcony is stunning - you can see the Waitangi Treaty Grounds.
The apartment has a full kitchen (fridge/freezer, microwave, oven, cooktop, dishwasher), lounge room, dining room and a washer/dryer (which made the apartment shake when it was on). The balcony has a BBQ and a hot tub (although the weather was too cool for us to use either!)
Whilst the apartments are not in the centre of Paihia (you could walk, I wouldn't) I would definitely recommend staying here.

We were assigned this hotel as part of our tour package, and a wonderful surprise indeed. It has been the best ever stay we've had in New Zealand so far. Doug, the manager took the time to show us to our apartment (unit 5), and walk us though the amenities. The views are spectacular. I highly recommend this property.
