Lovely views with spacious living area

Enjoyed our stay at Sunny Spacious Seaview Stunner. The views of the Paihia harbour were beautiful, the house was clean and had all the kitchen and laundry equipment needed. The only downside was the bunk beds made noises when anyone moved. Thanks for having us.

AMAZING

Everything about this place was wonderful. The communication with Brett was quick and he was easy to contact. A small issue when we first arrived, though no fault of Brett's, and he helped us sort it immediately. Beds were comfortable, house was spotless and stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Highly recommend.

Heavenly Bliss

Brett, thank you so much for having us in your home... I could not have been happier with my choice... The home was perfect, well equipped, clean, and had everything we could have wished for.... The spacious areas allowed the 8 of us to move about freely and the views were just spectacular... In preparation for a very sacred whanau hui, it afforded us the calm and serenity we required.

Kei runga!

We enjoyed the views and the convenient location. We liked that their was plenty of room, lots of towels, and nice cotton bedding. We appreciated the high level of cleanliness, the aircon and the two bathrooms. We loved the atmosphere of Waitangi Day, and relaxing in the sea and sun.

Paihia

We had a beautiful stay here in Paihia. Great location, beautiful home and super relaxing. Perfect base for day trips to Russell and up to Matauri Bay. Convenient to get into town but the house and views were so comfortable after days out that we were happy to relax and regroup. Only slight negative comment is that we found the upper bunk bed not suitable for an adult (even though my son is slight build) which we had assumed it might be so kids doubled up. Otherwise perfect stay.

Great family mid winter break

We had a great stay, the home was nice and warm and amazing views of the bay of islands from the living area. Brett was quick with communication and the info booklet was handy - great tip about getting the car ferry to Russell. The home had everything we needed for a comfy winter stay. Thanks!

Fabulous home and great views!

The photos don't do this gem full justice. Views from three balconies. Clean and well equipped kitchen and home. Ambient lighting was a treat compared to many others we have stayed at. Driveway took a little skill to maneuver, but we enjoyed the two car garage. We would highly recommend this home and hope to visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Brett Gilmore

Karen and I live in the home when we are not caravan camping or travelling overseas. A fall off a horse a few years back luckily left me with a second chance at life. This helped force me to live more in the present and be grateful for what we have. Now I work less and spend more time trying to improve the environment.

Why they chose this property

We like the feel of this small town. The tourists help give it a holiday feel and because of the visitors, we have lots more restaurants and other shops that we otherwise wouldn't have.

What makes this property unique

We bought our home because it is sunny, spacious and has great views. It has a relaxing feel, like I am permanently on holiday, even though I am not. I love all the decks. Also, it's secluded yet it is a short walk to go to the beach, restaurants, shops and ferry.
