Paihia Waterfront Luxury Apartment with Pool

This place is lovely, has the location but you better like it hot. Positive: The property is lovely. Its location is perfect, very close to the wharf and restaurants. The beds are really comfortable. I enjoyed sitting on the patio enjoying my morning coffee. It has a Nespresso machine!!! John met us at check in and helped unload our luggage and get settled. Above and beyond! Negative: While we were in Piahia, it was hot. The apartment was on the third floor and it too was hot. I booked it as it said it had air conditioning. It did but only in the main room. We are from Canada and when something says it has air conditioning our expectation is that the whole property has it. Perhaps a cultural thing. The two bedrooms remained very hot and thus sleeping was difficult. There was a fan so we set up between our bedrooms oscillating back and forth trying to funnel some the cool air through our open bedroom doors. There is a restaurant behind the property and the 7:30 am bottle pick up is loud. The property is in need of a large pot. We tried to make pasta but there wasn’t a pot big enough to boil pasta.

Positive: Location and great at up Negative: The freezer didn't work properly so nothing froze

Positive: Great location, walked everywhere Negative: The stairs, no lift to the 3rd floor

It was so nice we had wished we were staying longer. Positive: Location was superb. The decor and furnishings were lovely. The kitchen had everything set up perfectly to cater for guests. It was a bonus to have free Netflix & Prime. Negative: It was an odd set up to get to the property via 2 flights of stairs.

Fantastic apartment stay. Positive: The apartment was fantastic, staff excellent, very accommodating, not sure who made the error, our booking was meant to be 4 nights but only 3 were booked, they were very understanding and moved us to another room for our final night, as they had already booked our room for another booking. Negative: Can’t fault anything. I’d highly recommend the apartments.
