View was amazing. Sasha was very friendly and helpful.
The room itself looked a little ‘tired’. The kitchen cupboards were old. Parts in need of a refresh although furniture, bed. etc, we’re comfortable.

The view and the space on balcony sold the property to us when we booked. Sacha, the lady who checked us in was very professional and super friendly!!!
The property needs a little TLC, especially the bathroom.

The view. A great location near to Paihia but far enough away to be quiet. The view. The smart TV that I could plug my media player in to (why do some places disable the HDMI plug??). Did I mention the view?? And lovely owner who was great. And the view.
Nothing really.

The apartment unfortunately had had a smoker in it. As a non-smoker I found this unpleasant, but overall it was a great find and I'll stay again.
