Come and watch the kereru flying around the place :) Barb October 2024 5/5 Mark was an awesome host and would recommend! So communicative and gave the most helpful instructions/outline well before our stay and again a couple days ahead. The house had everything we needed with the two showers definitely coming in handy. This place is very homely and perfect for big/multiple families! (We also had frequent visits from 2 kereru which was a bonus??) https://fb.watch/vhme9djFAk/ Angelica, May 24 "Very peaceful and comfortable place , awesome view infront of the house ! ! mark is really nice and is very responsive!" 5/5 Estafani, May 24 "Our stay at Mark's place was amazing, the place is huge for 12 people, and it's very close to the center but at the same time you feel like you are in the middle of the nature, the BBQ place its the best." Corli, April 24 "We enjoyed a lovely long weekend here with friends, 11 people in total. We felt right at home, and it was ideal with kids of all different ages. It is big enough, not to be in each other's space, but with an awesome lay-out for socializing. There is everything you need for a good, relaxing break. It is an easy walk to the beach and shops and so many things to do in the area. We will be back!" 5/5 "Marks place was great for our group of 10. Plenty of space for us, almost everyone had their own room and there was a great outdoor area to hang out in. And great parking, we even had a boat with us. Mark was a great communicator and host" 5/5 Mark is an absolutely pleasure to deal with. He is the greatest communicator and gets back to you very quick. The house is awesome, it was tidy on arrival and the little touches made all the difference like having music playing when arrived and the fans going to cool the house for us. I highly recommend this stay! We will definitely be back again. Thank you Mark, your Awesome! Layton, Airbnb Nov 2020 5/5 Whatever your reason, the value, size, location and inclusions you get here compare extremely well with anything else you will find. The space Just what you want in a Northland holiday home, safe, secluded, beautiful native bush setting, yet only 800m walk to beach, shops, restaurants and bars. The ONLY place in central Paihia with 7 bedrooms and 13 beds making it ideal for families or groups of friends. Yes, 7 bedrooms (when using the downstairs rumpus room and sunroom as bedrooms) so plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Relax in the sun until late in the evening on the huge 8m by 8m balcony and covered outdoor living and dining area. You have Tui, Kingfishers, quail, wood-pigeons and parakeets flying around and will enjoy the sound of birdsong and cicadas instead of traffic! After exploring the beautiful Bay, swimming with the dolphins, fishing, sailing, golfing or dozens of other options, what better way to finish than to relax on balcony with a cold drink to review another awesome day, the ones memories are made of. You will have 3 double bedrooms, the kitchen, dining, lounge and bathroom upstairs and a 4th, 5th, 6th bed/rumpus room & 7th bed/sunroom downstairs, as well as the laundry. Even with 12 people there is no issue with queues for the bathroom. You have a bath with a shower over it, then a separate door to the second shower, and toilet is a separate room from both of them. In the kitchen you have everything you would expect, plus a toastie maker, slow cooker, rice cooker, air popcorn maker, filter coffee machine and double hotplate. Plus there is a large, quality BBQ you will probably use every day :) So absolutely everything is supplied for you, sheets, pillows, pillow cases, towels, hand towels etc. Not only supplied, but all the beds are made up for you! Now isn't that a much better way to start your holiday! :) There is off road parking right by the house, plus a boat and car wash area. Another free bonus for you... not only have I lived here for 20 years but I am a professional tour guide. I want you to have the best possible time and can help with all and any questions you may have and give recommendations on my favourite things to do and see and experience while you are here. There are plenty of dates still available, but from experience now is when the majority of bookings come in. So don't miss out on the time you want, make an enquiry now, take advantage of the great specials and start looking forward to a wonderful, memorable holiday in the beautiful Bay of Islands. I look forward to hearing from you and being of service Cheers Mark PS Please note the house is not waterfront or has sea views, the photos of the beach etc are just to show how beautiful it is. I only say this because I had someone arrive thinking that was the view from the house even though I state we are 800m from the beach, shops etc Other things to note Must climb stairs - One flight of outside steps.
