Fantastic stay
The property was beautiful with views over the Kaipara. The house worked really well for our family and was a wonderful base for exploring the area. We especially loved borrowing the kayaks. Thank you for a wonderful stay and your kind hospitality.

Tranquil peaceful fully equipped house
We had the most amazing stay in an amazing location. The only noises to be heard were the tuis and gentle lapping of the water onto the beach. The house was fully equipped with all that we needed. There was a wee welcome gift when we arrived which was very thoughtful. Very comfortable beds and pillows. We would most definitely stay there again - in fact it was very hard to leave.

Host profile image
We love our paradise escape at Pahi and share it just once a year as we have other extended family summer plans. We enjoy making our house available and comfortable for others to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing break in a not-so-well-known part of New Zealand, and so close to Auckland.

What makes this property unique

Stunning indoor/outdoor flow and decks for days in the sun / fire for those cooler winter nights
