Lonely Planet 2008 editor's pick for the Bay of Islands
Your hosts - John and Sheelagh Ball welcome you.
John and Sheelagh extend an invitation to join with them at their
Homestay in Paihia.
We are worldly travelled and recognise the importance and expectations
that people have when looking for a homestay. We enjoy the camaraderie
and meeting people from all corners of the world.
Accommodation: The guest accommodation is made up of separate
king bedroom, separate twin bedroom, with private bathroom. All are on
one floor and you also have the freedom of the rest of the house and
decks. The king bedroom also has an outside deck that leads into the
native bush and wonderful gardens with exotic plant life.
While listening to the native birds in the bush surrounding your
homestay you can sit back in the early evening and enjoy the view and
good company with a complimentary New Zealand wine in a relaxing
environment.
Once we let one of the bedrooms the No Vacancy sign
goes up outside so that our guests have the use of the downstairs to
themselves.
In the lounge we have television, a CD player and a choice of classical,
easy listening and musical shows.
Tariff: Our tariff is NZ$140 per couple per night, NZ$125 single per night. This includes complimentary Continental Breakfast with numerous homemade products. There are several cafes and restaurants in the village to satisfy all culinary tastes. On your return enjoy hot drinks, chocolates and a chat before retiring.
Location:
The homestay is located at 41B Te Haumi Drive, approximately 2km from
central Paihia, Bay of Islands, with popular beaches and services.
We have magnificent bush and sea views from the deck of our home in a secluded
residential area. Quiet, private and
comfortable accommodation, yet very convenient to all
restaurants, cafes and all travel facilities.
We have parking off the road in our drive. As we are a small Homestay,
we do not have credit card facilities. We are a non-smoking home.
Recreation: There is a great deal to see and do in this part of
the world, including Swimming with the Dolphins, a trip to Cape Reinga,
the Cream Trip including a visit to the Hole in the Rock and golf at
courses with some fantastic views. We are only too happy to make
bookings on behalf of guests.
