Featuring garden views, The Sails features accommodation with patio, around 1.7 km from Long Beach. There is a private entrance at the apartment for the convenience of those who stay. The apartment provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. Set a short distance away from the hustle and bustle of Russell during high season, The Sails was a wonderful location to relax and unwind. The area is spectacular and truly worth visiting. Allow at least two nights to explore the area and to enjoy its gentle pace. Truly it's a very idyllic town with oodles of charm. We were made to feel welcome and the accommodation was spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Thankyou to our welcoming hosts Joan and Vivien. If we were Kiwis, we'd be back (and if we do cross the ditch again and head North, we will be back).

This was a very special place to begin our tour, just wished we had been able to stay a bit longer. Many thanks to Anne and Garth.

Set in Paihia and only 1.2 km from Te Ti Bay Beach, Allegra House offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. With garden views, this accommodation provides a balcony. This 4-star bed and breakfast offers private entrance. Heinz & Brita were the most gracious hosts. The room had everything we needed for our stay, very comfortable, and the view from the balcony was stunning! The Allegra House was a close walk to everything Paihia, and they have a cute little shortcut path down the hill. The breakfast & homemade bread was delicious ~ so much to choose from to start your day. We would definitely come back to Paihia & stay at the Allegra House again.
