Exceptionally clean and well maintained studio. The King size bed was very comfortable and we had everything needed for an enjoyable three night stay. Our host, Julie, was friendly and welcoming, without being intrusive. She gave us many good recommendations and provides a laundry service, which was much appreciated on our extended trip. Pahia is a beautiful spot to spend a few days. Highly recommended.

A very warm welcome by Penny one of the owners. Our garden suite room was spacious, comfy and very well equipped. We loved the small kitchen with tea and coffee making facilities and a microwave. Fresh milk was available from reception. A very informative folder was in our room giving recommendations of excursions, walks etc Admirals View Lodge is in a quiet location and a pleasant 10 minute walk along the beautiful sea front into Paihia. We loved our 2 night stay here and would happily stay again. Supetb
