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).

Baywaterviews in Paihia provides adults-only accommodation with free bikes, a garden and a terrace. This bed and breakfast provides free private parking and luggage storage space. Guests can enjoy sea views. Mike and Wookie were the perfect hosts with the perfect home! We were so lucky we had the chance to stay with them and only wish we had more time. The space is fabulous, well equipped and very clean. The hot tub with the view made it so memorable. And having morning breakfast with Mike’s delicious food and Wookie keeping us company made us feel at home. If you’re lucky enough to snag an apartment here book it!
