About this property

Sullivans Retreat - Paihia Holiday Home

Start your day with a stroll along the sand into town, then as evening falls, fire up the BBQ and enjoy alfresco dining on the deck while the sun sets over the Bay. With its spa pool and sweeping views, Sullivans Retreat is perfectly set up for relaxed family holidays.

Spread across multiple levels, this four-bedroom holiday home makes the most of its outlook with picture windows framing the sea. A well-appointed kitchen with breakfast bar flows into the warm and welcoming open-plan living area, while the sunny deck extends your living space outdoors. Inside, a table tennis table offers rainy-day fun, and a Smart TV lets you stream your favourite shows. A fireplace and heat pump keep you comfortable year-round.

The layout works well for extended families or groups, with a master bedroom featuring a private ensuite and magical sea view. Three additional bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom with a bath provide plenty of space for everyone to spread out.

Practical touches make longer stays a breeze, including a washing machine, dryer, iron and ironing board. Off-street parking adds extra convenience for you and your guests.

From here you’re only moments from Paihia’s cafés, restaurants and shops. Enjoy a leisurely waterfront lunch, or hop on the ferry to Russell for an afternoon exploring the historic town across the bay.

Whether you’re exploring the Bay of Islands, swimming at the beach or simply unwinding in the spa, Sullivans Retreat delivers the perfect blend of comfort and coastal charm. Everything you need for a relaxed and memorable Paihia getaway awaits.

Please note that the coffee machine is currently unavailable.

We arrived late in the evening; as the driveway doesn’t even have a house number, we had to search for a while. Unfortunately, the house is rather shabbily furnished and looked grubby, with hair in the bathroom cupboards and various cobwebs. There were small insects living in the dining and living room tables. Unfortunately, quite a few things were also broken; the faulty fan heaters in both bathrooms were particularly annoying now that it’s winter.If the house had been cheap, we could have turned a blind eye to a lot of things, but not at the price they were asking.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Julian. I'm sorry to hear that your stay did not meet expectations. We understand how frustrating it can be to have difficulty locating a property after arriving, particularly later in the day, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Following your review, we've discussed your concerns with the local team. Additional attention is being given to the property's presentation, including exterior cleaning, cobweb removal, and window cleaning. We've also reviewed the concerns regarding insects and cleanliness. In relation to the bathroom fans, we've since confirmed they are operational. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas where improvements can be made for future guests. Despite the issues experienced, we do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a much-improved stay in the future. Bachcare Reputations & Resolutions Team
