About this property
Sunny Paihia Apartment
Sunny north-facing apartment in the Paihia valley just two minutes' walk from town. Part of a complete rebuild in 2016 now called North Base, the apartment was initially developed as owners' accommodation and is now offered as a luxury holiday pad.
North Base Apartment has one bedroom with queen bed, heat pump, spa bath and modern fixtures. There is a Queen Murphy bed in the lounge that can be made up by arrangement. (extra person charge applies if only two person booking)
There's a washing machine and shared drier & washing line.
The north-facing patio has seating for four plus a commercial BBQ with s/s hot plate.
If staying with young children, the pullout couch in the apartment is an option.
There is parking for one car, two at a squeeze or a car and a boat with the trailer detached. The school car park directly across the road is available on weekends and holidays.
North Base Apartment and the patio is very private from the accommodation above. The driveway goes past the front door and does give opportunity to say hello to other guests but otherwise you should not notice that they are there.

About the host
Hosted by Robert Cross
After a long-time association with Northland as our preferred holiday destination, we decided it was time to move north in 2016. We reconstructed 30 School Road as North Base, purpose built holiday home accommodation for groups of all sizes, from couples seeking a quiet time away to families and groups visiting the Bay of Islands for weddings and other events.
Why they chose this property
The house at 30 School Road was in need of a rebuild when we purchased, the location was perfect for what we had in mind: elevated with a view over town to the Bay and beyond, north facing and sheltered. We recognised potential in the house as holiday accommodation, even though we had to tear most of it down and start again. Today our dreams and visions have been realised and in our first four years of operation we have welcomed visitors from all over New Zealand and internationally.
What makes this property unique
Views, proximity to town and central to all the Bay of Islands and Northland have to offer, excellent facilities, private setting. north facing and so sheltered from southerly and easterly winds.
