    The cute little self-contained cottage was so clean, quiet and comfortable, so pretty with the fairy lights out on the front. Great location, short 5 minutes walk to the restaurants, cafes & the wharf to catch the bus on the Cape Reinga tour. Nice touch with my name by the door and flowers in the kitchen. So lovely of the host to hose down our car which was covered in leaves as it was parked under a tree. Thank you.

    Mike was extremely helpful and friendly - giving us loads of information on walks we could do. The property was absolutely beautiful with amazing views. The room itself was really clean and well maintained and very quiet. The breakfast was delicious with different fresh fruit every morning. Mike is a great host and we will definitely be back and will recommend this place to our friends. We really appreciated Mike's knowledge and friendly personality.

    We had a wonderful 3 nights in Allegra. Lovely views, very clean and quiet; and great hosts with good recommendations. We didn’t have the property breakfast as we never woke up for it, which we subsequently regretted as the quality seemed significantly better than what you can get in Paihia.

    Easy to find, great location, lots of privacy, beautiful garden, and pretty much within walking distance to the main town centre and ferries. Super well equipped if you choose to cook your own food and a great host.

    Probably the best B&B we have stayed in anywhere on the planet. Location was a bit south of the town Paihia, about 2 kms but it is quiet and very very comfortable. Pictures on website are accurate. It was SPOTLESS and spacious. Sue and Danny were great hosts. Breakfast was continental style.
