Nestled amidst 143 other Islands known as the Bay of Islands, Paihia is the jewel in the crown. This stunning Island offers an abundance of activities, sightseeing opportunites and incredible scenery that will just blow you away. A serviced apartment or holiday letting located on this Island gives you ideal access to everything that’s on offer here as well as the surrounding Islands, providing something to suit everyone‘s tastes.

Paihia’s rich history is evident when you visit the area of Waitangi. Waitangi is a National Trust Estate where the famous Treaty of Waitangi was signed by both the British Crown and the Maori in 1840 bringing harmony to this region. This lush area boasts mangrove forests, greens and beautiful coastline, as well as some wonderful buildings, each one of which has it’s own story to tell. Make sure you also pay a visit to the 35 metre long war canoe that is launched to commemorate the Treaty signing every year. A truly cultural and historic experience.

A Paihia hoilday apartment or aparthotel also provides access to the wide variety of outdoor recreational activities available on this Island and the surrounding Islands. Quad biking and skydiving are two of the choices available for those seeking an adrenaline fix but if you fancy something a little less adrenaline fuelled then why not try your hand at a spot of golf, tennis or outdoor bowls or perhaps even a canter across the beach on horseback.

If it’s the water that draws your attention then you won’t be disappointed either. Hire a kayak and discover the Islands, rent a boat and spend the day out on the water or enjoy an unforgettable swim with dolphins.

If you want to truly experience this Island’s natural environment then there are many wonderful walks in this area including the Waitangi to Haruru Falls route. This beautifully scenic route takes you alongside the Waitangi River and through a mangrove forest, where you can view the abundant flora and fauna, until finally reaching the impressive Haruru Falls, an absolutely spectacular sight. Here you can get a sense of the true power of Mother Nature.

For the perfect place to eat that is within walking distance of your Paihia serviced residence or holiday let, take a stroll down to the water where you will find the Sugarboat Bistro, a superb restaurant aboard a 19th century boat built by the Chelsea sugar refinery to transport their sugar. Enjoy cocktails on the deck and dining in the hold with all produce local to New Zealand. Try the salt and pepper squid or Orango Bay oysters for starter followed by Akaroa salmon wrapped in nori seaweed. Fantastic food, breathtaking views and a wonderful setting.
