Nothing was too much trouble for John. Chocies & water in Fridge, wifi available, beautifully decorated, comfortable bed. Cooked breakfast --wonderful. The nicest B & B we stayed in during our 12 days driving round NZ.

A very enjoyable 3 night stay over the Easter break. It is a private setting just a few minutes from the main town and away from the hustle and bustle. On arrival the hosts made us feel comfortable and were knowledgeable about what there was to do in Paihia and the best eating spots around town. We loved the king... More

Longhouse Bed and Breakfast is situated outside Paihia, a little off the road to Haruru Falls. It is a perfectly secluded and tranquil place to get away from the tourism bustle on the coast and yet be within reach of all the activities. Travelling on my own and after a lot of driving and spending every night in a different... More

We stayed 2 nights, 1st January to 3rd. The house is just a delight, and the setting is beautiful. John was so helpful and kind. He is a great cook, too. We had an evening meal that was delicious. He is so friendly and he relaxes one straight away. We can not recommend it highly enough.
