The outlook from the room was picturesque, looking out onto the lovely pool area and the beautiful bushland. The breakfasts were delicious and substantial, there was plenty of choice , and we loved the freshly baked friands that we took with us on our journey each day. Nothing, a perfect getaway.

- Paul (10/5): Very relaxing time in a lovely environment. - The perfect hosts.
Beautiful room and amenities
Great breakfast.
Very helpful in guiding us to everything the area had to offer. No negatives. They have thought of everything
- Christina (10/5): - We had a lovely stay with Wendy and Phil. The property is well maintained with beautiful views and surroundings. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the breakfast is generous and delicious. It's a 10-15 minute into the main part of town for dinner with plenty of choices. Plenty of things to see and do nearby as well. We would highly recommend staying here. Thank you Wendy and Phil for having us.

Suggest it.
- Pragnesh (10/5): Definitely recommend this place! - Beautiful location and very clean and comfortable stay. Breakfast was great.
- Felicity (10/5): Exceptional - Such a perfect haven for a few days. Surrounded by native bush, bird calls, no insects or bugs, only minutes away by car from the commercial area and beach or a 20 minute down hill walk. Wendy and Phil are lovely hosts, relaxed, understated, and very welcoming. Plus full of information on things to see and do, getting around. The room is spacious, restful with wardrobe, small fridge, coffee capsule machine, good bathroom and comfortable bed. Breakfast is delicious - fresh fruit salad, home made muesli, and commercial cereals, yoghurt, different types of bread for toasting, jams, your choice of eggs and sides, tea and coffee. Breakfast takes place at a large square table set for up to 8 people. This is a great way of meeting fellow guests and exchange information about things to see and do in the area and around the rest of the country. We were only NZers staying at the time; other guests were from UK, Canada, and the US all doing a tiki tour of the country, so conversation was lively and fun. Nothing

- Ananya (8/5): Very good -
- Robert Luigi (10/5): - Wonderful clean and quiet property. Phil and Wendy lovely hosts and everything you need is available to relax

The fresh fruits included strawberry from their farm. It was an ultimate farm to table experience. Cannot ever forget the raspberry friands which Wendy had prepared. The breakfast spread was super.

About 2 minutes drive and 15 minutes walk from the sea front of Paihia it is ideally situated in a quiet place. Lovely large guest rooms with on suite facilities with nice outside decking area to sit, chill and admire the great views.

- Catherine (10/5): As Good As It Gets - We spent 5 nights at the Decks of Paihia over New Year and what a great place it is to stay. We could not have found more hospitable hosts in Phil and Wendy who made our stay quite wonderful. The Breakfasts were awesome and Phil is a wizard when it comes to cooking eggs. The room was great, but the view, deck and pool is what makes this place extra special. We would highly recommend taking a trip to stay at the Decks of Paihia, you won't be disappointed!
- Verified traveler (10/5): clean and friendly - Clean and comfotable as like A1 class hotel homemade cake was delicious..
- stephen (10/5): SUPER HOSTS - The room was super clean and the bathroom is fitted with all the latest amenities including a jet bath.The view if the ocean from the balcony is also amazing.The hosts Wendy and Phil are super friendly and their price includes a descent breakfast.I needed a couple of shirts washed and dried which was completed without any payment required. I highly recommend the Deck of Paihia
- Allan (10/5): Highly Recommend - Wendy welcomed us professionally with a personal element that made us feel comfortable in their home. The layout of this bed and breakfast is great. Their is a common room, very private room and a deck that offers an amazing setting. Thank you Wendy and Phil for a good breakfast and great conversation.
- Andrew (10/5): Excellent Stay - The Decks of Paihia is a small and perfectly formed bed and breakfast above the town. We stayed five nights and enjoyed every minute of it.
Our room which overlooked the deck and pool was large, very comfortable and had a lovely ensuite. There were also some very nice extras such as a dvd library and baked biscuits replaced daily. Everything was pristine.
Breakfast is served at the communal dining table, a chance to chat to other guests. Bread, cereals, eggs any way you like them and freshly baked frionds (a new thing for us) got each day off to a great start. The frionds changed flavour each day - the strawberry versions edged it for us!!
Our hosts Wendy and Phil, really could not have done any more to make our stay better. From booking excursions, tips on restaurants and even dropping us to our 8am bus, nothing was too much trouble.
If you like character, cheerfulness and comfort where you stay, look no further!
- Verified traveler (10/5): A Comfortable Stay in Excellent Accommodation - Our room was not only comfortable but up to luxury hotel standards. Phil & Wendy were excellent hosts always anxious to offer suggestions as to where to go and which restaurants to try.

- Aaron (10/5): The BEST of the BEST! - Phil and Wendy are incredible! No one in our family wanted to leave! Definitely one of the best experiences any of us has had in our travels around the world. AMAZING, AMAZING people, beautiful, spotless home, delicious food. It was truly an honor to stay at their Bed and Breakfast. BETTER THAN ANY HOTEL!
- Geoff & Jane- 60 plus. (10/5): Top percentile - Our 3 night stay can only be described as Quality with a capital Q- hosts, facilities, food, advice etc. - based on our experience over the past decade in a number of countries enjoying the B&B culture and opportunities. The location is a little away from the centre, but close to an excellent walking track- for us this was a bonus.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Fantastic stay with hospitable hosts - This is the first time I've stayed at a luxury bed and breakfast as I usually stay in hotels. I'm so glad I decided to stay at Decks of Paihia. Wendy and Phil were some of the most hospitable, welcoming people I've ever met. As I was without a car, Wendy picked me up from town and offered to drop me off in town. They invited me to a family homecooked dinner, which was very appreciated both because there was a storm that day and the following day and because of the human contact after three weeks on the road on business trips. Both breakfast and the dinner were delicious.
Furthermore, my bus out of Paihia was later in the evening on a stormy day and since some family members were going to the same area, they offered to take me with them, which I gratefully accepted. Wendy and Phil's home is absolutely beautiful and if I were to open up a bed and breakfast, I would want to run it just like they did. My stay with them has been best accommodations choice I have ever made.
- Dale (10/5): Fabulous hospitality - Decks of Paihia is a fantastic B&B. Phil & Wendy are the perfect hosts and the accommodation is excellent. The comfort and family feel of the location is excellent, and a very short drive to the centre of Paihia or a 10 minute walk gives it a great location. We will be recommending to all of our friends to stay at the Decks of Paihia....don't miss it if you go to Paihia.
