Guest Reviews
- David (10/5): Memorable experience with our delightful hosts. - Excellent location and wonderful room.
Exceptional hosts who made it a great experience. Nothing at all.
- kzurheide (10/5): Outstanding Bay of Islands views! - Amazing Bay of Island views. Outstanding breakfasts. Everything one could need in room (well, no microwave). Super friendly and helpful hosts. To get those stunning views means location is up steep hill from town (although it's not far). I'd advise that if not physically well able to do walk back and forth (to restaurants, shops, ferry, etc--besides road, there is a funky shortcut path/stairs, but after dark... well...), then perhaps not the perfect setting for you--although hosts might be available for some transport help. Check out with them in advance? Worked out great for me!
- Z8130YEgrahamc (10/5): Stunning location, fantastic room and the most amazing hosts - Heinz and Britta are amazing hosts making this beautiful property even more special. The views across the bay to Russell are spectacular, the room was clean, really well equipped amd the bed delightfully comfortable. Breakfast offers a delicious selection amd Heinz will cook you eggs if you so desire. Absolutely wonderful place and even better hosts. Thoroughly recommended.
- 131karinm (10/5): Oh to wake to this view every day! - Very comfortable accomodation, fabulous views, wonderful breakfast and lovely hosts who were very helpful and informative regarding tourist attractions
- susanfQ5064VS (10/5): Allegra House - Excellent accommodation and wonderful hosts - Allegra House, Paihia, New Zealand
The hosts at Allegra House, Brita and Heinz Marti, were extremely hospitable and ensured our stay was both comfortable and relaxing. Even before we arrived, they helped us plan our itinerary in the Bay of Islands and local areas which made our stay even more interesting and enjoyable.
We stayed in both the large one-bedroom apartment accommodation and later in the large studio accommodation (where a very generous breakfast was provided, including freshly baked bread by Heinz). The furniture, bedding and all facilities in the accommodation were of the highest standard. The views from the veranda overlooking Paihia and the Bay of Islands were incredible.
Allegra House itself is very well located, within a short distance to a variety of good restaurant s and the Paihia Harbour, and close to the historically significant Waitangi Treaty Grounds and Museum.
We have no hesitation in recommending Allegra House as an excellent choice for anyone visiting the Bay of Islands region.

- Guest (10/5): -
- V3336WIgillw (10/5): Wonderful view, excellent accommodation deserves all the awards they have won - Wonderful view, Fabulous host, excellent breakfast. Very comfortable bed very well presented and comfortable accommodation. I would definitely book again.
- Carola (10/5): Hinfahren und geniessen! - Geräumige Unterkunft, sehr stilvoll, fantastische Aussicht, bequeme Betten, herausragendes Frühstück, sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber Nichts
- Adrian (9/5): -
- Amanda Awa (10/5): Lovely location with everything we needed to relax. - We loved the views and the privacy and the food and the location. The host was very nice too.
- Gill (10/5): Fabulous view , great breakfast, lovely room , and excellent hosts - Fabulous view , great breakfast, lovely room , and excellent hosts
- Sunshine33004366698 (10/5): A perfect stay - Great location, best views of the Bay of Islands. Spacious accommodation with a fully fitted kitchen, lovely bedrooms and large bathroom and shower. Large relaxing living room and dining area. Two outdoor patio areas and front and back of the property. Plenty of parking. The hosts Heinz and Brita were most welcoming and have great knowledge of the area. Heinz was very helpful in recommending activities and day trips. Allegra House was a wonderful place to stay, nice and relaxing, a home from home. We would like to thank Heinz and Brita for a lovely stay and if we return to New Zealand we would definitely know where to come
- Alexander (10/5): Great visit - Gorgeous views of the bay and close to the town No issues
- MyTra23 (10/5): Five star accommodation, Five star hosts - The most beautiful accommodation during our entire journey in New Zealand. The building itself, situated above the village, offers a spectacular view over the Bay of Islands. We were lucky to have the rooftop apartment - try to ask for it when booking. This room as well as the entire Allegra house offer you a high class ambiance - comparable to Five Star hotels. The owners, Brita and Heinz are Five Star hosts - friendly, welcoming and helpful. Both are always willing to give you a lot of information about the area and the whole country. Breakfast will be served either in their kitchen or on the balcony together with your hosts - a perfect chance to exchange experiences with other guests. We spent three nights in Paihia, and after all we only regret one thing: not having booked longer. This site offers you a perfect balance for relaxing days in combination with lots of possibilities for excursions by boat or car - or simply hiking. A couple of nice restaurants with great seafood can be reached within walking distance.
- Jane (10/5): Loved it here! - Absolutely wonderful location set back up the hill with fabulous views overlooking Paihia. Short walk downhill to town. We loved it here! Brita and Heinz were very welcoming and friendly and always on hand if you needed anything. Apartment was well equipped with everything you would need if you wanted to eat in. Thoroughly recommend staying here!
- Edgar (10/5): Besser geht nicht ! - Sehr schönes Zimmer mit toller Aussicht und top Frühstück, alles sehr sauber und das Bett war bequem. Ausgesprochen nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber !!!
- Regula (10/5): - Die Sicht auf die Bay ist spektakulär. Sehr familiär und persönlich. Super Frühstück!
- Cindy (10/5): Slice of heaven on top of the mountain. - It was an awesome view on top of the mountain. The room was really clean well set up and it was no trouble to split the king bed into two. Brita & Heinz were extremely friendly, carried our bags up three flights of stairs, provide an 10 out of 10 breakfast, gave handy hints on parking in Pahia, we felt safe and secure - didn't even lock our room, roomy car parks available. You can walk through the bush into town but need to remember the walk up the hill is harder. Loved the birds singing in the morning. Nothing comes to mind.
- Paul (10/5): -
- 931hemav (10/5): We enjoyed our stay very much - Stunning view on the sea from the hill, very kind host. Very good breakfast
- Frances (10/5): Very convenient stay, hosts were lovely, good communication. - Lucky to get booking in Paihia for Waitangi celebrations. Room and view were stunning. Hosts very friendly and helpful. Steep drive, difficult to manoeuvre a truck in driveway.
- Jade (10/5): Exceptional! Wonderful experience. - Great location! Beautiful view. Hosts were exceptional - so friendly and kind. Spacious room and the bed was so comfortable. Breakfast was included and it was delicious. Just minor things. The trade off of the beautiful was the location of the home on a steep hill. So walking to town can be tiring when coming back - I drove my vehicle and parked up at the bottom of the hill because I'm so unfit LOL. Being summertime and amongst native bush there were pesky ants. Heinz kindly notified me of this and there were bait stations around. As long as food is not lying around they're not a problem.
- JayGee91 (10/5): Fabulous place to stay! - Beautiful B&B in Paihia and wonderful hosts. Loads of ideas given to enhance our stay in the areas. The view from our room was amazing, along with breakfast each day - thank you very much Heinz & Brita 😀
- I6768HNpatc (10/5): Room with a view - We only stayed for one night but it was a lovely quiet location with fabulous views across the bay. The owners went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect and provided us with an excellent breakfast.
- Michael (9/5): - Great location, hosts and breakfasts.
- Joerg (10/5): -
- Markus (10/5): Eine aussergewöhnlich schöne Unterkunft und sehr liebenswürdige Gastgeber. -
- Marilyn (10/5): Exceptional - The position was superb and the hosts were great, and the breakfast was exceptional There wasn’t anything we didn’t like
- pia60 (10/5): Great find - What a find 😎
We had the best time staying with Heinz and Brita!
Breakfast buffet with homemade bread and fresh fruit was delicious!
The hosts are super friendly and helpful!
Heinz has great sense of humor!
- Andreas (10/5): Fabelhafte Unterkunft - gerne immer wieder - Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit mega Ausblick über Paihia. Ein geräumiges Zimmer und ein ganz tolles Frühstück. Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber.
- wanderygirl (10/5): Breathtaking views! - This is a beautiful unique apartment with a wonderful host. All of the amenities in the kitchen were very high-end, the bed and bathroom were perfect clean and comfortable and the view is breathtaking. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again.
- Ellina (10/5): - Hospitality and warm welcome!
- Alan (10/5): Great location, hosts and breakfast - Location and view - but need car to get up hill for us oldies!
Great hosts and lovely breakfast selection.
- Milan (9/5): excellent relaxing experience and warm hospitality from Brita & Heinz - great food quality, specially home made bread and nice view from the terasse
- carofw (10/5): Beautiful spot to stay with perfect hosts - Location was up a hill with fabulous views across the bay. Brita and Heinz were the perfect hosts, the room was great, comfy, well stocked and clean. The breakfast fantastic and so homely as served from their own kitchen /verandah I'm quite sad we were only there 2 nights!
- barbarawH8296IQ (10/5): Fabulous In Every Way Possible! - This was one of the best bed and breakfast places we have EVER stayed in and we have stayed in a lot of them. First, the accommodation is top notch. We had 2 complete walls of windows with the most fantastic view you can imagine; it was like living in a postcard. The hosts were more than hospitable, helping us with luggage, giving us a welcoming cookie and giving us tips for the area. Breakfast was truly sumptuous with homemade bread right from the oven in the morning. Fruit, croissants, eggs however you wanted them, meats, cheeses.....I am sure I am forgetting some of them. We ate communally on an outdoor balcony with a spectacular view of the Bay and had lively and intelligent conversations every morning, often with the hosts. The house is ecologically designed, too. We cannot praise this spot or this bed and breakfast more highly. We were sorry to leave.
- Roy (10/5): A fantastic location to view the harbour, luxurious accommodation and hospitable hosts. - The owners were very friendly and accommodating and the breakfast was delicious. The fittings were beautiful and the view spectacular. There was a bit of leaking from the shower.
- vjewhurst (10/5): Wonderful accommodation and service - We received a warm friendly welcome here. Apartment was superb, all equipment supplied, even milk and water in the fridge for a cuppa on arrival. Comfy bed, large fluffy towels, toiletries. Tea and coffee as well. Breakfast was all fresh food, home made bread was amazing, but what made our stay so memorable was the friendly, homely atmosphere and the outstanding welcome.
- Frédéric (10/5): -
- Serendipity_Norfolk (10/5): Stunning Views from a Lovely Place to Stay - We really enjoyed our stay at Allegra House. The couple who run the place are very friendly and helpful, and their civic pride is seriously impressive. When they aren't baking bread and serving a lovely breakfast to you, you'll often see them working on the gardens, fountains and other aspects of the lovely town that is Paihia.
The rooms was lovely, with the most incredible views. The hosts gave us great suggestions of places to visit and walk, even dropping us by the Haruru Falls so we could walk the lovely trail that heads to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds.
The house is up high, so the views across Paihia and the Bay of Islands are simply stunning, you can lay in bed and watch the changing landscape as the sun rises and falls.
There is a walk way down into town through the lovely garden, its steep but manageable and a lot quicker up and down than appears when you are looking down at Piahia from the house.
Highly recommend a stay here, and a visit to the Bay of Islands.
- Claudia (10/5): - Heinz und Brit sind großartige Gastgeber. Beim Frühstück gibt es viele Tips und Informationen. Das Frühstück ist das Beste, dass wir auf unserer Reise bisher bekommen haben. Die Aussicht ist unschlagbar. In 10 Minuten ist man zu Fuß im Ort, muss dann allerdings auf den Rückweg die vielen Stufen wieder hinauf.
- Samuel (10/5): -
- Rosebayfind2 (10/5): Spectacular views, great hosts. - A brilliant stay! We were welcomed by our hosts Heinz and Brita. Our top floor suite had amazing views over the bay. We watched the sun rise and saw the Southern Cross. Fabulous breakfast offering lots of choice - with the very best poached eggs expertly cooked by Heinz. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. We had an excursion cancelled but Brita very quickly organised another trip for us.
Allegra House is close to all the amenities and shops at the lovely resort of Paihia.
We are very happy to recommend.
- burslem2017 (10/5): Wonderful place to stay - This is an wonderful place to stay, very convenient for the town centre, views are also wonderful. Hosts Heinz and Brita are exceptional, so pleasant and helpful in every way. This is our first time staying and we would certainly go back if ever we went to Paihia again. The place is very clean, Wonderfulbreakfasts are lovely, anything you want you only have to ask to see if they have it. Very quiet location and listening to the birds is great, they have very different birds to us here in Canada.

- Companion63802858500 (10/5): Hidden Gem in Paihia - Sensational Hosts, amazing views, delicious breakfasts, great location, very cosy bed and well appointed amenities. Highly recommend. Beautiful part of the world.
- Sally (10/5): Fantastic location beautiful house & wonderful hosts! Don’t hesitate! - Excellent property! Hosts were superb!
Breakfast was brilliant including a slice of cake upon arrival! nothing at all
- John (10/5): - Our hosts were amazing, they welcomed us upon arrival, assisted with our luggage and provided some home made baking. They host a very high quality continental breakfast with home made bread, eggs cooked to your liking. Extensive knowledge of the area, lots of maps and recommendations, would highly recommend staying at Allegra, we actually stayed an addition night as it’s the perfect location to base yourself in the Bay of Islands.The views from the rooms are amazing looking over the harbour to Russel in the background.
- Brian (10/5): - We stayed 6 nights at this wonderful accommodation. Throughly enjoyed our stay as well as all that the far North has to offer. The hosts were so hospitable and engaging. They certainly made us feel at home and nothing was too much for them. The view of the harbour from our hilltop room was spectacular and the surrounding native bush was the perfect get away. Along with stunning views we enjoyed a delicious breakfast and delightful company each morning. Highly recommend a stay at Allegra House.
- Lothar (8/5): Es war o.k. - Freundlichkeit, Frühstück und Ausblick Viel zu kleines Bad
- Alexander (10/5): -
- Odile (10/5): Always follow the recommendations of your brother, if you have one (he recommended Allegra to us). - The location is top notch and is the main reason why we went there. It offers beautiful views and easy access to activities. The breakfast experience was enjoyable for many reasons including, the choice and quality of the food and the artful display of the fruit plates, as well as the lively discussions with our hosts. Nothing to be improved.
- Wendy (10/5): Fantastic relaxing weekend - Amazing views and morning native bird song. Breakfast was excellent
- StsGermany (10/5): Great base for a visit of Northern Islands North and Bay of Islands - Upscale B&B with a great atmosphere and lovely hosts
We stayed here for two nights as part of our short round trip. We were warmly welcomed and greeted in our native language right away, which we found very pleasant.
Heinz and Brita (originally from Switzerland and UK) have plenty of useful tips if you’re looking for things to do or places to eat.
The room we had was excellently equipped and offered a fantastic view of Paihia and the Bay of Islands—absolutely priceless. The entire house is situated on one of the hills surrounding Paihia, overlooking the bay.
A generous breakfast was included and, as is common with B&Bs, we had the opportunity to meet other guests during breakfast. It’s served at a large table in Heinz and Brita’s apartment, which also has a great view.
If you prefer, you're of course welcome to cater for yourself.
Wi-Fi is included, and there’s plenty of parking available.
Paihia’s restaurant scene offers something for every taste—even fine dining. It’s also a great base for excursions into the Bay or further north, and Allegra is particularly well-suited for that.
We really enjoyed our stay. We would return to Allegra at any time without hesitation.
- Greg_davies (10/5): Great location & views. Perfect for what we wanted. - Location was great. Very easy. Hosts were very friendly & helpful. Breakfast was superb.
- Allison (10/5): Exceptional -
- Danielle (10/5): Outstanding BNB in Paihia - The view from our room was breathtaking and the breakfast was outstanding. Nothing it literally is the most beautiful perfect location for the town.
- Robert (10/5): Would definitely recommend this to anyone with transport. - The hospitality of Heinz and Brita was superb. The view from our room and balcony took in all of Paihia and was most enjoyable. Breakfast was full on for food lovers! Could not fault Allegra House and it is a short downhill walk of about 10 minutes to the waterfront.
Uphill was a bit more of a challenge so a car is essential.
- 693hangg (10/5): Perfect Stay with Stunning Views and Warm Hospitality - Our stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful. The breathtaking view set the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway, and our room was spotlessly clean, cozy, and comfortable. The real highlight of our visit was the warmth and kindness of our hosts, Brita and Heinz. Their hospitality made us feel truly welcome, and their delicious breakfast was the perfect way to start each day. Without a doubt, we will be returning the next time we visit Paihia!
- S2393WDjenniferl (10/5): Views views views. - Brita and Heinz were the perfect hosts. Our spacious room with ensuite overlooked the Bay of Islands. Breakfast each morning was the best ever. So many choices. And Heinz made the best scrambled eggs! Allegra House is only a few minutes from the town centre and ferries to the islands.
- John (9/5): Well managed and great location made for an enjoyable stay in Paihia - Enjoyed the home cooked breakfast and great view of Paihia
- H (10/5): Exceptional -
- susankR8955XH (10/5): Located high on the hill-Breathtaking Views of the Pacific and mountains from the bedroom, breakfast room, terrace- - We can't say enough about the communication we received from Brita, our host. She responded to each and every email both before our stay and even afterwards. this was a great beginning to a two night stay. In the morning their was a beautiful display of fresh fruits, yogurt, homemade bread, cheese, salmon, etc. Heniz also made egggs to order and they were delicious. They had gluten free options for me. actually when we first arrived, Heinz had a plate of cookies for my husband and a plat of gluten free cookies for me. In terms of the room, it was smartly decorated, with a very comfortable bed, bathrobe and slippers. Both Heinz and Brita had many suggestions of things to do. We enjoyed our stay. This is a fabulous B&B!

Sandra & Paul Marcham
PS Heinz hope you didnt tick that box
- Janet (10/5): Amazing stay & outstanding views in Paihia, NZ! - Heinz & Brita were the most gracious hosts. The room had everything we needed for our stay, very comfortable, and the view from the balcony was stunning! The Allegra House was a close walk to everything Paihia, and they have a cute little shortcut path down the hill. The breakfast & homemade bread was delicious ~ so much to choose from to start your day. We would definitely come back to Paihia & stay at the Allegra House again.
- SueT1392 (10/5): Best B&B in Paihia - We had a fabulous stay here, our wonderful hosts Heinz and Brita provide a premium B&B experience. A good selection for breakfast, enhanced by Heinz’s homemade bread and stimulating conversation with our hosts and fellow guests. Comfortable room with amazing views over the bay of islands from the balcony, loved waking to the tropical birdsong in the morning. Heinz and Brita were so helpful, not only with choosing best places to visit in the area but knowledgeable about all of New Zealand. Can’t recommend highly enough.
- Georgina (10/5): Home away from home! Wonderful experience. - It was top notch. A true B&B. Wonderful hot or cold breakfast and engaging conversation with hosts and other guests. A warm, comfortable, and relaxed ambience. Very comfortable bed with a wonderful view of the bay and as much privacy as we wanted. Thank you, Heinz and Britt. 🤗
- Matt (10/5): Exceptional - Great spot, lovely hosts Nothing was excellent
- Florence2804 (10/5): Fabulous view with outstanding hosts - Warm welcome from Heinz and Brita on arrival and what a view! Perfect for watching the comings and goings in the Bay of Islands from a peaceful position. Allegra House is in a very quiet spot and although perched on the side of the hill, there is a handy path through their garden to walk to the town of Paihia in just 5 minutes rather than walking along the road. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean and quiet and have a balcony overlooking the bay. However, it is Heinz and Brita’s hospitality and welcoming nature that really shine through. Delicious healthy homemade breakfasts, with choice of eggs cooked to perfection by Heinz and a communal breakfast area on the terrace under a sail shade, overlooking the bay, if you wish to join the other guests. This was great for sharing tips, must-see spots. Heinz and Brita have created a relaxed environment, are on hand if you need anything, happy to help in any way they can and are very good at giving advice on things to do/see in the area if you want it. Lovely, open, welcoming people who clearly enjoy having guests to stay.
- Brianna (10/5): Exceptional -
- steveo682 (10/5): EXCELLENT - We booked here for 3 nights to visit Bay of Islands. Absolutely EXCELLENT no other way to describe it!! Heinz and Brita are SUPERB hosts and really entertain the guests at breakfast which was also SUPERB. One bonus in our room was facilities to take a meal outside on the balcony which offers unbeatable views. Also provided a lift to the local waterfall so we could walk one way back into town. Up a hill but well worth the climb.
- Elaine (10/5): Exceptional -
- Samuel (9/5): Above the Rest - Away from the core town with views of the Bay of Islands
- natcon94 (10/5): Genuine Hospitality - I had an absolutely fantastic stay at this charming B&B in Paihia! The owners were incredibly hospitable and went out of their way to ensure that we felt at home. From the warm welcome to their thoughtful recommendations for local attractions, they truly made our visit special.
The highlight of our stay was definitely the breakfast – without a doubt, the best breakfast I’ve ever had at a B&B! Fresh, delicious, and expertly prepared, it was the perfect way to start the day.

The view was spectacular from the room. The area was quiet the place feels like home. Very comfortable and to top it off, the delicious homemade breakfast by the owners. They were very accommodating and entertaining at the same time. It was our first time in Paihia and it did not disappoint us. Will definitely book this accommodation on our next visit.

- Tourist21101821030 (10/5): Allegra House is a wonderful place to stay….. - Allegra House is a wonderful place to stay - we spent three nights here over Waitangi Day 5/8 February and enjoyed a relaxing start to our time in New Zealand. Heinz and Britta are great hosts, nothing is too much trouble and the breakfast was delicious. The room was spacious, comfy and had a lovely balcony from which to enjoy the stupendous view across the Bay of Islands to Russell. The property is set on the forested and peaceful slopes above Paihia, so walking back from the town is not for the faint hearted! We thoroughly recommend this b and b.
- Dana (10/5): Beautiful B+B with stunning views - Brita and Heinz are phenomenal hosts who go above and beyond to make your stay and have excellent local knowledge on the best things to do. The accommodation was lovely and comfortable and had all the amenities needed plus amazing views from the balcony. The breakfast was delicious and fresh. It is only a short walk down to town and we were able to walk to Waitangi and to the pier to catch the ferry to Russell. We will definitely be back to stay again when we are next in the area!
