Welcome to Sublime Apartments, Bay of Islands

No one offers more bed choices for backpackers and young (and young at heart) independent travellers.

Forget impersonal hotels, cramped dorm rooms, not meeting the locals or looking over carparks and hearing traffic noise.

Imagine instead the staying with me,  a real Kiwi Paihia local who is a former Contiki European tour guide in a real Kiwi home and enjoying a real Kiwi lifestyle.

Choose from rooms in my house or if you prefer a bit more independence, a self contained unit. If you have a group, take the whole house to yourself.

Surrounded by bush yet only a short walk from Paihia's beautiful beach and the shops and cafes and bars,  we offer great value in a sunny, secluded, setting and all you need for a fun stay. It's not the Ritz by any stretch of the imagination but genuine friendly Kiwi hospitality

More importantly, you will have an awesome experience, not just a place to sleep

The units are run as holiday units, they aren't serviced daily or have someone at reception all the time, but are all set up for you with linen, towels, crockery and cutlery etc. So you turn up, let yourself in and relax in the gorgeous native bush setting.

Check out the "Booking" page for more info on your room choices and while I am updating my website click here and click here to see lots of pics of the house, pool, balcony etc and imagine yourself there with a drink in your hand
