Allegra House

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.
