Sullivans Retreat - Paihia Holiday Home
Start your day with a stroll along the sand into town, then as evening falls, fire up the BBQ and enjoy alfresco dining on the deck while the sun sets over the Bay. With its spa pool and sweeping views, Sullivans Retreat is perfectly set up for relaxed family holidays.
Spread across multiple levels, this four-bedroom holiday home makes the most of its outlook with picture windows framing the sea. A well-appointed kitchen with breakfast bar flows into the warm and welcoming open-plan living area, while the sunny deck extends your living space outdoors. Inside, a table tennis table offers rainy-day fun, and a Smart TV lets you stream your favourite shows. A fireplace and heat pump keep you comfortable year-round.
The layout works well for extended families or groups, with a master bedroom featuring a private ensuite and magical sea view. Three additional bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom with a bath provide plenty of space for everyone to spread out.
Practical touches make longer stays a breeze, including a washing machine, dryer, iron and ironing board. Off-street parking adds extra convenience for you and your guests.
From here you’re only moments from Paihia’s cafés, restaurants and shops. Enjoy a leisurely waterfront lunch, or hop on the ferry to Russell for an afternoon exploring the historic town across the bay.
Whether you’re exploring the Bay of Islands, swimming at the beach or simply unwinding in the spa, Sullivans Retreat delivers the perfect blend of comfort and coastal charm. Everything you need for a relaxed and memorable Paihia getaway awaits. Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year.
