Excellent views, great location
Lovely stay at a comfortable property. Marilyn was very responsive and helpful. Our unit was well appointed and the kitchenette had everything we needed. The couch was super comfortable to relax and read or watch tv. The bed was a little worn, but we slept well. The deck is wonderful and gives an excellent view of the sea and the amazing sunrises! The driveway is steep, but there was plenty of space to park. The whole town is walkable from the unit. It gave us great access to food and to the ferry to Russell. We also drove out to the Treaty Grounds, which were amazing to see.

Absolutely Beautifully Blissful
We wanted to end our two week holiday in New Zealand with 4 days in Paihia. We chose Absolute Bliss Apartments because they sounded luxurious, and we weren't disappointed. First of all, Marilyn greeted us on arrival and is an absolute gem. She is kind-hearted, helpful, and sincere, making us feel so welcome. The two fully self-contained apartments sit on the side of a hill, providing a magnificent view of Paihia. The apartments are super spacious, and Marilyn keeps them in immaculate condition. The large balconies and outdoor seating allow you to enjoy the view and serenity of the area on a warm night. Being on a hill means accessing the property via a driveway that may at first appear a little challenging, however the oasis that awaits you is well worth the effort. Parking is available at the top, and a beautiful lift allows you to transport luggage up to the second floor. If you choose to walk up and down the driveway each day as we did, it gets easier with each trip and we gained the bonus of getting to know extra leg muscles we hadn't used in years. The main street in town is right in front of the driveway, and you can enjoy a meal at a nearby restaurant or at the water's edge within minutes. Thanks to Marilyn sharing her home with us, our memories of this holiday will be something we will always treasure. We can't wait to return.

We had a wonderful stay in a perfect location. The view was amazing and the location was quiet, yet it was only a few minutes walk to many shops and restaurants.

Beautiful property with views of the bay and within walking distance of everything in Paihia. The owner, Marilyn, was extremely helpful and accommodating. She booked a boat outing for me in advance of my arrival and even picked me up from the bus stop for an early check-in. An excellent experience from start to finish.

Great location, comfortable B and B
Great location 5 minutes walk to the main wharf where tour boats start and many restaurants. Continental breakfast was excellent. Note that the drive way is very steep with a sharp turn.

The view, accommodations, and the service was spectacular. Marilyn went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Gourmet breakfast on the deck , booking our day trips and going above and beyond to make us comfortable. My wife and I really enjoyed sharing a glass of wine chatting with Marilyn and her friend Ismay. Highly recommend this property.

A comfortable and well presented apartment just 5 minutes walk from the centre of Paihia. Great views over the bay from the balcony, with seats and a table for breakfast or relaxing in the evening. The owner, Marylin, gave a very warm welcome and is ready to offer advice or assistance for local trips. The drive to the property is very steep, and some may find that difficult to walk. Great location for many Northland attractions and sites.

The Perfect Place
We stayed 5 nights. Marilyn was very welcoming and helpful. We had lost luggage from our flight and Marilyn couldn't have been more supportive in providing assistance until our suitcase finally arrived. The apartment was was perfect for us. Great views, comfortable and easy walking distance to everything.

Slight misunderstanding as to whether our room was a B&B or an apartment. Once we found out it was in fact a B&B all was great. Marilyn was a lovely host. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Lovely breakfast on the balcony. Very steep driveway

Comfortable accommodation close to central Paihia
We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Absolute Bliss which included a continental breakfast. Marilyn was very welcoming and provided information about restaurants and activities. She set up breakfast on the balcony, which has an elevated view of Paihia harbor. Absolute Bliss is close to Paihia's shopping and dining precinct, and harbor - an easy 10 minutes walk. We had the Deluxe Loft room on the mezzanine floor. The room included a king bed, ensuite, and a dining nook with a microwave, fridge and kettle. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate was provided. Marilyn gave us Easter eggs on Easter Sunday which added a personal touch to our stay. There is an internal lift which made it easy to carry luggage to the third floor. The car parking is off road and safe. The drive way is very steep, fortunately it is not too long.
