Allegra House  

High on a quiet hill overlooking Paihia and the bay in the heart of the Bay of Islands. A short downhill walk to town, ferries to historic Russell, and a few minutes’ drive to Paihia Beach, Haruru Falls and the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Classic bed & breakfast lodging with a family-friendly vibe.

A modern, sunny house with gardens, native bush and ocean-facing decks. Four guest rooms plus a self-contained apartment—each room opens onto a private balcony or patio and features stylish, light-filled decor. Top-floor suites have super-king beds and ensuites; the island suite has a queen; the apartment includes a king bedroom with kitchen and dining. Hosts speak English, German and French and serve breakfast in the first-floor dining area.

Shared lounge, terrace and garden with sweeping bay views. On-site library, playrooms for kids and a tour desk to book boat trips and local excursions. Laundry and a safe-deposit box are available. Free on-site self parking lets you come and go with ease — and you can literally wake up to sea-breeze mornings.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and luggage storage available for guests.

Continental breakfast is served daily in the first-floor dining area; B&B rooms include breakfast and the apartment can add it as an option. A buffet breakfast option is also offered in the mornings (typically 7:30–9:30). Hosts can point you to nearby cafes and fresh seafood spots in town.
