Chalet Romantica

Perched above Paihia Beach with sweeping views across the Bay of Islands, **Chalet Romantica** offers a boutique “adults only” escape in central Paihia. The property combines elevated panoramas, lush garden surroundings, and thoughtful touches to create a restful base for exploring the region.

Setting & Atmosphere

Chalet Romantica is set within easy walking distance of beaches, restaurants and the town centre, yet feels tucked away amid greenery and flowering plants. Native birds visit the gardens, and the hosts maintain a small hobby farm including pet goats, adding to the sense of being in a serene garden hideaway.

The elevated vantage offers unobstructed views over Paihia and across to the islands. Guests often comment on the beauty of sunrise or evening light across the bay from their balconies or the conservatory.
