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.

Wonderful stay in an amazing location. We were lucky to have the top floor with spectacular views. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming and breakfast was superb. Better in sun but such an amazing view to wake up to. Definitely recommend it.

Brita and Heinz were the perfect hosts. Our spacious room with ensuite overlooked the Bay of Islands. Breakfast each morning was the best ever. So many choices. And Heinz made the best scrambled eggs! Allegra House is only a few minutes from the town centre and ferries to the islands.
