We stayed in the Sails Villa for three nights just before the Queen's Birthday weekend.
Originally, I considered some of the hotels / resorts in Paihia, but my wife... read more suggested we stay at Crows Nest again because it would be much, much quieter. We needed a good rest, so it didn't take much to convince me and I booked the Sails Villa for us.
Our reception was very friendly and efficient. And the area, as always, was stunningly beautiful.
The villa was very well equipped and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. There were even some fruit and a bottle of wine for us to enjoy.
The beds, which are apparently fairly new, were very comfortable and linens of excellent quality.
So ... friendliness, efficiency, convenience, AND stunning views. What more could you want?
Why, then, the average rating?
This is, perhaps, splitting hairs. But we felt there were just too many cobwebs throughout the house. My wife had been bitten by spiders on a few occasions in the past, so she becomes a bit "itchy" if there are spiders in the vicinity. The presence of cobwebs in various places inside the house was enough to make both of us feel slightly uncomfortable.
Other than that one point of criticism, the place was very good. More

This place is amazing with views to die for. We recently stayed at Crows Nest over Easter and the property is superb. The amenities are first rate, extremely clean and... read more plenty of space to sit and admire the views. It was also a great location to explore the Bay of Islands from. Thanks for a great stay.
