Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abigail Jan 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The Paihia Lighthouse is a fantastic property with amazing views and responsive hosts. Alisha is happy to help with any problem. It is at the top of a steep hill and has a steep driveway - this is not an issue (everything is sealed bitumen) but our mini-van had to be manoeuvred carefully. The BBQ deck is great for cooking dinner on a sunny day. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Abigail Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Temple Gardens Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Moose-Jaw-Hotels-Temple-Gardens-Hotel-Spa.h1627315.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Bucerías](https://www.expedia.ca/Bucerias-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6051566-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Mall of America Minneapolis Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Minneapolis-St-Paul-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Mall-Of-America-Minneapolis-Airport.h14556.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Los-Angeles-Los-Angeles-Hotels.0-n800058-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Pet-friendly Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d178296-tPetfriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Balconies in Downtown Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Edmonton-Edmonton-Hotels-Hotels-With-Balconies.0-n6057885-0-tHotelswithBalconies.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Marriott's Harbour Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Marriotts-Harbour-Lake.h578898.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels.d601750.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Circa Resort & Casino – Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Circa-Resort-Casino.h57421332.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [WestJet Toronto (YYZ) to Las Vegas (LAS) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-pearson-intl-to-harry-reid-intl/ws/yyz/las) > > [Flights from Roatan (RTB) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/rtb/yyz/roatan-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Sudbury (YSB) to Mexico City (MEX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ysb/mex/sudbury-to-mexico-city) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yyz/calgary-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Calgary](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/178245/flights-from-calgary) > > [Flights from Kitchener (YKF) to Mascoutah (BLV)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/blv/kitchener-to-belleville) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Paita (NOU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/nou/vancouver-to-noumea) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Rome (FCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/fco/montreal-to-rome) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/del/vancouver-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Addis Ababa (ADD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/add/saskatoon-to-addis-ababa) ### Packages > [Scotland Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Scotland.d11219.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Upper Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Upper-Hot-Springs-Sulphur-Mountain-District.d6072217.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit San Luis Potosi](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Luis-Potosi.dx3207) > > [Visit Belle Cote](https://www.expedia.ca/Belle-Cote.dx3000383315)
