ABRI APARTMENTS ^{* * * *}

In New Zealand's Bay of Islands, Abri Apartments overlook Pomare Bay. These relaxed-style wooden cottages are nestled among the trees, in a peaceful subtropical garden setting. The resort is very private and quiet, away from busy roads, but only 3-5 minutes' walk from the beach and Paihia town center, where you'll find a variety of stores, cafés and restaurants, as well as the Paihia wharf from which all excursions and cruises in the Bay of Islands depart. The studios and apartments, decorated in a modern, relaxed style, offer free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, kitchenettes, tea and coffee making facilities, living areas with sofa beds and terraces with barbecues and views over the bay. The apartments feature a fully equipped kitchen, separate living room and whirlpool bath for 2. There are also tropical gardens and free laundry facilities. Pets are welcome. Parking and beach access are free. Abri Apartments is easily accessible by car from Auckland Airport in around 3 hours 15 minutes, by plane from Bay of Islands Airport in 20 minutes, or by bus from Auckland via Intercity Bus.
