We enjoyed our holiday in Paihia, but were very disappointed in the standard of the resort. It is a wonderful location, right in the centre of Paihia, and walking distance to lots of things to do. The staff were friendly and helpful. We ended up in a one-bedroom unit downstairs (Unit C) after agreeing to swap rooms so another family... More

We had a very comfortable weeks stay on a ground floor unit. Although the decor was a bit dated, it was clean and tidy and comfortable for two. There is a large swimming pool with separate spa pool on site, although we chose to walk along the beach for a romantic stroll each night. The location is excellent with the... More

The resort was beautifully maintained and appointed. The location was just great, close to local beaches, restaurants and amenities. The staff were pleasant, obliging and helpful. Paihia is a lovely location with lots of things to do. Fishermen are also well catered for with lots of fishing charters. There is a vey good ferry service to Russell which is worth... More

My husband and I booked our stay at Busby Manor through RCI. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Jo, a delightfully happy and helpful lady who had us checked in very quickly. She then escorted us to our 2 bedroom apartment, which was spotlessly clean and well appointed. This is the best time-share resort I've been to! Everything you need... More

We used timeshare for a week's accommodation with friends and we all thought it was great. Small enough to feel cosy but enough room outdoors to enjoy the swiming pool, spa, barbecues and wonderful outlook over the bay without feeling like you were intruding into other people's space. The rooms have everything you need and are the whole place is... More

We had a week here. We found the location great, over the road from the water's edge. The apartment was very small but clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. It's a short walk into the small 4 square, cafes etc. We found not much to do here except a dolphin watching (where we saw no dolphins). It has a holiday... More

Busby manor is well located, accross the road is the beach, all on the flat. Other timeshares in Paihia, are on the side of a hill. The shops and wharf are 350m flat walk. Busby Manor staff were great, and the timeshare in excellent condition. Booking activities through the timeshare you get a discount on most acitivities, well worth doing.... More

A time share accomodation in the middle of the waterfront at this New Zealand resort community is in a convenient location close enough to town to walk to the Russell ferry and the local restaurants. A single bedroom is adequate for two people and it is well maintained and with pleanty of towels and blankets for a winter stay. The... More

Stayed here as it was a time share, from the time you checked in the staff were friendly, informative and helpful. I stayed in a one bedroom which was well presented and had everything I needed including plastic Wine Goblets to enjoy out on the deck in the pool and spa area something that is rare to find. They had... More

This property is fantastically located across the street from the Bay, within easy walking distance of the town and of the wharf, and, in a beautiful area of New Zealand. In addition the staff is so helpful in recommending activities in the area.
