It’s just such a lovely property. We’ve stayed here several times over the years. The rooms are very clean, in good condition, and spacious. I love the pool and spa. And of course walking out either entrance onto the main township or the seaside restaurant quarter is amazing. I also love the jog or walk over to the sandy beach and up the hill to the Flagstaff for the lush bush and then panoramic views. The staff are so pleasant and helpful - they go above and beyond for their customers.

Exceptionally clean and well maintained studio. The King size bed was very comfortable and we had everything needed for an enjoyable three night stay. Our host, Julie, was friendly and welcoming, without being intrusive. She gave us many good recommendations and provides a laundry service, which was much appreciated on our extended trip. Pahia is a beautiful spot to spend a few days. Highly recommended.
