Located in Central Paihia, Bay of Islands, New Zealand
Abri Apartments is located at 10-12 Bayview Road in the heart of central Paihia, Bay of Islands, New Zealand. The chalets / apartments are elevated with Sea Views and are nestled amongst trees within a tranquil sub-tropical garden setting. Abri Apartments is very Private and Peaceful; located away from busy roads yet it is an easy 3-5 minute walk to the beach or into central Paihia Township where you will find a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants; as well as the Paihia Wharf where all of the Bay of Islands sightseeing tours and cruises depart.
Arriving By Car:
The fastest route North from Auckland Airport (International and Domestic). Follow the signage to Auckland City Centre onto the South Western Motorway (SH20). Make sure that you enter the Waterview Tunnel in the middle or right lane. When you exit Waterview Tunnel, take the right lanes signed "East City Centre", on to the North Western Motorway (SH16); then take Exit 4A for "Whangarei North" (Northern Motorway 1 / SH1); this will take you over the Auckland Harbour Bridge - it is a motorway to North of Warkworth so it is the quickest option. It is a Toll Road however in my opinion it is worth paying the toll (NZ$2.60 one way). Tip: the motorway can get congested at peak times; as you approach the Silverdale Exit keep to the right lane as the left and middle lanes can sometimes block up with vehicles waiting to exit at Silverdale.
Driving time from Auckland Harbour Bridge is approx. 3 hours 15 mins heading North on Northern Motorway 1 then State Highway 1 to Kawakawa. Then follow State Highway 11 for another 15 minutes to Paihia, Bay of Islands. Continue along the main waterfront road (Marsden Road) past the Paihia Wharf on the right and then turn left into Bayview Road. Proceed along Bayview Road and go straight through the junction passing Selwyn Road on the left and go up the hill. Abri Apartments is on the left just before the 90° left bend.
Arriving By Plane:
Paihia is 20 minutes by road from the Bay of Islands Airport in Kerikeri. You can travel to Paihia via taxi or hire car. Follow the signage to Paihia via SH10 and then turning left on to SH11 to Paihia. As you arrive in Paihia / Waitangi, turn right at the roundabout; drive along the waterfront and turn right into Bayview Road. Proceed along Bayview Road and go straight through the junction passing Selwyn Road on the left and go up the hill. Abri Apartments is on the left just before the 90° left bend.
Arriving By Bus:
There are daily bus connections from Auckland City to Paihia via Intercity Bus. The Bus Depot is situated at the Paihia Wharf which is an easy 5 minute walk from Abri. If you let us know in advance of your arrival by bus, we will be happy to pick you up.
