"Lovely surrounds. Very happy with everything "

"Amazing and accommodating staff in all areas of the facility A great venue and the restaurant food was excellent quality. I would stay there again should the opportunity arose We had a family reunion there that weekend "

"Just gorgeous, luxurious, beautiful place to stay."

"The place was nice. Facilities very tidy and comfortable. Pool was a dream for us and the kid. Unfortunately there was no good communication about where to park at the beginning. As it is not marked properly, there was none available at night when coming back, so had to park off the street. When calling in the morning to reception nobody answered."

"It’s truly impossible to put into words just how wonderful this place is. “Incredible” doesn’t begin to describe it—think of every positive adjective you can, and it still probably wouldn’t do it justice! We stayed at the First Light Villa and every detail has been so thoughtfully considered to make your stay feel seamless and special. Lauren and Kim were the most gracious hosts, going above and beyond to take care of us. They drove us into town for dinner and picked us up afterward and offered to pick us up or drop us into town anytime. Hospitality at its finest. We walked into town and back during the day via the trails Lauren showed us. And the villa… just wow. It’s something you have to experience to truly understand. The photos are lovely, but they don’t capture the peaceful energy and magic of the space. It’s serene and calming—almost zen-like. The jacuzzi, tucked into the lush greenery, is an absolute dream. There are two fireplaces—one inside and one on the deck, adding a cozy charm that’s perfect for any time of day. The kitchen was fully stocked with breakfast essentials (and then some): smoked salmon, yogurt, oatmeal, eggs—anything we requested! It was luxury from start to finish. The views are simply breathtaking, and the expansive deck is the ideal spot to soak them all in. The upstairs bedroom is spectacular, with panoramic windows that make waking up feel like a dream. We’ve stayed in many places over the years, but this one tops the list. "

"This was a most enjoyable stay. The staff are friendly, tge service is great, and the breakfast options are also great, and children eat for free at breakfast time. I highly recommend taking your family here for a weekend stay. Our family are definitely coming back!! Thank you Copthorbe Paihia"
