Hi & welcome to Baysands, my name is Pete and along with my partner Liz and our Staffordshire Terrior, Coal, we run the Baysands motel right on the waterfront at Ti beach, Paihia in the wonderful Bay of Islands.
Liz and I both grew up in Kerikeri just 20 minutes drive from here and have always loved the North and the Bay. We can’t believe how lucky we are to be living on the beach and being able to share our love of the area with visitors to the Bay.
I love to fish and play golf and enjoy everything the outdoors has to offer & would love to help you plan your itinerary while you’re here, I know all the beautiful places to visit you might not otherwise hear about.
We love to travel and have spent time in the USA, England and Europe, Africa, Egypt, Bali, South East Asia, Tahiti, and of course Australia and have great plans to keep exploring the world.
We’ve explored New Zealand extensively with several trips to the South Island including hiking the Milford track and the Queen Charlotte Sound track, we’re planning another one for the coming summer, possibly on the Banks Peninsula near Christchurch. Another of our passions is enjoying good food and often share a barbecue and a glass of wine with our guests in the summer. We’re looking forward to meeting you.
