"Ash Grove was the perfect place for our stay. It is out of the way and rather private. It is not in the middle of Paihia but close enough that we could easily drive in to town to eat and go on our tour of the Bay. Even better, it was just down the road from Haruru Falls, which was spectacular. We loved going on a walk along the river. We felt very much at home in our little cottage. Grange and Bronwyn are fantastic hosts and do a fantastic job maintaining their property. I highly recommend Ash...

The quirky Hundertwasser-designed public toilets draw visitors to this small town where colourful mosaics adorn the high street. Take a dip in nearby Ngawha Springs' therapeutic mud pools or ride the vintage railway through lush countryside.

Got to admit taking photos inside a public toilet is pretty weird! Though these are operating toilets there are plenty of tourists doing the same thing - so you probably won't get arrested! 

And yes it's all entirely free - we don't charge for public loos in NZ - not even famous ones!
