Rooms are spacious, very clean with good facilities, air conditioning and serviced daily. We enjoyed a lovely private spa and jacuzzi area for guests.The hotel is conveniently located just across the road... More

Just spent 3 nights here and would like to compliment Kevin and Shirren on their brilliant hospitality. The room had everything you could possibly need-situated on the outskirts of Paihia but near enough to the centre and the pier to not be an issue. Had just been in Sydney for 4 nights so lovely to chill-we were even supplied with... More

We stayed in a 1 bedroom self-contained unit. It was a great place to relax in and prepare a simple meal after a day's sightseeing. The unit was modern, well-equipped and extremely comfortable. Its quiet location at the far end of Paihia is a bonus as we made the mistake of staying at a motel at the other end of... More

We stayed at this motel for two nights in November. Sherrin our host made us feel welcome on arrival after our long drive from Auckland. The studio unit was ideal for us, spacious and well equipped with everthing you could reasonably need for a short vacation. Kevin was very helpful with details about the area, phone cards etc. The motel... More

We reached the motel quite late near to 5 pm after a long drive from Rotorau. Kevin was already expecting us when we arrived and he graciously gave us a free upgrade to a 1 bedroom unit instead of the studio unit for my wife and I and our 2 boys. He told our boys they could borrow Dvds from... More

Paihia has plenty of accommodation to choose from and you need to decide what your requirements are. We didn't want to stay right in central Paihia, as we had heard it could be hectic by day and noisy at night - but we wanted to be within walking distance of the ferry terminal and restaurants. We didn't need a pool... More

Very luxurious room, very spacious and immaculate, with a giant super king bed! Kitchen and bathroom both very modern and well equipped. We had a very comfortable stay, a home away from home. Kevin and Sherrin were very helpful, and filled us in on all the attractions in the area. We will definately come back, see you in summer!!! More

Dont get me wrong we enjoyed our night at this motel - it had everything we needed - spacious rooms, self contained and well equipped kitchen, spacious bathroom (although a exhaust fan would have been helpful) and located within walking distance to the supermarket. The location was (by my girly sense of direction) at the northen end of Paihia, a... More
