"We had a comfortable stay. The motel was within easy walking distance of town, shops and restaurant"

7.0

The unit was roomy, close to the beach, shops and restaurants. The pool was good.

We were lead to believe we would have a patio area, which we didn't. Our patio was a seating area in the carpark - mainly for smokers. The kitchen was basic and lacked things like oven mits, bowls, etc. The TV was a nightmare to work and instructions were outdated.

"We really enjoyed it as we had everything we needed and close proximity to town for restaurants, shops and tours leaving"

7.0

The manager made us feel welcome, the location was within a short walking distance from the Main Street of Paihia and the beach. The rooms were clean and had AC.

The bathroom could have done with a deep clean or update. I wouldn’t cook in the room as it was pretty limited with kitchen equipment and no range hood.
