Pinelodge

I loved the location never been there before....the cleanliness was awesome....

Lovely quiet place with an outside picnic table. The shower was hot and fast. Nice and close to Paihia. Nice and warm in unit. Nice bed covers.

No wifi inside room. Out dated decor. Pillows were hard with 2 pillows in 1 pillowcase. Bed a bit hard. Wasn't like a lodge it was more like a motel without a fridge and microwave. Ranchslider curtains could have been hung nicer. A very small tv with only 1 channel. Swimming pool was dirty.

It had character, comfy and accomadated my big whānau. If I could koha time and resources to this place I would as it has so much potential. The cosy hub served its purpose to aide our bodies while we worked all day. It was also very safe.

I did miss that there was no mini fridge in the room to keep our drinks cool. However we survived.

Easy booking process and staff were helpful.

No cooking facilities in the room.

Nothing

Everything it needs major refurbishments

It was peaceful and quiet. It had a pool and it was to be honest, cheap and I was on a budget. For the price there was a pool too!The room was clean, the bed was well made and clean. The shower pressure was fantastic and tea/coffee making facilities were good too. The lodge kitchen was clean and good fridge. Cooking facilities were good too and a nice environment. We had a problem with a broken windows latch so the room wasn't secure, after a text, we came back to see it fixed. Great service thank you. All in all it was great for the price and good location to Kawakawa and Paihia. Give this place a go, support it so they can get it it back into the glory days. It is a good stop in. The photos are true indicator.

It wasn't a horrible stay, but it was "run down" and needed a spruce up, which I could see happening, mostly in the units you could see refurbishment. Would love a small fridge as I had to keep going back to the kitchen to fetch milk for a cuppa. My double bed was horrid to sleep on, and I could feel and hear the springs with every movement, but the second bed in the room was lovely to sleep on. All in all, it was a great stay for the price, and the location was good too. It was so peaceful and not used for emergency housing, like I had been told. It was safe and good.
