Guest Reviews

• Sue (10/5): - Everything 🙂very clean, comfy beds, easy walk to shops ferry etc, friendly staff 🥰
• Tash (10/5): Absolutely loved close to town friendly welcoming people and I will be returning one day - I loved the friendly welcoming communication and atmosphere. Lovely welcome and show us to our room which was clean and tidy super comfy chairs and beds lovely showers. Kitchen was well stocked with items for all occasions. Tight car oark but still had a car oark for each room
• Valda (9/5): - Great reception and room was spotlessly clean except shower. Black Mouldy shower.
• Lisa (9/5): Nice cozy place with kitchen, near all! - The location, the uniqueness of the facility, the room size and the kitchen. Staff were pleasant and owner, Reed, was super helpful with recommendations for sight visits. Everything was pretty much as expected. Bed was a little too soft for us.
• Jackson (4/5): -
• Raymond (8/5): Clean, Comfortable & Convenient Location - This was a great stay overall. The place was clean and tidy, with a comfortable bed that made it easy to relax after a long day. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the basic cooking utensils, which was really convenient. The location is a standout, being close to shops and restaurants, making everything easily accessible without needing to travel far.
• Shirley (8/5): - 干净
• Elaine (7/5): Good location and helpful staff - Location
• Ludwig (10/5): -
• Vicky (7/5): - Comfortable warm and good location Being able to sit out on deck. Didn’t have tea towels on arrival Going up steps to get to room
• Zelda (9/5): Comfortable room with good facilities. - Undercover parking. friendly and helpful staff, good size room with comfy bed, good shower and seperate kitchen area. Close to main street and shopping centre. Had a lovely balcony. Rooms are a bit outdated and had a musty smell but once opened windows smell evaporated.
• David (10/5): - Cleanliness Everything was great
• Robin (8/5): - Location was very good being one street back from waterfront. Apartment spacious. Staff extremely helpful
• Qi (10/5): -
• Richard (10/5): -
• Julz (9/5): -
• Kristy (8/5): Comfortable, friendly, easy and perfect location. We loved our stay and would definitely book here again. - We loved the location which was easy walking distance of everything in Pahia, while still being incredibly quiet. The apartment was spacious, clean and had everything we needed as a family of four. Loved having a little balcony with a view too! The owners were very friendly and helpful, especially around storing our chilly bin full of fish after our charter. The property is a bit dated but that’s very common in Pahia and part of the charm. Like everywhere in Paihia, it is very expensive for what you’re getting. We could stay in a modern, huge luxury apartment in Auckland for what we paid for a dated 2bd apartment in Pahia. But I guess that’s the price of enjoying such a lovely holiday destination.
• Kat Stork (10/5): -
• Kat Stork (10/5): - What a lovely couple who run the motel. They gave us plenty of ideas of what to do while on holiday. Very friendly place to stay. The location is close to all shops and the wharf for the ferries. The unit we were in was big and spacious. N/A
• Emma (9/5): - Very comfortable spot in the heart of Paihia. Easy to walk to restaurants and other attractions. Lovely owners, very helpful. Very comfortable beds
• Nicholas (4/5): - The filted water and large sized room also right in town. There wasn't anyone on front desk when we arrived. The bed was soo uncomfortable it gave us sour backs, shower had lowe pressure. We where kepted awake from a group in all the other rooms but that is most probably a one off..
• Teresa (9/5): - Staff very good, helpful, friendly and informative. Central position and good size rooms.
• Gaylene (7/5): - Location. Owners friendly and helpful. Older style motel. Decor a bit dated.
• David (9/5): Great base to explore Bay of Islands - Handy location to town and waterfront. Large studio unit with balcony. Bonus of undercover parking.

Great place to stay!
• Armstrong (9/5): -
• jlmckinlay (10/5): A lovely stay - This motel is one of the loveliest motels we have ever stayed in. We were greeted warmly with a pint of milk for our tea/coffee. Our large room had 2 decks, one large overlooking the town and with a peekaboo ocean view. The cooking facilities were perfect and could be closed off from the rest of the room with a door. The location is fantastic, a short walk to the ocean front and all the shops. Everything was immaculate and perfect.

• Jody (7/5): - Great hosts very friendly and helpful. In a great position walking distance to everything

• Mary (10/5): It was in a great spot and the staff were very helpful -

• Rebecca (9/5): - Location and view where fantastic Nothing we mentioned the couple of issues we had to the manager on duty and she apologized on behalf of owners who were away.
• Brooklyn (10/5): Perfect Location, Comfortable Stay & Fantastic Host - We had a great stay here. The location is perfect — right in town and just one street back from the waterfront, so everything was an easy walk. The two-bedroom apartment had been newly renovated and was modern, comfortable, and very clean. The air conditioning was a big plus and definitely appreciated in late January. Reid was an excellent host and a wealth of local knowledge. We followed several of his recommendations for activities and places to eat, and he absolutely nailed it every time. Would happily stay again. Nothing.
• Nadia (8/5): - Room was sufficient. We didn’t like the fact the rooms weren’t cleaned daily as we were there for 3 nights
• Jodie (10/5): -
• Alastair (10/5): - Super Clean location close to restaurants and attractions Nothing
• Stanislav (10/5): - Perfect, quiet location and very clean. The staff were so friendly and super helpful. Beautiful modern room. Beds very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. Will definitely stay here again. BBQ was a bonus. Nothing. Everything was ok.

• Sara (10/5): We had an amazing stay, thanks to the hosts. - Excellent hosts, parking, all room amenities available and location was close to access to activities. Reid and Ann provided a lot of information about local activities and even organised the Bay of Islands cruise for our family. Nothing to dislike!
• Janelle (6/5): Relaxing and a great escape from from the busyiness of life - The location of the motel was brilliant. It was a an easy 5 min walk to the main street that has so many options for dining. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment which suited my family perfectly. There was only limited cooking facilities but were were already aware of this on booking. It was very clean and house cleaning was available everyday. We had an outdoor area we could sit out and look at the bay, the view was beautiful. It was very quiet and peaceful The only real difficulty we experienced was the internet was not very reliable and slow but we managed this without to many problems
• danni (10/5): -

• Robert (8/5): -
• Janet (9/5): 3 night girls trip - The location was great. Views of water from the deck and close to shops but a block back from main street which was quieter. Couches and beds were comfy Nothing bad to report. It's an old building and maybe a refresh of paint inside but bathroom had been reburished

• Danielle (10/5): - Everything! Elaine welcomed me and what a wonderful lady she was, so friendly and personable. I was in room 4 (apartment) was fabulous, very well laid out and spotless. I felt so incredibly comfortable. The location was just perfect, I could see the sea from my balcony and it was literally 1 minute walk from the front. I would definitely stay here in the future and would highly recommend. The facilities were great, kitchen and all the utensils and appliances as well.
• Nick (5/5): We paid NZD405/night for this unit. It simply was not worth this amount. - Wifi excellent - fast and efficient. Beds very comfortable; kitchen facilities very good; location couldn't be better, close to beach and restaurants; undercover parking. There was some renovation in the unit, however there was a lot of mould on the main bedroom ceiling; the shower pressure was very low; the laminate flooring had been laid poorly throughout - every step caused a creak in the boards. These were not laid flat at all. Our room was supposed to be ready by 1pm - we arrived at 1.40pm and it was not ready due to an issue with the previous occupant. The motel manager should have rung us before we arrived to tell us about this.
• Michael (10/5): -
• Friederike (9/5): - ,Die Lage ist optimal, man erreicht alle Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten fußläufig. Auch der Strand und Golfplatz sind in der Nähe.
