- Shelley (7/5): This is the second time we have stayed here. Great location to walk to everything in town. -
- Paul (7/5): Location, Price and Clean. All ticks - Location is great.
Staff are nice.
Bed was clean and comfy. Room is small and shower floor feels like it is rotten underneath.Very spongy..
Room needs modernising
- Gunn (6/5): -
- Scott (6/5): - Convenience to town centre
- Velardi (4/5): - great location no mixer taps in kitchen sink very hard to use.. outside entry steps very old wooden and slippery in rain quite dangerous.
- Janette (3/5): Give this one a miss - Bed comfortable good shower Noisy to close to busy Rd ..Not waterfront as advertised
- Wendy (3/5): Booking.com charged us more to stay there than our friends who paid directly at the motel. - Location. Comfy bed. Room layout. Not enough car parks and some parks were used by staff and blocked guests from being able to park properly.
Lack of face cloths in bathroom and poor restocking of supplies.
Very poor communication skills from the moteliers. One bloke could not speak English at all and spent a lot of time out back on his phone yelling at people and his voice travelled up into our room. Also owner had uncontrolled barking dog
- elliott (8/5): -
- Graeme (7/5): -
- Theo (7/5): -
- Thomas (7/5): Nice and clean and comfortable but probably not worth what I paid - Nice facilities if a little dated in places Way too pricey
- Jane (6/5): -
- Lyn (8/5): - Location. Quite after 10pm. Hair in the bathroom sink. Hopefully it was an oversight. An older place that could do with some TLC
- Robin (9/5): Small kitchen was a bonus. Value for money. - Location was excellent. Nothing
- Philip (1/5): will not stay again and would not recomend - nothing nothing
- Walker (10/5): - Staff, very friendly and so helpful.

Car parking on site.
Close to the beach for swimming, Nil
- Sheik Habeeb (4/5): -
- David (5/5): Basic old motel. - Convenience to beach and shops Saw big hole in curtain on entering our room. Bird poo also on curtain. Manager didn't believe us when we told him. Very rude manager. No apology.
Wifi does not work. Should not be advertised.
People smoking outside drifts into rooms.
Basic old motel.
- John (7/5): - Shower, car park, only iron board with no iron,
- Lesley (9/5): - Location was perfect and facilities adequate for short stay Just a few things that needed attention that we told owner about. They were grateful to be told about the hot tap at kitchen sink needing tightening. New seal required on bathroom sink plug as lost water. Seating a bit low for sitting at table. Was house floor needing cleaning and more pegs required for clothesline
- Barb (8/5): -
- Verme Jessica (7/5): - The size of the room and bathroom were big
Small kitchenette very useful
Nice and friendly staff The furniture is old and the mattress too soft
The cleanliness coule be better as well in the ceiling and the ventilation
- Richard (5/5): Very over priced - Location I fell it is a bit run down and over priced if it was cheaper it would be fine
- Megan (5/5): Accommodating hosts allowing early key collection. Extremely pleasant to communicate with. - The location was exactly what we needed in order to get to the ferry yet overpriced.
Uncomfortable bed.
The hosts are friendly and accommodating but we wouldn't stay again. The bed was extremely firm, and the television was in a location that both people could not see it from the bed. The shower heads are quite low.
- Gudrun (8/5): -
- Glenn (5/5): Location good - Location No sound insulation between units. Owners’ dog whined from dawn right outside unit’s window
- Markus (8/5): Für eine Nacht iO länger will ich hier nicht bleiben - Schnell am Hafen, Supermarkt und in den Restaurants. Durften auch nach dem Checkout nich bis 4pm stehen bleiben als wir in Russell waren. Etwas in die Jahre gekommen, Renovierung nötig vor allen im Bad. Bei Holz geht lack ab, wirkt nicht so schön, durch Wasserspritzer wird es nicht besser.
- Toni (10/5): -
- bedford (5/5): Poor - Need new beds worn out and un comfortable
- Huu Binh (4/5): Over- priced for this tiny studio. - Ok comfortable. Poor WiFi content. Only local programs. No Netflix or other
- Valter (7/5): -
- Martin (8/5): -
- Del Piccolo (10/5): -
- Wendy (3/5): Great location - let down by facilities - Central location meant everything was in walking distance. Wifi was patchy.
TV didn’t get all channels it said.
Parking was quite narrow and difficult
- KellyAnne (6/5): It was a last minute decision to stay another night and owner/operator was helpful and kind. we easily got four roo - So close to all amenities in Paihia. Walking distance Floor was spongy in bathroom, outdated and dog whined all night. Pull out couch smelt mouldy.
- Parmar (10/5): -
- Rihari (8/5): -
- Nicholas (8/5): -
- Tracee (8/5): -
- gea1411 (5/5): הטיול עצמו היה נהדר כל ההפלגות וכל הסיורים היו נפלאים לגבי מקום עצמו אני לא חושבת שהייתי חוזרת - המיקום מצוין מאוד קרוב למזח ולכל המסעדות האינטרנט היה בונוס מכיוון שהיה מספיק מהיר בחיבור הרבה מכשירים עבדתי במקום ולא היו ניתוקים המקום עשוי עץ יש הרבה חרקים קטנים ונמלים לצערי כל השהות שלי נלחמתי עם נמלים לגבי הניקיון המיטה והשירותים היו די נקיים איך השטיח עצמו מלא אבק אני טיפה הזזתי שולחן ליד המיטה וגיליתי עוצר של עכבישים ואבק לי יש אלרגיה מתונה לאבק ולא יכולתי להיות בחדר ללא תרופות אך אני יכולה להבין את הבעלים במקומות שיש שטיח זה תמיד קורה
- Rachael (5/5): Not top end but functional - Location
- Ross (8/5): - Great location Lot of weeds and moss accumulated on property.
Outrigger sign near the entrance that would be illuminated faded to the point of being unreadable.
- Chris (8/5): Good but a bit overpriced for a tired room - Close to where we needed to be Faulty room fire alarm
- maria medeia (3/5): -
- Steve (7/5): Okay. - Location. AC Room was a bit cramped. No table on one side of the bed. Walls paper thin.
- Lise J. (8/5): Convenient and clean - Convenient with parking close to your room. Clean.
Very close to supermarket and to cosy small shops and local restaurants.
Easy to get from this motel into the diving center for diving the wreck Canterbury. Difficult to talk to the personal because of bad English.
The light of the room was strange with no bed lights.
Damp in the bathroom got the painting to start falling off.
- McGregor (7/5): -
- Josephine (8/5): - Parking very good. Room clean. Kitchen well provided if you chose to cook. No complaints
- Lorraine (8/5): -
- "Anon (7/5): Follow up after emergency alarm would be expected - Location was great for what we wanted In the early morning of our last day the emergency fire alarm went off in all units, we were preparing to evacuate when it was turned off. There was no communication with any staff we just didn't see them. And had no follow-up or explanation.
- N0elineL (2/5): Don’t stay here. - Level of service disgusting. When I arrived it was raining and there was no offer to help with my luggage. No parking close to unit. Have no operational tv, back door of unit wouldn’t open . I checked out after being offered a refund. Room itself was not to bad but differently wouldn’t recommend
- paul (6/5): - Okay
- Allison (8/5): The room was comfortable and clean. - The room had a rustic feel but was clean and tidy. It is located off the main road but still in walking distance to the ferry and other resturants and shops. The reception area is not tidy. It gives a feeling that the rooms will be the same but they were nice.
- Paul (8/5): - Comfortable room (ambience 'slightly dated/well used'), containing kitchenette and all the gadgets we wanted. The wooden upstairs walkway to our room seemed slightly shaky but in reality wasn't a problem. The location is excellent, at the heart of the town and close to the ferry pier.
- William (9/5): Superb -
- Holly (7/5): Good - Was a good location, and they let us check in early Was fairly average for the price
- Candace (10/5): Exceptional - Accommodated us with early check in when other hotels wouldn't, awesome manager, didn't see them but made our stay easy. Would book again if we were in the area.
- Fay (7/5): Overnight stay, staff let us leave our car in their carpark for additional 30 mins after check out - Location Facilities dated
- Debbie (8/5): Very good -
- Ian (6/5): Pleasant - Good location free parking Badly in need of a makeover. Laminex went out in the 60's.
Chips on the edge of table.
- Karen (7/5): Location, walking distance to cafes and beach. - Location Musty smell, out dated room, stained bedding, but tidy. Over priced for what you get. I’ve stayed in much nicer for less.
- Paul (6/5): Pleasant - Location was great , Was what can be expected from a 3 star accommodation. Pretty basic Language barrier......could not speak English .
- Corinne (6/5): - Close to Paihia shops - convenient location
- John (8/5): - Close to town, and waterfront.
- Lyn (8/5): Very good -
- Jeremy (8/5): Very good -
- Pete (7/5): Good -
- Davison (9/5): An amazing stay - So central and comfortable
- Jean (7/5): Great location. - Location. Decent size room. It said rooms serviced daily. Because I had roughly pulled the bedding over it was not serviced. Left bed untidy after that and servicing was done. New people checking in 1115 at night. Noisy and staff member checking them in talking very noisy too. Consideration for other guests trying to sleep was ignored.
- Kenneth (10/5): Exceptional -
- Graham (8/5): Comfortable and convenient - An older facility but well maintained. Comfortable bed and nice place to stay. Very tight parking especially for medium sized cars. Very close and convenient to shops and ferries.
- Sam (10/5): Exceptional - Location
- Irena (8/5): Comfortable room - good facilities - had all items we needed. - N/A Wifi - couldn’t complete a zoom meeting.
- West (7/5): Good - Motel location is close to the City Centre, it’s a minute walking distance to the local 4 Square and Pahia Fish & Chip takeaways store. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We only had two towels for 5 people in one room and two towels in the other for 4 people. Our bedside draws had crumbs in all draws, the curtain netting and curtains had food spillage on them plus the roof on arrival, the carpet had a lot of stains on it. One of the bedroom doors was broken on arrival as there Isn’t any door stopper installed. We had a salad bowl that wasn’t cleaned properly looked like it was washed with jif and left to dry. We only had two types of Tea to choose from in our rooms no coffee.
- Tui (10/5): - Great place to stay, definitely will again in the future. Very convenient
- Bryan (10/5): - Property was in a great location. The area was quiet. Affordable, yet spacious. We were able to make some of our own meals with the use of the fridge, stove and microwave that were provided.
Minor concerns: lightbulb missing in the storage off the bathroom, a few carpet stains, the hot water tap needs to be locked in place as it turns when you turn it on.
- Ia (9/5): Very comfortable, relaxing. Had everything I needed. - I thought the location was fantastic, and the facilities were very nice. Very comfortable unit to relax at night. The staff there didn't speak much English, but are very respectful and helpful. the stairs may need a safety surface on them. During rainy days, you had to mindful of not slipping down the stairs. apart from that everything was excellent.
- Sanjay (6/5): - Very close to shopping and food places. It needs an upgrade like the bathroom facilities. The drainage in bath was not good . It took a while before it drained.
- Abagail (5/5): All in all was what I could get at last minute and the place was clean and tidy. - The room was exactly as described… compact yet functional.
Police station right next door was a plus for such a busy night in town. Staff were quite ‘flat’ with no real enthusiasm or energy upon arrival and departure.
Parking inside the facility was a joke, luckily there was plenty roadside.
- Garvey (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vinod (9/5): Friendly service and ideal location. - Location.
- Yvette (10/5): - Great spot
- Debbie L (10/5): - Super nice staff
- Cheryl (8/5): Handy and value for money only down side was the tight parking, but there was parking. -
- Greg (10/5): Great value, well-located accommodation. - Very clean and well-located near town. The little kitchenette was perfect for cooking light meals. We liked being on the upper floor for privacy on the deck. The parking lot was exceptionally tight. We were concerned that our hire car would get damaged by the opening of other car doors. However, there is another (paid) parking lot across the street as an option.
- Margaret (9/5): Superb -
- Phoebe (7/5): Good - Great location and facilities. Bed was hard and fridge very noisy.

- Stacy (6/5): - Overall the property was nice. The lady at the front did not speak English so she had to call someone to translate. Not a big deal. They were very nice. The beds were a bit worn and there was no shower curtain on the shower. There also was no fan in the bathroom so it could get very steamy.
