Clean and pleasant room with an awesome view!!! Position was prime and host was friendly and polite.
Convenient location, comfortable room, helpful and friendly staff. A good place to stay in Paihia. Walking distance to Waitangi Treaty Grounds and to the city pier with ferries to Russell.
Wonderful stay and great quiet spot at Paihia next to the beach and a few mins walk to the town centre. Bed was very comfortable and service was ace with Jimmy dropping off our luggage to the bus stop as our shuttle to Auckland was in th afternoon. Functional laundry room which was convenient with fish and chips, petrol stop and superrettenext door. Thank you Jimmy and hope to be ack again soon!
Really nice motel in a great location in Paihia. Across the road from a lovely beach and a short walk to everything in town. I had a fairly basic double room, but everything clean and tidy. Very comfortable and I will certainly stay again.
