Great Motel

A lovely place with a great view of the bay! Can feel a little bit exposed, the lacy blinds are a little bit too see through. Would also be really nice if there were hooks by the door to hang coats etc. Great location, walking distance to all the tourist things!

Host was awesome and lovely, location is amazing and right in the middle of everything in Paihia. The motel itself is a little older but honestly nothing to fuss about with the service/cleanliness and location.

8/10 Very good

Nice place to stay, typical older motel, but very nice. Clean, bed was okay for 1 night. Friendly and close to everything. Recommend you stay.
Bruce, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed in an ocean view unit at the front of the property and for the price it was fantastic. Short walk to restaurants and shops. Our room was small, but clean. There are larger rooms, but we intentionally chose room 7, I think, for more privacy than the other units. The furnishings and room in general has “tired” decor so if you’re looking for modern and updated this isn’t for you. If you’re looking for a great stay on a budget this should fit your needs and price point.
Joanie, 2-night trip

John was friendly and full of local and short distance suggestions. Room was very comfortable and beach was great.
