Fabulous Home Away From Home

Wow. Could not believe the view we had for the price we paid. Booked a studio but it felt bigger being so self contained. We had everything we needed for our three night stay with dining area, full kitchen and couch. Room was comfortable and the shower excellent. We really enjoyed the ambience of this motel. Walking distance to everything. We opened the curtains every morning and just enjoyed the seaview. Even though motel is situated near main road, from our upstairs unit we did not hear any road noise. Highly recommended

Perfect location

We have stayed here on 3 or 4 previous occasions in the past. We came back here because of the ideal location and comfort of the motel. As always we were welcomed in a very friendly manner and offers of any assistance we may have wanted was offered. Full cooking facilities and utensils are provided and the furnishings are comfortable. We stayed in a unit overlooking the Bay with just a five minute stroll to local restaurants and shops. We did unfortunately have a slight mishap in the unit which would have resulted in some extra cleaning, but our offer to pay for any additional costs was declined. We will certainly return here on our next visit to Paihia.

Staff where friendly. Room was OK. Some black mold on ceiling over toilet/shower. Light over toilet would only work some times. Please stop using curly bulbs they are unattractive and LED are better energy savers. Need more channels for TV or go Internet TV
