    Pros +

    • The manager was very friendly and helpful. Our ground-floor apartment was clean and well-equipped. The beds were comfortable, and there were extra pillows and blankets if needed. Great location to walk into the centre of Paihia. The kitchen was well stocked with suitable crockery etc, and the bottle of milk was very welcome for a morning cup of tea.
    • Apartment was comfy, clean and spacious. Staff was great and overall, a great place to stay.
    • Great loca, great host,Clean and tidy

    Cons -

    • Nothing could have made the say better, it was great.
    • Most of the rooms are up a set of stairs not suitable for people with mobility issues.
    • This is the second time we have booked this place. Both times, we have found spiders and webs in the rooms. Also both times we have found cockroaches. Once in the bathroom, and this time inside the dishwasher. After that, we were reluctant to use any dishes. The owner cleaned everything out after we reported it, but because this was the second time, we feel that there could be a an issue.

    The motel was just a short walk from the water and shops. Elaine was so very accomodating, we arrived pre-noon due to a tropical storm cancelling our leisurely drive north, and she unquestioningly booked us in. The room was great. With the storm raging, power was out the following morning, but Elaine brought hot water, along with hot bacon (which was delicious, oved it!), and buttered bread - so breakfasted on a cheese (which had been brought along) and bacon sandwich and cup of hot chocolate! She was super and a great host!

    Nothing could have made the say better, it was great.

    Great location one street back from the foreshore. Short walk to restaurants, supermarket and jetty. Well equipped kitchenette - suitable for a 4 night stay. Staff very helpful, friendly and attentive. Lots of recommendations for the local area. Laundry area for use (at a charge) - well received after a few days on the road. Small balcony with glimpse of the water. Very comfortable bed and good shower pressure.

    Most of the rooms are up a set of stairs not suitable for people with mobility issues.

    Great location, very close to the city center. Staff was really friendly. Nice and tidy apartment with a full kitchen.

    This is the second time we have booked this place. Both times, we have found spiders and webs in the rooms. Also both times we have found cockroaches. Once in the bathroom, and this time inside the dishwasher. After that, we were reluctant to use any dishes. The owner cleaned everything out after we reported it, but because this was the second time, we feel that there could be a an issue.

    We had a great stay. Nice to have a little kitchen and balcony and close to everything but set back so it’s also quiet. Beautiful area and the property had everything we needed.Elaine was very helpful and looked after us if we needed anything.

    8AmandaPosted on: 1-28-2025

    Staff were helpful and friendly. Clean, big comfortable beds and a 5 min walk to the cafes and wharf. Only a 30 min walk to Waitangi.

    Water pressure was not very good

    This motel is well located, close to the water, shops and restaurants. The owners offer recommendations for activities (some can be arranged at the front desk) and restaurants, as well as membership discounts at the Swordfish Club. The room is quiet, spacious and the bed is comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. I loved the balcony, overlooking the water and the hillside, it is a great place for morning coffee and an evening beverage. There is parking on site included with the room.
