Alfa Boutique Motel

Comfortable and clean. Under cover carpark with the units above so they are very private. Good location on the southern side of town. I have stayed here before.

Great location. Our unit was quite spacious as well. Only about 2 mins walk from the beach and about 10 mins walk from the centre. Owners are very nice and friendly. They also welcome house trained pets which is a bonus so you can bring you fur babies with you.

Nothing really. Units are a bit old but I'm sure the owners do their best to keep it well maintained.

The room was lovely, spacious and light and felt very tropical sitting on the balcony being surrounded by foliage. Seems on the slightly more expensive side but I think that's the case across NZ, that accommodation is a bit overpriced in general. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, and it was useful having the little kitchenette in the room.

The TV didn't work properly, we were unable to change channels at all. Other than that everything was great.

As we were staying a week the host kindly upgraded us to an apartment rather than a studio. It was well equipped with virtually everything we needed for our stay. The garden space was a bonus as was undercover parking. Spotlessly clean and rooms serviced daily. Had aircon

Decor was a bit dated. A washing machine in the apartment would have been good.

Location was ideal, with good kitchen facilities and a veranda to sit out on.

Decor a little shabby and dated. Steep driveway down to parking area. Unable to secure bathroom window.?

We stayed for 2 nights with our 10 month old daughter and the studio room was perfect - kitchen, air con, good shower pressure, comfy beds, and a travel cot was provided. And just a 2 minute walk to the beach!

Location, comfort and ease of stay.

Milk should be provided at least a litre per day. Also, coffee should be provided enough for four persons per day because we booked four person room.

Location great

I think the owners maybe a bit old to run a motel. Not always accessible at reception or by phone too. Their dog also had a bit of a nip at my legs. Was more worried about the dog having a go at my 4-year old son if he was at on the drive. Room was pretty average as well for the price.

Clean and tidy, great easy walking distance to town, but most importantly it is dog friendly. The apartment was also ideal as we had the lawn out the front where we could tie the dogs up on some grass as opposed to have them inside the whole time. (The apartments are up stairs so you only have the balcony for them)

Nothing - the room is a little dated but that doesn’t affect anything!

It was further away than we thought.

The water was scalding hot, & the place downstairs needed a tidy up.

The owner of Alfa Boutique Hotel picked us up in downtown Paihia where the Intercity bus dropped us off. She welcomed us and orienting us to this small town. Wendy is a sweetheart.The bed was comfortable and the air-conditioning quiet and needed. Sitting on the balcony in the early evening, catching the breeze was a lovely way to spend the early evening.

Great location. Parking. Helpful and friendly staff.

Location, Pet Friendly, Comfortable Beds

Good value for money. Very comfortable.The garden was amazingStaff was pleasant and helped.Location was excellent (3 min walk from a beautiful beach)

We had an amazing stay for 2 nights. Room was clean, had cooking facilities. Dog friendly accommodation with cute little balcony.Walking distance to beach n pahia town.

It was in a good spot

A little messy around the guest laundry and carpark area.The host was a little aloof, not knowing much about our booking, needing to be shown our confirmation and payment emails, then complaining about having to retrieve the money

Location good, easy walk to the beach, great off road parking, friendly hosts.

Noise of other residents early morning and late evening talking loudly, below us and next to us on verandah.

Comprehensive Kitchen with various appliances

The shower is a bit old (at least in our room), however bathroom was clean.

Location was fabulous....5 minutes walk to beach and 10 minute walk to bars/cafes/shops

Very closer I the beach and town- quick and easy walking distance. Spacious garden to look out on. Friendly hosts.

Being on the main road meant that we heard all the traffic, all day and night.
