Great location, great view, guy at the front desk was friendly and helpful, very clean
Wow what a view from beachfront studio. Generous size with everything thing you could need. Staff Excellent. We stayed early April and very peaceful and quiet at night. Lovely to lay in bed and hear waves lapping the shore. Laundry was modern I used dryer which was good value $6. Takeaway Shop just around corner. Just walk across the road to safe beach. Would love to stay there again. Some tours picked us up from our front door.

Perfect location in Paihia. Bed was very comfortable and massive room which was fab and sliding doors off to balcony each side. Friendly host.
Hotel is a little dated but very clean. A few more touches like better shower gels etc would be a nice touch.

Lovely studio apartment just a cross the road from the beach.
Starting to look a little dated but had everything we needed for a lovely stay.
Great location and facilities but by far the best thing was the owner who could not do enough to make us feel welcome.He provided good advice on food and things to do as well as accommodated all our requests.
