Comfortable with a fantastic view

The view from our room was stunning. We had a thunderstorm at night with a fantastic light show. Sat and watched it go all around us.

The property is aging and showing a few tell tale signs. But the staff and the view make up for that

Shame to have such a great view but very tired facility

Splendid view, quiet

No privacy with neighbours on outside patio, no shelter from sun or rain. Older complex partially renovated inside, still old bed and sofa covered with a grey protector. Guest laundry unacceptable, old and dirty. No fire alarm Very steep and difficult driveway/ parking

Can't beat those views!

Fantastic views of the countryside, bay and river. Look one way to see gorgeous sunset and turn around to see beautiful pink reflections on the other side. Everywhere smelt heavenly - a mix of jasmine & honeysuckle growing. Peaceful, relaxing, quiet. Pool was good. Friendly, helpful owners too. I would definitely go again. Very safe environment, you could leave doors & windows wide open, day & night.

Got a couple of mosquito/insect bites at dusk so had to come inside & close doors still got lovely views

We really enjoyed our stay and felt welcomed by hosts. Would return.

The management very friendly. The pool was lovely and the rooms spacious

Beautiful views and location. Paihia is in such a beautiful part of New Zealand. Norm and Shelagh were most welcoming. After the whole world has been locked down it was so nice to visit such a friendly and accommodating motel. Would definitely return.

Lovely hosts out dated accommodation beautiful view

Location fantastic. no breakfast but wasn't expecting breakfast. Lovely hosts cant fault them. Its was an out dated room. Needs to a bit of work. Only 2 channels on TV. Some things wasn't as clean as should have been, but over all good. Great location

Bit more eye to detail. Found a pie in the microwave from last people? It just needs updating but not a bad place to stay. Hosts are very accommodating & very Welcoming. Just don't expect to much from the room, but was clean enough.

3.0 / 10.0

very disappointing

wonderful views from our room

First impressions when entering the property we new it wasn’t going to be good. The check in office was very untidy and dirty and the surrounds outside the office needed some much needed TLC. Very old property definitely needs an update stuck in the seventies with the decor, beds where uncomfortable curtains in the rooms threadbare class sliding door to our room wouldn’t lock. The owners were very nice but I think it’s all to much for them to look after the property. it’s such a shame as it could be nice if they did some maintenance. very disappointing as the photos on bookings.com don’t match the property. the only positive for this hotel is the view and the pool was very clean.

10.0 / 10.0

wonderful stay. would definitely go back again and again.

We liked everything especially our hosts Norm and Shelagh. They both took time to show us round our apartment and explained where everything was and how things worked. the views across the bay and surrounding countryside were spectacular.

Would definitely stay again very comfortable.

lovely hosts , the bed was very comfortable which was great. View was amazing. As it was pet friendly it helped us so much as we had our 2 small dogs with us. Value for money.

TV was not good. only 2 clear Chanel’s. we love to relax watching tv during evening but was nothing much to watch.

A slice of paradise in Paihia!

The view is fantastic. Awesome hosts to deal with. Professional, very friendly, accommodating. Highly recommended. Thank you Norm & Shelagh.

Nothing that I do not like.

8.0 / 10.0

Very good

The hosts were so friendly and helpful and made us feel right at home as well as our puppy. The rooms were really nice and clean and there was excellent utensils in the kitchen far more than anywhere else I have stayed.

I thought everything was great and I only have a suggestion. The bed spread, coach cover, and curtains made the room feel a bit dated, by just adding a new fresh bed spread I think it would really lift the place but otherwise it was perfect.

8.0 / 10.0

Very good

The view was INCREDIBLE - even on a rainy day. The driveway is long and step so the hotel has a very elevated outlook. The hosts were very friendly and approachable. We enjoyed out conversations with them and they made us feel very welcome. They happily loaned us a few dvds from their extensive collection which helped entertain our kids during a rainy day. The size of our unit was very generous and the rooms were well laid out and nicely furnished. Having a pool (although unheated) was an extra bonus.

We had a few old spiderwebs in the corners of the rooms and there was a long-term collection of dust in some places. We did find a piece of cracker under the bedside table and a bottle lid under the dining table. Not the end of the world though.
