Good location in walking distance to the wharf and shops. Nice freshly prepared breakfast delivered to your door. Very accommodating with additional parking for the boat, safe and secure.
Bed was a bit soft but that personal preference.

A well run family owned and operated motel conveniently located in the heart of Paihia. The hosts were warm and friendly and went above and beyond to help me particularly when i'd had a cancelled flight and required transport.

The location of the motel is perfect. The beach is just there and so are restaurants etc. There is plenty of parking. The breakfast was amazing. The best croissants I have ever had and a great variety of fresh fruit. I even got a mince pie on Christmas day which coming from the states was extra special. I would stay here again and recommend the place to others.
Everything was as expected. A bonus would have been a drying rack for wet towels etc as we were enjoying the activities there and were in the water every day.

The apartment is very spacious, clean and comfortable. The host is very friendly, preparing a tray of delicious breakfast in the morning. Paihia shopping centre and the ferry wharf is 10 minute walk, the view is stunning!

Convenient location in a beautiful spot. Thanks to Trevor who was a very friendly host and for his amazing breakfasts and hospitality, which set us up for a great day of sightseeing and exploring. As well as good advice about where to go and what to do.

Very friendly and generous owner who greeted us with a smile.
We even had a delicious breakfast brought to our room.
Overall a great small motel with a warm and caring couple who made sure we would feel totally comfortable during our stay and we did.

Clean room -large bathroom and shower. Room was clean and tidy.

There were many beautiful personal touches, from the initial meet and greet, with ideas of interesting outings given. Delicious breakfast with a different menu each morning, delivered with a smile and presented exceptionally. Central enough to walk to most of where we wanted to go, but far enough out to be quiet and private.
Our only issue was that the bed was too soft for our comfort. However, this is not enough to deter us from wanting to return in the future.

Excellent , large breakfasts but....
...no obvious way to choose smaller breakfasts or alternatives when the fixed menu wasn't suitable.

Breakfast was good. Something different offered each day.
Location was good. On the main road but far enough from town central so not to noisy
Bed was ok but pillows need replacing. Room not particularly clean, cobwebs in corner of room. Door to bathroom difficult to open and shut. Room was old and badly needs refreshing. Condensation on windows. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone or stay agaiin

Was very handy to walk to the bars and shops. Loved the breakfast that Trevor bought to our room each morning. Very clean and tidy. Most definitely go back there next time we are there.

There is a free breakfast brought to your room each morning, and different each day. There is a main item, (omelet, bagel w/salmon) and a nice fruit plate. The location is about a ten minute walk from the main part of town and right across the road from the Paihia to Opua trail start. This end of the trail is only available at low tide. If the tide is up, walk over the hill on the sidewalk until the beach is there. Cross over a bridge and into the bush on the left to finish this great walk.
This was one of the only places where the water tasted bad enough to make us buy bottled water.

The location is fantastic. The family is spacious and well stocked with the essentials. The hosts are very friendly and extremely helpful.
The breakfasts are outstanding. Far exceeded our expectations. The price for the accommodation is very fair for the property.
Our only issue was water pressure in the shower which was very weak.

Loved this motel. Location excellent. Good sized living room, comfortable big rooms and bathroom. Breakfast was brilliant and made with so much attention (bagel with salmon and cream cheese on day 1 and fab omelette on day 2). Staff extremely kind and accommodating ( we had to move our booking by a day and they did this for us). They also went above and beyond with cleaning and even folded our clothes.
Cannot recommend this place enough!
