5.0 / 10.0

We booked this trip late and hence paid over our usual budget. We were a bit worried that we were overpaying based on a few reviews. But we neednt have worried, we couldnt fault the place really. The hosts were very helpful, the room was really well equipped and the view was simply stunning. We would stay here again for sure. The only tip I would give is to take some cream for the sand flies

2.0 / 10.0

The view was great. The property is very steep to get to. The owners are very good at justifying the way they do things. I found them very unapproachable. The room daily cleaning was average. We weren’t told until too late that soaps and shampoos were in a cupboard. It seems that the owners feel they have modern good quality furniture but I think they really have no idea what that means. The rate was high even for Easter weekend compared to other places. Although the owners told us it was fair. I think they are in a World if their own and do not like constructive feedback so will have a reason for everything.

1.5 / 10.0

Stayed here for 2 nights towards the end of our North Island tour. Check in was smooth. Both Norm and his wife are genuinely nice people and very warm, welcoming and helpful. Unfortunately, we had one of the two rooms that don't have a view (totally our choice tho). We were informed that the internet had been down for a couple of weeks - not just at the hotel but many other hotels in the area. Our room (pool view) was spacious but was definitely showing some age. The carpet is old and stained. Curtains frayed in a couple of places. We were disappointed to find a couple of spider webs (not very recent) and informed Norm later (so he could speak to the cleaning crew) and he was a bit surprised as well. Shelagh was really nice - she recommended restaurants to us and also volunteered to book a trip to Cape Reinga which turned out to be a good idea. It would have been nice if we had been informed about the Wi-Fi in advance of our stay. And perhaps offered an upgrade or a different room since more than 50% of the units were available at the time even if they charged us extra. There is no AC but there is a standing fan in the room. Location is good - 5 mins to the center of the town - restaurants, groceries etc. Overall it was a decent stay but it wouldn't be fair to say it was Excellent. We stayed at more than 10 motels in NZ and this one didn't hold up its end of the bargain based on price point and other reviews.

3.0 / 10.0

Welcoming owners on arrival not to be seen again until leaving after 3 wet miserable days. Room clean but dated and damp. Uncomfortable double bed. No fresh air to room as no fly wire on windows and lots of mosquitos. 5klms out of Paihia and steep walk. Stick to town area!

We enjoyed our stay at Cooks Lookout. What a beautiful location, and very friendly hosts. They were so thoughtful and helpful with their suggestions and ideas for what to do and see in the area.

2.5 / 10.0

We sat for hours every day and enjoyed the magnificent views from our private and secluded terrace. It was very quiet at night and our room was spacious and fully equipped. The hosts were very kind and had tons of colourful stories to tell!Perfect stay for us and we decided to extend stay one more night than we had originally planned for. This is where we will return when we come back to New Zealnd and the Bay of Islands in the future.By the way, the hosts have a huge DVD library of films that they lend out.We dont usually watch TV but after completing the Tongariro Alpine Crossing two days prior to our stay we decided to watch one of the films from the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

This was undoubtedly the best accommodation we had during our 2 weeks tour of the North Island travelling as a family of 5. Everything was just superb. Every day we were grateful that we chose this place out of many possibilities in Paihia. The view is literally breath-taking and the owners were extremely helpful and eager to make us feel welcome.

Our stay of four days was so memorable and our only regret was that it wasnt longer. We have stayed at numerous 5 star rated places in our lifetime but none of them provide the relaxed comfort and welcoming atmosphere provided by our hosts Norm and Shelagh. Their constant interest and advises in our planned stay in the area ensured that we missed nothing and nothing was ever too much trouble. Thank you both so much for everything

We had been touring Australia and New Zealand for almost 3 months, and decided to stay here for 3 nights to unwind before returning to the UK. Our room was somewhat dated, but clean. The owners of the hotel were very helpful with information on the area.We had a lovely stay, the area is very pretty.

Very warm welcome from our hosts. The views are every bit as lovely as they look online! Cooks Look Out has your typical NZ motel facilities BUT this place has a pool which was lovely to cool off in after a day of activities. It's a 5 min dive to Paihia itself but this was no problem for us as we appreciated the tranquility. There is also a wide selection of DVDs on offer in case you'd like a night in.

View from the room is excellent, facilities are average but OK for a remote location, no A/C and no insect screens on the windows or doors, small TV fixed high on wall with limited channels to view. Driveway very steep, difficult to access and park or turn the car around.

We enjoyed our 3 nights here as the motel setting is quiet with fantastic views over the Bay of Islands and with a lovely warm swimming pool. A short drive to local supermarket and all the facilities of the local town.

We chose this hotel because of the view and were not disappointed. Even when the weather was poor, we could enjoy the sights from the room and could get the best of the rainbows!
