Was a pleasant stay with comfy well equipped rooms, although I feel they are over priced by $20 - $30 per night. Was surprised to find upon checking in that free wifi is only for 100 MB....I wish motels/hotels would state clearly in their advertising there is a limit if this is the case as it is important to me...

The room was nice and clean. The hotel location is good just walk across the road to the bay. Good scenic view. It is not far to walk to the ferry. The staff is nice. The spa bath worked well. The kitchen was nice for cooking.

From start to finish,this has been the best accommodation. We felt that Denis & Ails treated us just like their best friends. The motel itself is an example as to how a motel should be presented. Everything was neat,tidy & well organised. Even the kitchen utensils are arranged in a special position .And all of the motel is spotless. The... More

We were recommended this motel by friends on our first visit to Paihia so having enjoyed our stay we used it again for our second visit. The good position of the motel at the beginning of the road into Paihia means it is quiet and our first floor room meant we had a good view over the front grounds to... More

We stayed here for 2 nights on the upper floor. The view of the bay was magnificent. The bed was very comfortable and the room was both spacious and clean. The staff were most friendly & answered our email enquiry within hours when we were booking our room. We will be back for sure :)

Aileen welcomed us and offered a wonderful upgrade. After 2 weeks in campervan in the South Island the bed was so wonderful. I should mention the amenities in the room. All the little shower potions were in place, but most wonderful was the very complete hot beverage service including tea, instant coffee, ground coffee for plunger coffeee (French Press) and... More

Stayed here for three nights in March. The room itself was very good, with a king-sized bed in the main room, and two singles in a back bedroom (which we did not have to use). The room was well-equipped and modern. What spoilt it for us was the fact that the room was entered by a large french window at... More

Our room was spacious, comfortable, and clean although very basic and the kitchenette well-equipped. We were disappointed to find our room right at the end of the driveway on the ground floor (perhaps because we'd booked a special price?); however, other than not having a proper patio for our table and chairs, we were surprised to find we were not...

I thought I had booked just a basic room, the web site does not do it justice, lovely room, very modern, spotless great facilities. We were at the front on the ground floor which doesn't ''qualify'' for a view rating apparently but it should, wonderful view out over the water.
