We love the Paradise Inn as it is close to town, rooms are very clean and the place has a great vibe - it is so relaxing. It has an awesome deck with an honesty bar where you can sit and watch the amazing sunsets. The new Managers are just great - we will back

We absolutely love the Paradise Inn and it was so great being back there especially now that there are new managers. The hotel was looking a bit neglected until the new managers took over just a short time ago. We always enjoy returning there and now the Inn is so sparkly clean and friendly again. We are so glad Mata... More

Teina and his wife Gail, were 2 of the loveliest people I met on my holiday. I was greeted with "Welcome Home" and it definitely felt that way. They were extremely welcoming and helpful and I enjoyed every minute I spent with them. Paradise Inn is a great and convenient place to stay, especially if you're on a budget. Walking... More

We arrived at 7:00 A.M., after an all night flight from L.A., and the manager, Teina, graciously offered us an early check-in. He greeted us with a hug and " Welcome Home", which was exactly what we needed at that moment. The place immediately felt like home and Teina could not have been nicer. He helped us any way that...

Paradise Inn is a nice place to stay on this relaxing island. If you are arriving at the time when the bus operates, you can take bus (4 NZD) directly to Paradise Inn as one of the bus-stops is right in front, otherwise the taxi is 20 NZD. It is located at the edge of the city, offering enough privacy,... More

The Paradise Inn has quickly become my home away from home. I have had a wonderful stay and greatly enjoyed this hotel. The building has a lot of character and features fantastic common rooms opening up onto a large deck overlooking the beach (fully equipped with tables, umbrellas, chairs, a hammock, and a beautiful view of the sunset each evening!)....

We stayed at Paradise Inn overnight before flying out to Auitutaki. Despite arriving at 1am, we were given a wam welcome, and Teina was extremely helpful the following morning. The property, though basic, was beautifully clean and well presented. The history of the building as an old dance hall was fascinating, and the communal area with the honesty system worked... More
