We arrived late,tired and hungry Aileen signed us in quickly gave directions for food and drinks and we were away. Couldn't believe how close to everything. Opposite beach and easy walk everywhere else. Aileen booked us into tours and gave us discount cards for restaurants all very good service. Would liked to have stayed longer than our 3 days but had to get away. We were finding Auckland booked out but Aileen found accom. near the airport where the hosts deliver you to the overseas terminal anytime day or night. Again great service. Loved Paihia would go back for longer relaxed stay anytime. Agree with Keith M on the smoking issue but rooms great and service friendly. Thanks Aileen.

Great location, great staff and all the amenities you need for a wonderful Bay of Islands holiday.
Close to town, close to beach and pool and hot tub on site to sit and watch the world go by.
Didn't want to leave....

Great place to stay, very convenient, easy to find - right on beach and close to centre.
Small (but adequate) pool if needed. Kitchenette was a real bonus. All facilities and clean and tidy.
Aileen was great, very friendly and helpful - small shared balcony only reason it did not get 5.
Wish we had stayed longer - maybe next time.
Thanks for a great stay.

This motel is superbly located on the beachfront, close to restaurants, and has first class facilities and fittings. Although we had been a little concerned about possible noise from the nearby main road this proved not to be the case. Very helpful hosts. One slight downside is the way some guests choose to sit outside units and smoke with the smoke entering adjacent units. With such lovely weather it is a pity to have to close doors and windows. One dispute over this issue occurred during our stay. Perhaps a smoking area could be created away from the units?

Nonetheless we had a really enjoyable break.
