Nice people, not far from the beach. The rooms are pretty basic.
Kitchen was good as well as a comfortable and spacious bed. The balcony was very nice with good views of the bay. The staff were very friendly and courteous.
Comfortable bed in nice clean room. Good view from our balcony.very friendly reception staff, thank you Sarah!
Highly recommend as an affordable, good place to stay.
Very convenient and quiet motel at Paihia. We had an issue with a sliding door which did not lock but it was quickly sorted out with a change of unit, which was appreciated. The couple who ran the motel were lovely, obliging and very helpful. Thank you for an enjoyable 2x night stay. Rewa Morgan and family from Tauranga and UK.
