Lorraine and Peter went out of their way to make our stay unbelievable. Always concerned for our comfort and well-being. They have an extraordinary knowledge of the local area and were always there to assist us in planning daily events. The room was outstanding and the view spectacular.

Scenic Hotel Bay of Islands
Scenic Hotel Bay of IslandsPaihia
10/10 Excellent
The staff were very obliging, moving us to a groundfloor room when they realised I had a dodgy knee. Pauline and the staff in the restaurant and bar were knowledgable about tourist things to do and when my husband brought fish back from a fishing trip, the Chef cooked it to perfection. Excellent Wifi connectionenabled me to stay in touch with the family back in Australia. I would stay there again if I am fortunate enough to return to Paihia. I loved the extra touch of a gift bag encouraging us...

Loved the Motel and our room. The incredible panoramic view from both rooms was wonderful. Great little self contained kitchenette which we loved. Sky Satelite TV a big bonus. Easy & safe car parking. Across the road from the Ferry wharfs and main shops area very close.
