Great property for the price. Fantastic position to get to the quay and shops. Really quiet. Stayed 2 nights. Great to have 2 rooms, kitchen area and lounge. Decor is dated but was expected based on price point. Could not get the oven to work but got by without it.

Situated in a quieter part of Paihia town centre was really lovely. Was easy to walk into town and you have everything around you. Only issue my partner and I experienced was the cleanliness and smell in our room. We had to air it out as it smelt like no one had been in it for weeks. We had to spray the room with our own fragrances to help. Room did have everything from cutlery, fans, iron ironing board and hairdryer. Tv had access to YouTube and Netflix. Shower and toilet were clean. Everything is a bit outdated but we weren’t bothered by that. Happy but I wouldn’t have high expectations when staying here.

The location is probably the best thing about this motel - just off the bay, so it's affordable, but close enough to walk to everything. King bed was comfy.

Great location for visiting Waitangi Treaty Grounds and Russell via the ferry (as well as Paihia). Staff were friendly and helpful. The only minor negative was the water pressure in the shower was a little on the weaker side.

I liked the situation. Did dislike the fact that there were 8 unsafe stairs that had to be climbed to the unit. Each time you vacated. Also the shower had a large step to get into which caused me to fall getting out of it. I am 80 hrs old.

The unit you booked was upstairs.Might have good idea to mention in your requests and could have ensure a downstairs unit as a free upgrade.Incidentally I am 79 and can understand.Paul the Manager.

Clean and conveniently located in Paihia. Stay would have been better if there was flexible late check in option, so I didn't have to rush to the motel from Auckland to meet the 8PM cut off time for check in.
