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.

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...

We loved our stay at the anchorage! The facilities were great and staff very friendly. With a beach view and only 5 minutes walk into town it was the perfect location!

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.

Motel was fantastic, friendly owner, room was tidy and clean, kitchen had mostly everything, would suggest a mixing bowl. Queen bed was firm (I liked it), single beds were slightly softer (kids liked that), swimming pool was great - could have been warmer though on the colder days but was just perfect on the hot days, I would describe it as 'tepid' rather then a warm pool. Spa pool was lovely and warm. The outdoor area near the pool was fantastic for our family to sit around and chat while...

My grandchildren and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. If my grandchildren could they would have lived in the pool. The owners were extremely helpful and very friendly which enhanced our stay!
Thank you for making our stay memorable! My grandchildren raved about staying at Kauri Park 😊
We’ll definitely stay again!

I was pleasantly surprised to find the photos online accurately reflected the actual state of this apartment. We had the two bedroom with a balcony offering a gorgeous view of the Bay. Cosily warm with a really well provisioned kitchen and comfy beds. Definitely recommended.
