Nice place to stay, typical older motel, but very nice. Clean, bed was okay for 1 night. Friendly and close to everything. Recommend you stay.
GREAT LOCATION AND AMAZING STAFF. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Loved the property manager (owner on vacation). She provided guidance on everything we asked about from laundry to local locations to driving to the airport. Fabulous location!!! Able to walk to everything in the little town.
The furnishings are a bit dated but everything worked and even our teenage girls liked the property.
Good welcome and check in. Comfortable room near the beach, everything you need. John was very helpful with ideas of where to go and what to do. Overall a good stay.

Thanks to John, the owner of the hotel, for letting us park the car, after we had checked out, while we took a several hour long boat trip.
The hotel is excellent location wise, so convenient to Paihia Wharf. The room was quite large, clean and had all the amenities that we hoped for - coffee, milk, etc.
Fabulous experience from check in to check out. Wendy was wonderful. Friendly and helpful! Gave us really good suggestions for food and hiking. Room was clean and comfortable. Great location!
Excellent location, a short walk from the wharf and shops. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Fantastic outlook from the unit.
Only possible issue was a couple of short internet outages.
