Very friendly & welcoming owners. Upgrades of the rooms are planned but already very pleasant & clean. The pool is lovely and includes the views! A hidden gem. ##### Nicky Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Alexandra 30 Jul 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The manager was amazing and he tried being very accomodating which we really appreciate. Unfortunately, for the money payed at this time ($137.50) the place itself was highly disappointing. The room was extremely smelly (musty etc), the place was very outdated, the bed was not comfortable, there was mould on the walls of toilet, there was an issue with the water pressure in the shower and the night light on all night outside the room, which is understandable for safety but then there needs to be a black out curtain or something to block the light out. The view in the morning however was fantastic. ##### Alexandra Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 15 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice place with beautiful views and great owners.

Some rooms (1-7) are on a level with the pool and barbecue area - first photo. The upper floor rooms have views over the river and 8-10 have views of the falls from their private balconies. ##### Paul Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ROBERT 6 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bel endroit Superbe accueil chaleureux par le responsable du motel et à l’ecoute pour nous proposer des activités.

Lovely view over the river, and from the pool, down to the falls. Friendly staff. TV doesn't get all the channels you expect, and the shower is warm. Close location to Paihia, Waitangi and the beach front. ##### Matt ### 8/10 Good #### Diane, Canada 12 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Great location with view of Haruru Fals While somewhat disappointed upon seeing our room, this was a good choice for our three days from Auckland to Cape Reinga, on a good highway just outside Paihua, where decent restaurants were available. Although quite run-down in general, everything was very clean, relaxing swim before dinner in the nice pool where we chatted with several couples. ##### Diane ### 6/10 Okay #### Sam, Exeter SA 22 Jul 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good base for getting around. Our host was very accomodating telling us what we could see and do as tourists. The rooms though could do with an upgrade so the place could match the amazing view. We had a downstairs room that was quiet drafty. I'm sure it would be a great place to stay in summer. ##### Sam ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 28 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great views, awesome staff to deal with, and nice rooms ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Mar 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Great views from the Pool Facilities were clean and tidy and the hosts were lovely. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marc, Whitehaven 1 Mar 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent value Only stayed one night, but would definitely stay again. Booked the luxury queen room and paid a reasonable rate for a solo traveller on a budget. Room opened out onto the skimming pool (great as it was a very hot day) with Haruru falls in the background. Around 3 miles from Waitangi Treaty Ground, this hotel was a similar distance from some great beaches and there would be more than enough to do for several days here (maybe not a whole week tho). Hotel doesn't offer food, but there are more than enough restraunts and a supermarket nearby to cope. ##### Marc ### 6/10 Okay #### Neil, Adelaide 13 Feb 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Comfortable and Convenient A good spot to launch your tour of the Bay of Islands and Northlands. ##### Neil ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hanna, Hamilton, New Zealand 27 Jun 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very nice motel It was so nice!!

Peter was a friendly host and gave a great rundown of things to see and do in the area as well as what was happening that weekend, as this was a birthday get away for the wife- it was awesome he recommended a great restaurant that suited our budget, the next morning he was keen to hear how we were going with our trip and was kind enough to take photos of us for us. Very friendly. Peter and his wife even walked us out at the end of our stay and invited us back next time we came up. Fantastic service :) ##### Matt ### 8/10 Good #### Jozsef, New Zealand - Auckland 26 Dec 2013 Liked: Staff & service Facilities: Modest; Value: Affordable; Service: Good, Friendly; Cleanliness: Tidy; ##### Jozsef ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 7 Jun 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 20 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 21 Apr 2016 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 5 Feb 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Falcons Nest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromwell-Hotels-Falcons-Nest.h31053004.Hotel-Information) > > [Millbrook Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Millbrook-Resort.h584862.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sands Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Omapere-Hotels-The-Heads-Hokianga.h1217506.Hotel-Information) > > [Kelly Rd Cambridge Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Kelly-Rd-Cambridge-Lodge.h17679551.Hotel-Information) > > [Scenic Hotel Punakaiki](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greymouth-Hotels-Punakaiki-Resort.h982476.Hotel-Information) > > [Ramada Resort By Wyndham Rotorua Marama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ramada-Resort-By-Wyndham-Rotorua-Marama.h3512184.Hotel-Information) > > [The Duke of Marlborough Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Russell-Hotels-The-Duke-Of-Marlborough-Hotel.h1038082.Hotel-Information) > > [Copthorne Hotel Greymouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greymouth-Hotels-Kingsgate-Hotel-Greymouth.h12933.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > > [Hahei Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hahei-Hotels-Hahei-Holiday-Resort.h9869496.Hotel-Information) > > [The Amberley Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amberley-Hotels-The-Amberley-Hotel.h83782595.Hotel-Information) > > [Porters Boutique Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Havelock-North-Hotels-Porters-Boutique-Hotel.h15965962.Hotel-Information) > > [Treetops Lodge & Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Treetops-Lodge-Estate.h912953.Hotel-Information) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Queenstown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Queenstown.h4412246.Hotel-Information) > > [Cardrona Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Cardrona-Hotel.h9629768.Hotel-Information) > > [Kinloch Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Kinloch-Wilderness-Retreat.h3848386.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Ridge Studios and Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Te-Anau-Hotels-Blue-Ridge-Boutique-Bed-Breakfast.h9625233.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayside Holiday Units](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitianga-Hotels-Bayside-Holiday-Units.h49101011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hidden Lake Hotel and Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamilton-Hotels-Hidden-Lake-Hotel-And-Apartments.h29081973.Hotel-Information) > > [Distinction Heritage Gateway Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Omarama-Hotels-Heritage-Gateway-Hotel.h519242.Hotel-Information) > > [Beachfront Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitianga-Hotels-Beachfront-Resort.h6960059.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Parkview Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/National-Park-Village-Hotels-Parkview-Apartments.h32421560.Hotel-Information) > > [Waitomo Caves Guest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Waitomo-Caves-Hotels-Waitomo-Caves-Guest-Lodge.h16121337.Hotel-Information) > > [Te Anau Lakeview Holiday Park & Motels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Te-Anau-Hotels-Te-Anau-Lakeview-Kiwi-Holiday-Park-Motels.h4192650.Hotel-Information) > > [The Barn Cabins & Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marahau-Hotels-The-Barn-Cabins-Camping.h15886153.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ---
