Quick and easy check in for our three night stay. Our room was downstairs with a sea view but we had a lot of road noise as we were the closest to the road. The room was spacious and had everything we needed although will be better once refurbished which I understand is a work in progress. The bathroom is a little small and the fan which comes on when the light is turned on is very noisy. Having said that we were comfortable and the motel is close to a cafe, local store and petrol station with a supermarket a few minutes drive around the corner. It is walkable to the main shops and restaurants. ##### Wendy Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ernest 6 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent! Excellent. Very convenient. Room was spacious and well-equipped. Staff was very nice. We actually couldn't make it for the first night because of a change in plans so we tried to contact the hotel but couldn't get through. When we arrived the next day, we did not get any funny looks or stares. We just got the same nice, courteous service we would expect. Plus, the location cannot be beat. Right on the beach. You can literally see the ocean from here! And feel that nice sea breeze wafting through the room at all hours of the day. Absolutely phenomenal! ##### Ernest Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hilary 20 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We based ourselves here for 6 nights with our UK whanau, their 1sr trip to the winterless North. The owner, Jimmy, was wonderful, very helpful and accomodating, upgraded us to the front rooms where we had a beautiful view of Te Ti Bay. There is so much to see and do around Paihia. we couldnt do it all, however we gave it a good go. Nearby are restaurants, Petrol station, cafe within 2 minutes walking and Woolworths supermarket 10 minutes - Waitangi Meeting Grounds, 20 minutes, Ferry to Russell or boat to the Hole in the Rock 10 minutes, plus a kids playgroung across the road - the Bay Sands Seafront Studios are a perfect launching pad for exploring Paihia and surrounds. ##### Hilary Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### peter 29 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities great place to stay, our favourite in Paihia ##### peter Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joan 19 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location short walk to everything ##### Joan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Moana 28 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely accommodation across the road from the beach and reasonably priced ##### Moana Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marianne 3 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked that this place was quiet, safe and close from the sea. ##### Marianne ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 27 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A wonderful stay in the studio unit with a Seaview!
