Enjoyable & comfortable stay
We had a very good 4 night stay. We had a self contained room facing the beach which was great.
It is located about 600m from the main area of town but handy to a Woolworths.
Plenty of free on-site parking is available and the staff were friendly and helpful.
The rooms and facilities are a bit dated now but overall very comfortable.

Just outside the main strip of Paihia which was perfect for a quieter stay - but still right across the road from a beautiful beach. Very accommodating and helpful staff at reception. Small supérette two doors down. Might suggest walking to town during busy times or if a cruise ship is in.

Friendly and helpful staff. Good location facing the beach, easily walkable to Paihia town and wharf, also Whitangi Treaty Grounds. On the downside, some noise from the petrol station adjacent to the property. The room was well-equipped, and daily room servicing was excellent. However, the room fixtures and fittings e.g. wooden tables, chairs, kitchen units, bathroom sink, shower unit are showing their age, scuffed and looking well-worn. As it stands, it offers fair value for money, but it would benefit from a makeover.

I found the unit clean on the bottom level, however outside was a little overgrown and forgotten about, just a quick tidy of garden and wipe down of the table would encourage one to enjoy a read or relax for each unit. The garage workshop was a touch noisy at times opposite our rooms 104 & 105 when my sick uncle wanted to rest, but we went out the following day to counteract that.
