Our stay at the motel was fantastic! It’s situated in a peaceful area away from the hustle and bustle, making it an ideal retreat. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean, topped off with friendly owners who genuinely care about their guests. The warm pool and well-kept gardens added to the charm. However, being a bit out of town meant we had limited dining options nearby, which could be an inconvenience for some travelers.

The owners were incredibly welcoming and created such a friendly atmosphere. The pool and gardens were lovely, making relaxation easy.

This motel is a hidden gem, located in a peaceful country setting a bit outside of Paihia, making it a perfect base for exploring the Bay of Islands. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-equipped, and the welcoming pool was a highlight after a day of activities. I was particularly impressed by the owners' commitment to eco-friendly practices. On the downside, the nearest dining option was closed during our visit, which made meals less convenient.

The owners were the warmest hosts, and the well-maintained pool was a highlight after long days of adventure. It was a bit out of town, which added to the peace and quiet, but be mindful that walking to food options could be limited.

I had a fantastic stay at the motel! The owners were absolutely wonderful and made us feel right at home. The clean and spacious rooms provided the perfect comfort after our daily adventures in the Bay of Islands, and the lovely pool area was a delightful bonus. It was such a peaceful location away from the hustle and bustle, which I really appreciated. However, the dining options were quite limited nearby, especially during New Year's, so keep that in mind. Overall, it felt like great value for money!
