Paihia Beach Resort & Spa Hotel

Paihia Beach Resort & Spa Hotel

Paihia|0.42km from city centre
Unfortunately overpriced for the standard of accommodation. Do not be fooled by the website photos. Even my photos make the accommodation look good yet when you are in the room it is clear this place needs work These photos are either way out of date and or hide the true state of the accommodation. This hotel is trading off its awards from yesteryear and is in need a refurbishment We stayed in the Superior Suite on Level 3 I have no problem with three star accommodation. I do have a problem with being over charged for poor quality accommodation at 4/ 5 star rates. On the positive: The hotel refunded $100 when I bought issues below to their attention Friendly reception and cleaning staff. Excellent sea views On the negative: Tired looking rooms Water damaged timber in the kitchen Sofa seating stained and worn/stained dining room seating A shower that floods the bathroom floor due to shower head setup A cassette player in the room. That’s right this room has a cassette player. This shows how old the setup is. No battery in remote. Floor tiles looking dated and old Dated pine furniture Dated amenities in bathroom Exposed wires from TV in bedroom running down the wall instead of being hidden behind the wall No robes in room upon arrival Adjoining doors to next door hotel room unlocked with no key to lock it. Great if you want to your electronics to go missing Rubbish bin in bathroom old and not working correctly Reception closed by either 9.30 pm or 10.00pm and no one to answer phone after these hours (or no one picked up when we tried) No room service after reception closes (you have to prebook after hours room service – who prebooks their after-hours service?) Blunt restaurant staff Apart from the pool area an extremely basic common area setup Exterior of hotel needs a paint job and some well overdue maintenance.

Ala Moana Motel
4.4/527 Reviews

Ala Moana Motel

Paihia|0.33km from city centre
My husband and I stayed at Ala Moana for a month (mid-February to mid-March) and were very happy with this accommodation. John is a marvelous, friendly, helpful host, and he and staff member William keep the units clean, fresh, and comfortable. The daily service was more than we needed, but they always checked and offered. John accommodated our requests and went out of his way to be sure we had everything we needed. He even ordered a couple of beach chairs so we could sit in the shade at the beach! (YES! This beach has shade, some benches, and calm, peaceful, protected waters. Whether first thing in the morning or later in the day, it makes for a delightful refreshing swim!) The location directly across from the beach and at most a 5-minute walk to shops, the wharf, and restaurants, was perfect! Some have mentioned the bar next door. Even though it looks like a fun, local place, we knew there was live music some nights, and we wondered if noise would be a problem. At least from our location in #3, noise was NEVER an issue. It was perfectly quiet. We had a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette (no oven or freezer) (unit #3). The bed is very comfortable, the area is spacious, the basics for cooking and dining are provided. (I should note that we didn’t really cook at all, but we brought things in for breakfasts, lunches, and snacks and ate there frequently.) There was a comfy sitting area for reading, doing projects, playing games, enjoying wine and cheese, or watching TV. The decor was simple and tasteful. For us, comfort trumps decor, so we weren’t looking for high-end interior design. Furnishings included a kitchen table with chairs, a coffee table in the sitting room, sofa, day bed, small patio table and chairs on the little deck, plus a fantastic view balcony patio overlooking the bay for shared use (which makes up for the fact that the unit’s deck faces the parking spots). Other shared amenities include washers, dryers, clothesline, ice. Some things that make me especially happy: lots of storage (closets, drawers) to unpack everything, ample towel racks and hooks for wet linens, beach towels, bathing suits, shelves in the bathroom to organize toiletries, plenty of outlets for charging phones, laptop, etc. These are little touches that so many places lack and that greatly enhanced the convenience and enjoyment of our stay. While most guests were there for one night to a few nights, we would definitely recommend it for a short or longer stay and hope to return for 1-2 months again!

Bay of Islands Holiday Apartments
4/519 Reviews
We stayed in the Campervan Park over a year ago and I've been meaning to write a review since then. We had a wonderful and surprising experience because of the weather. We were in our rooftent during the off season, so it was very quiet. We were very happy, enjoying the peace and quiet, the bbq / kitchen / communal shelter area, when the weather changed dramatically and the heavens opened. While we were happy to tough it out in our rooftent, Jan came to the rescue and insisted (in the nicest possible way) that we move into the apartments, as the weather forecast was the worst she had ever seen. Needless to say, we had a very luxurious night in a beautiful apartment. While we were pleased to see the next morning that our tent had withstood the torrential rain, we certainly enjoyed the upmarket accommodation. Thank you Jan for the memorable stay. We look forward to staying again, in better weather.

Kingsgate Hotel Autolodge Paihia
3.9/594 Reviews
The location is particularly good, two minutes walk from the marina. Hotel parking is free. The location is right by the sea with some sea view rooms. The breakfast restaurant can see the sea and the view is very good. A lot of flowers were planted in front of the hotel and it was very beautiful. The shuttle bus to Ninety Mile Beach can pick up at the hotel. All in all very good.
Breakwater Motel
4.5/556 Reviews
A classy, comfortable, immaculately clean, well equipped yet affordable waterfront accommodation in the most perfect location in Paihia. Breakwater is a stones throw from the main centre but far enough out to be surrounded by sea sounds and birds in the forest right next door. This was our second stay at Breakwater Motel in Paihia and just as it were the first time around, we had a wonderful and relaxing time. Lyn and Ken, the owners and hosts were warm and accommodating to all our needs without being intrusive. They are truly great. The one thing I appreciated so much was their hard work at doing everything properly, from the beautiful gardens to the filter coffee provided, sky TV and well equipped kitchen. It made self catering so easy. The sheets were perfectly clean and of great quality, the showers and bathroom facilities were beautiful and big and there was a TV in the lounge and bedroom. We watched the sunrise over the ocean, parasailers, dogs being walked, swimmers swimming off to the islands just off the coast and birds in the beautiful gardens below all from the comfort and privacy of our balcony over a warm cup of coffee. Honestly, I'd go back over and over and can't wait to take family to Paihia and stay there knowing all our needs will be so well met.
Allegra House
4.9/560 Reviews
This is an absolutely fabulous place to stay. Quiet, gorgeous views, sunrise, beautiful rooms with mini kitchen area with kettle and toaster, fab bathroom, communal lounge with a piano. Heinz and Brita have the gift of hospitality and make you feel like one of the family without being intrusive. So we're coming back again! Highly recommended. They're also brilliant at recommending things to do in the area.
Dolphin Motel
4.1/5108 Reviews
We booked for 3 nights and were disturbed to find that there was no one in reception to greet us and give us the key. Just a note on the door to say where our unit was. It was open and the key on the bench. We noted that the couple in the unit next to us were moved to a new unit , not sure why. The cleanliness of this unit in the bathroom was not good. Mould on the ceiling and behind the toilet. This area had not been cleaned for a while as there was other items that should have been cleaned in a daily routine. There were mould spots in the shower as well. My wife noted that there were no cereal plates. Also a light out in the bathroom. In the morning I cooked my eggs in the frypan but then found out there was no egg slice to get them out of the pan. Then when I went to sit down at the breakfast bar the stools were broken, one at a very low level and one stuck too high. We approached the lady in the reception then and she delivered 2 cereal plates for us. No egg slice was available and no one fixed the bathroom light while we were there. She bought another bar stool for us but the rust on the bottom showed the extent that the management has allowed this place to deteriorate too. Not the standard I expect for $150 per night. Also there was an All Blacks test on and the units do not have SKY TV.
