OK MOTEL.

We stayed over the easter weekend. The room was reasonable but nothing special and we considered it overpriced for the standard of accommodation. Paihia is a pleasant seaside town with many tours and attractions,the best value is the ferry to Russell which is a lovely little town.

These are lovely self-contained cabins, run by the super hospitable and helpful Ali! They are VERY clean, which we appreciated, and although we didn't really use it, the kitchen was well stocked. I'd definitely stay again.

Nice little cabin perched on the hill with a view of both the hills and (a bit of) the sea conveniently located for the bars and restaurants of Pahia. Our welcome on arrival was very friendly. There was a good amount of cooking implements which came in handy but the cabin could have benefited from some complementary shower gel/body wash. The shower head was also a bit small for me at 6'1"! Altogether however we really enjoyed this property.
