Very convenient and quiet motel at Paihia. We had an issue with a sliding door which did not lock but it was quickly sorted out with a change of unit, which was appreciated. The couple who ran the motel were lovely, obliging and very helpful. Thank you for an enjoyable 2x night stay. Rewa Morgan and family from Tauranga and UK.
