The rooms were clean, spacious, and had a nicely appointed bathroom. The addition of USB ports in the bedside lamps was a convenient touch. The motel also had a well-stocked kitchen for those who prefer to cook. as a budget traveler, I found the facilities and amenities to be excellent.

Felt special, no complaints whatsoever.

Couldn't fault.

cleanest motel ever stayed in! superb location on the hillside overlooking the bay. friendly staff who provided great local tips. loved the quiet garden to relax in. excellent cooking facilities - felt right at home.

Can recommend.

Great views from the room and the location was convenient for exploring nearby areas. The room was clean and well-stocked with necessary amenities in the kitchen. The staff was warm and friendly towards us.

There was too much traffic noise that disrupted our sleep at night. The facilities near the hotel were limited, making it difficult to find good food.

Our stay at the motel was exceptional. The location was perfect for sailing out of the marina or taking the Russell ferry, both of which were just down the hill. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they provided excellent service. The motel also had great facilities that made our stay very enjoyable.

The milk, tea, and toilet paper needed to be requested for replenishment, which was slightly inconvenient.

The upstairs unit had lovely sea views from the balcony. It was neat, clean, and spacious with fully equipped kitchen facilities. The owners were friendly and accommodating, allowing for flexible check-in. Opua is a quaint town just 8 minutes away from Paihia. I enjoyed my stay and would return.

Spending my Xmas holiday at a hotel with a stunning view was the best decision ever. The location of the hotel, close to the inter-island ferries and nearby cafes and restaurants, was very convenient. The comfortable beds and the fact that we could make our own breakfast and dinner made us feel right at home. The owner was friendly and always ready to help us with anything we needed.

Honestly, we had no complaints. However, be aware that there might be a bit of noise from the nearby marina during the day.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was very friendly, and they gave us plenty of local information. The location was perfect, with easy access to the Russell ferry and a stunning view of the water. We also appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms and the availability of parking.

Everything is exactly what we needed and wanted.
