The room was very clean and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfy and the motel was right opposite the beach. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We just found that the upstairs room above us was noisy but everything else was great and had lovely weather too.

What a great location in Paihia! At the very beginning of the strip, so you’re away from the busier hub up. Close enough for a quick seven minute walk to the pier and the center, passing great cafés and beautiful scenery along the way. Directly across the beach with beach bbq’s and picnic tables. Swimming in the ocean was fabulous and if you don’t like that, the pool is sparkling, clean and heated plus hot tub! Accompanied with daily fresh towels and service touchup for the room. Includes coffee, sugar, and everything you need to wake up. We would most definitely stay here again. The owners were always on site, attentive, and cheery every time we saw them, making sure our stay was awesome. Thank you so much, Anchorage!
