We based ourselves here for 6 nights with our UK whanau, their 1sr trip to the winterless North. The owner, Jimmy, was wonderful, very helpful and accomodating, upgraded us to the front rooms where we had a beautiful view of Te Ti Bay. There is so much to see and do around Paihia. we couldnt do it all, however we gave it a good go. Nearby are restaurants, Petrol station, cafe within 2 minutes walking and Woolworths supermarket 10 minutes - Waitangi Meeting Grounds, 20 minutes, Ferry to Russell or boat to the Hole in the Rock 10 minutes, plus a kids playgroung across the road - the Bay Sands Seafront Studios are a perfect launching pad for exploring Paihia and surrounds.

Really nice motel in a great location in Paihia. Across the road from a lovely beach and a short walk to everything in town. I had a fairly basic double room, but everything clean and tidy. Very comfortable and I will certainly stay again.
