We really enjoyed our stay here. Very comfortable and roomy, great location in Paihia. We had a lovely outlook over the bay and grass outside our living room so it was lovely.

Staff were friendly and accommodated my unusual check-in and check-out times. The room was tidy and well-appointed. The kitchen was sufficient to cook a quick meal. Location was fantastic. I have stayed here before and I will stay here again.
