"This was a clean, well maintained room in a conveniently located motel. Easy to find, parking available and all the attractions within walking distance. Owner was really helpful with booking local attractions and recommendations of good places to eat."

"The room was clean, we were upgraded to a superior room, as we were staying 5 nights and they are the rooms that have a microwave. There was no tea towel, no forks, no washing up detergent or anything like that, very basic.
The pool wasn't in operation, it was empty, for all the tine we were there, no mention of that when we checked it.
It's just a basic motel, not a resort.
Plus the large rubbish skip bin is in the driveway on the way to the units, it smelt putrid as you walked passed...

"Haka House has the best location. Incredible views from the common area. Check-in was easy with clear instructions for arriving after hours. Room was clean and bed was comfortable.
Only downside was ensuite has a bit of a sewery smell. With door shut it doesn't impact the bedroom."

The staff were very obliging, moving us to a groundfloor room when they realised I had a dodgy knee. Pauline and the staff in the restaurant and bar were knowledgable about tourist things to do and when my husband brought fish back from a fishing trip, the Chef cooked it to perfection. Excellent Wifi connectionenabled me to stay in touch with the family back in Australia. I would stay there again if I am fortunate enough to return to Paihia. I loved the extra touch of a gift bag encouraging us...

My grandchildren and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. If my grandchildren could they would have lived in the pool. The owners were extremely helpful and very friendly which enhanced our stay!
Thank you for making our stay memorable! My grandchildren raved about staying at Kauri Park 😊
We’ll definitely stay again!

Very unique camp site where you can see native birds wandering around, including kiwis, wekas and pūkekos. Not to say a parrot like beautiful bird and characteristic resident chickens. To a nature lover, this would be paradise. We enjoyed our stay thanks to very friendly host Kelly.
