GREAT LOCATION AND AMAZING STAFF. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Loved the property manager (owner on vacation). She provided guidance on everything we asked about from laundry to local locations to driving to the airport. Fabulous location!!! Able to walk to everything in the little town. The furnishings are a bit dated but everything worked and even our teenage girls liked the property.

Thanks to John, the owner of the hotel, for letting us park the car, after we had checked out, while we took a several hour long boat trip. The hotel is excellent location wise, so convenient to Paihia Wharf. The room was quite large, clean and had all the amenities that we hoped for - coffee, milk, etc.
