missingWrote a review on Dec 13friendly staffcomfortable roomsavailable parkingslippery bathroom floor
Had a fantastic time with friends! We explored the Bay of Islands on a dolphin watching cruise, and also hiked to Russell for stunning views. The new rooms were comfy, and the staff was super friendly. We appreciated the early check-in and that parking was available, which is a rarity in this area.
The only downside was some temperature issues with the shower. it was tough to get the right setting, and water spilled over making the floor slippery.

Paihia vibes and good times 🌊
Lekker comfy room with a balcony for a sundowner and chillin'. Location is sharp-sharp, close to shops and the wharf—easy stroll. Good WiFi made it easy to binge some shows on Netflix!

The staff were very lovely and helpful.
Unfortunately, the room we stayed in was quite dated and showed significant signs of wear and tear. For example, the bathroom had temperature fluctuations in the shower that were not only concerning but also made each showering experience quite uncomfortable. the towels provided were frayed and much smaller than expected, leaving us feeling quite unsatisfied with the amenities during our stay.

great location but can improve amenities
The hotel had a fantastic location within easy walking distance to local attractions, making it convenient for our adventures. The modern design of the room was refreshing, with high-quality furnishings that added a luxurious touch to our stay. the staff were incredibly helpful and attentive, which further elevated our experience. The garden view from our room was an added bonus, allowing us to enjoy the serene landscape during our downtime.
Although the room was quite nice, some amenities felt lacking.

Comfortable Stay in a Beautiful Location
We enjoyed our stay in the spacious apartment, with beautiful decor and a lovely diffuser scent. The location made it easy to stroll to nearby shops and the beach. The management was responsive, addressing our concerns promptly. Future guests should check room availability and call ahead if needed.

Comfortable accommodation with adequate kitchen facilities, perfect for a small group. The air conditioning functioned well, ensuring a pleasant indoor climate. the kitchen space felt a bit cramped when cooking. It was also disappointing that there was no sofa in the room as shown in some photos online. Cleanliness could be improved, as there were some areas that needed attention.

The room was a spacious and comfortable one-bedroom apartment, with ample kitchen facilities including a microwave and stove elements, perfect for a family. Its location made it an easy flat walk to the shops, just minutes away from the beachfront where one could enjoy dolphin encounters.
Dated furniture.
