Bounty Motel
8.7 (120 reviews)

Bounty Motel ★★★★

📍 42 Selwyn Road, Paihia

"The order specified three adults and one child, but the front desk only showed three adults. It took a long time to explain. The room cleanliness was so-so, and the heater was broken. The service was good, the front desk staff were very welcoming, and they provided detailed information about nearby attractions."

Paihia Beach Resort & Spa Hotel
8.5 (94 reviews)

Paihia Beach Resort & Spa Hotel ★★★★

📍 130 Marsden Road, Bay Of Islands, Paihia

"Great!"

Dolphin Motel
9.2 (129 reviews)

Dolphin Motel ★★★★

📍 69 Williams Road, Paihia

"The most cost-effective stay in New Zealand! ! ! Two 1.5-meter large beds, very comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped so you can cook your own food. Perfect. The disadvantage is that the sheets are clean, but the bedding is dirty. Their sheets only help to separate you from the bedding, but they don't fit in. If you don’t call house keeping, there will be no house keeping. If you need house keeping during your stay, remember to tell the front desk every morning ~"

"The room is clean. And I stay in female 4 bed dorm w bathroom. Lucky me that I get the whole room w no other people at that day. The staff is friendly and helpful."

Scenic Hotel Bay of Islands
8.5 (115 reviews)

Scenic Hotel Bay of Islands ★★★★

📍 58 Seaview Road, Paihia

"we arrived late around 9pm to find reception still open and was happy to be given a room where we can park our car in front of our room (208) for 3 nights. Scenic Hotel offers close to Paihia's waterfront, about 10-15mins walk. A bit disappointed that the rooms don't offer much scenic views but the hotel grounds are pleasantly decorated with plants and greens which we pleasantly explored. room is spacious and bed comfy, the shower hot and strong for good shower, amenities are full and the big TV screen is a plus. breakfast wise, continental buffet breakfast options limited, options better when buffet breakfast is available. if only continental breakfast is served, guests who have purchased rooms with breakfast can order a breakfast option from the ala-carte menu free of charge, something we weren't aware of initially, staff are always friendly and helpful, we love the plants and views around the grounds, too bad the winter temperature made it too cold for a swim. will recommend this hotel for private and quiet stay."

Centabay Lodge and Backpackers Hotels in Paihia

Centabay Lodge and Backpackers

"We found the hostel facilities here to be perfectly decent but our two night stay was really marred by the bad attitude of the owner. In every interaction we had with him he was rude, unsmiling and weirdly accusatory and hostile, even though we had done nothing wrong and had nothing to complain about in turn. Other staff were friendly and helpful but with so many lovely places to stay in Paihia we'd recommend avoiding the bad atmosphere at Centabay Lodge."

Sanctuary Palms Hotels in Paihia

Sanctuary Palms

"Lovely location, high up so a nice view down to the bay. Steep, steep drive up to the property and parking was a bit tight. Small work surface area in the kitchen part but we coped. Enormous spa bath, more like a swimming pool. Very comfortable bed"

Austria Motel Hotels in Paihia

"Not enough toilet articles provided"

Blue Pacific Apartments Hotels in Paihia

Blue Pacific Apartments

"The layout of the room is very suitable for family travel. There is a master bedroom, a second bedroom, two bathrooms, and one of them has a steam sauna. The kitchen is equipped with all kinds of pots and pans, coffee machines, outdoor barbecue grills, etc., and the equipment is very new. The balcony of the master bedroom and the balcony of the living room face the sea. The environment is beautiful and the location is excellent. There are several highly rated cafes within a 5-minute walk, and the children's playground is also close at hand. It takes 2 minutes to drive to the boat rental terminal in the city center, and there are many options for sea activities. Next time I have time to organize a complete travel guide for your reference 🫶🏻 In short, I am very satisfied with this trip"

Paihia Beach Resort & Spa Hotel ★★★★
"I didn't know what to expect when I booked this establishment. It looked OK though I thought I might find it a bit further from the main Paihia town than I liked, but it turned out that I really enjoyed the walk to and from the town. We've booked ourselves in the cruise to Hole in the Rock the next day and talking to the helpful staff, we booked the spa followed by dinner at The Glass House on that day and we really enjoyed our day. The massage and facial was really relaxing, and the dinner was superb. On top of that, I love the room we had which was just by the pool. We are able to enjoy the hot tub which was really relaxing too. Everything was just fantastic. Overall the hotel was just a joy to stay in and I was glad I booked 3 nights."

Dolphin Motel ★★★★
"The location of the hotel is good, not far from the pier. There are not many guests and parking is very convenient. There are places to eat not too far away. I checked in early in the morning and was given a room directly. The price-performance ratio is good."

Edgewater Palms Apartments ★★★★
"The room's location is excellent, very convenient for shopping and other outings. It was a shame we couldn't find an exhaust fan in the bathroom, but overall it was a very good experience. Oh, and the car entrance/exit is too small; anyone with less skill would definitely have scratched their car. I forgot to take a picture."

"The motel was a bit old, but overall it was okay. It was located near the town center and had a kitchen where you could cook. We stayed on the first floor, but it wasn't noisy. The room was quite large with three beds."

Haka House Bay of Islands (Paihia) ★★
"Excellent location, you have an excellent view of the bay from the kitchen and living room, it couldn't be better. The rooms, especially the 4-bed rooms, are very, very small and the ventilation is poor. You can't sit upright in bed without hitting your head."

"Nice environment. Clean unit. Comfortable. Minor complaint would be that the lighting was a little dim and could have done with coffee plunger in room. Did not eat at hotel restaurant. Good place to stay."
