Breakwater Motel

Paihia

10/10 Excellent

I am somewhat loathed to write such a positive review of the Breakwater for fear of too many of you booking a room leaving them unavailable for when I want to return, but as people have already said - this is a beautiful place to stay. The owner/managers are an absolute delight, from allowing early check in/out and offering assistance with 'must see' activities in the local area. I had booked into a room with an uninterrupted sea view (room 10) and it was by far the most superior accommodation...

Ash Grove Boutique Motel

Haruru

10/10 Excellent

It was a lovely place and we probably had the best room at the end of the small block (additional windows to the side). The pool area was very good, although we didn’t get the opportunity to try out the pool during our short stay. Although not a problem for us or anyone using their car, it is not really walking distance from Paihia. However on the plus side it is very close to a small convenience and fish and chip shop, as well as Haruru Falls.

We had an enjoyable three night stay. Friendly and helpful hosts. Our unit had a large comfortable bed, a sofa and a table and two chairs. Separate en suite shower and toilet room. Plenty of hot water. Small kitchenette with fridge, two-ring hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, sink, crockery, cutlery, saucepans, frying pan and utensils. Table and two chairs outside on a small deck in a garden area. Parking right outside the unit. The Lodge is really 'hidden away' on the outskirts of Kerikeri and...

Only stayed one night, but would definitely stay again. Booked the luxury queen room and paid a reasonable rate for a solo traveller on a budget. Room opened out onto the skimming pool (great as it was a very hot day) with Haruru falls in the background. Around 3 miles from Waitangi Treaty Ground, this hotel was a similar distance from some great beaches and there would be more than enough to do for several days here (maybe not a whole week tho). Hotel doesn't offer food, but there are more than...

We arrived at little early but was made very welcome by Helen. Given tea & coffee. Our room was pristine, spacious, towels & tea & coffee making facilities with free tea, coffee and milk. The bedding were covered with a thick mattress topper for added comfort. Good pillows. Television. The well equipped kitchen had everything you need. The beautiful grounds included a hot tub & swimming pool, towels provided. The walks through the grounds led us to the river with waterfalls and fairy pools....
