OK MOTEL.

We stayed over the easter weekend. The room was reasonable but nothing special and we considered it overpriced for the standard of accommodation. Paihia is a pleasant seaside town with many tours and attractions,the best value is the ferry to Russell which is a lovely little town.

Friendly and helpful owner; comfortable stay

These are lovely self-contained cabins, run by the super hospitable and helpful Ali! They are VERY clean, which we appreciated, and although we didn't really use it, the kitchen was well stocked. I'd definitely stay again.

휴일 이후에 가서 사람도 적어서 그런지 방도 업그레이드 해주시고 친절하고 너무 좋았어요! 가든 특성상 나무,식물들이 많아 개미들이 좀 있었지만 그래도 다른부분이 다 만족이여서 좋았어요! 다음에 또 가려고 합니다!
