Independent in Waimate North from NZ$98

"Great location and really clean. Bathroom spacious and lots of fast hot water. However, customer service needs to be better. Not once was I greeted with a “good morning” or “how is your stay going” or “is there anything that I can do to help”. Simple to do, but the two ladies in reception seemed oblivious. Perhaps they are understaffed or underpaid or not trained properly which was a shame as otherwise I would have given this hotel a higher rating."

"5 minute walk off the main road to the water, shops and restaurants. So quiet and away from the activity. Use of laundry on site. "

"You have everything you need but it’s old. "

"Perfect place to stay in Paihia. Across from beach, flat easy walk to dining, wharf and shops. Staff were friendly and helpful. We liked it so much we booked more nights on our return trip south. Comfortable apartments both stays, kitchen and laundry facilities with comfortable lounges and balcony. "

"The view from my room was fantastic. Comfortable bed, well-stocked suite. Great for solo traveller."

"Great spot that’s close to the town centre. "

"Overall, this was a great place to stay. Location is terrific. Bed was comfortable. Loved having outdoor space (shared but still really nice to have). Having a kitchenette. Was great. Also big shoutout to the manager for being so kind as to allow a late checkout. Only downfalls: expensive laundry and the need to clean things like the ceiling fans and the skylight. But overall, I would recommend "

"Nice motel close to the Paihia wharf and shopping/eating locations in the town. We had a suite with a nice view of the bay. "
