Nice place to stay. Smallish rooms with limited access to kitchen facilities. There were a number of dining options within walking distance which makes up for that.

Kevin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It's situated right off the main road and the beach, so I didn't need my car until I was ready to leave town. Very quiet, the 3 staff members I talked with were friendly and helpful, and the room was a bit more spacious than I expected. If I'm ever back in Paihia I'll stay here again.
