Great Hosts, very welcoming. Nice neat & clean property opposite the Beach with only 200m to all Dining, tours & shopping. Great location and would highly recommend 😊
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.
Was very impressed with this motel. Staff were excellent. Room made up every day. Great location. Very clean and tidy. Was not expecting such a great motel. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Loved the kitchenette and big bathroom.
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.
We had an awesome stay at the breakwater motel, lovely water front view, closed by shops the restaurants for convenience, friendly staff and super nice and clean facilities; can’t ask for more, highly recommended!
There are only motels here so we drove past this one on the way to see where the ferry’s leave. Was right on the main road but had full views of the bay. We got ground floor Room 1 and was great. Sat outside and watched the world go by along with the cars which was the only issue. Bed a bit small and soft for our liking but bathroom, kitchen and seating area all good sizes. You do pay for the view!
