My stay was quite pleasant overall, with beautiful scenery right by the river, where I enjoyed watching a family of black swans. The staff were genuinely nice, making the experience more enjoyable. On the downside, my room was quite basic and I was a bit disturbed by noise from the nearby rubbish container early in the morning. Still, I appreciated the value for money offered here.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were modern, clean, and had a lovely atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The location is peaceful and centrally located, making it easy to explore the surrounding attractions. My kids loved the amenities, especially the pool table and kitchen facilities. However, it was a bummer that I had to leave early due to an emergency, so I didn't experience everything the hotel had to offer.

Staying at this hotel was a pleasant experience with a beautiful setting right next to a river, providing a lovely backdrop. The rooms were clean and tidy, though they could have been presented a bit better with some attention to detail. The staff was very nice, and the location offered a fantastic balance of peace and quiet, perfect for stargazing while still being close enough to explore nearby attractions. However, I did notice that some areas could use a little more upkeep.

The rooms were clean and tidy, surrounded by a lovely park-like setting. However, they could use better presentation and maintenance, as I noticed some leaves and an ashtray that hadn’t been cleaned.

The hotel offers a charming environment with a beautiful view of the river, but further amenities could enhance the overall experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and offered great value for the price, but they were uncomfortably stuffy during the hotter days. The location was appealing, especially being next to a river with beautiful views, yet it was a bit far from the main town. Overall, this hotel has some potential with its lovely amenities and friendly atmosphere, but be prepared for the heat if you choose to stay here.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was pretty basic and located near a rubbish container, so I was disturbed by noise from the rubbish truck early in the morning. On a positive note, the staff was understanding about my early exit due to an emergency and promised to hold some credit for me to come back. The hotel is located in a quiet area near a river, which I really appreciated.

The room felt too basic for my taste and it was a bit noisy in the mornings because of the rubbish container nearby. It had only one power point, which was inconvenient. However, I found a dustpan and brush that helped keep the sand and debris from accumulating.

The staff was accommodating and promised to leave some credit for my future stay. I can’t say much about other services since I left early.

The hotel was situated in a quiet area just outside of Paihia, right next to a river. While it’s only a short drive from Paihia, being close to the motorway didn't feel ideal at times.
