Really good value for money”
We stayed here over the weekend and had a really nice experience. The staff was extremely helpful, rooms were impeccable and the views were stunning. They also had a really good pool and playground in the compound ( would recommend kayaking, $15 for an hour to go up close and under Haruru falls is a wholesome experience). The only suggestion I have for the place would be to have a better lit outdoor. Great services like the pool and the playground should be well lit in the dark so people can use them and make the most of the facilities provided during their stay. We look forward to returning to this place in the future and are glad we weren’t discouraged by the pervious bad reviews.

Somewhat disappointing.”
My wife and I had stayed here some years ago while on a campervan trip, and thought it would be a nice place to bring our overseas guests, so booked two Standard King Rooms. We were rather disappointed: the receptionist barely spoke English, and although he already knew who we were (we appeared to be the only guests), we were given two twin rooms on the bottom floor near Reception instead of the two upper floor Standard King Rooms, with a view, that I'd booked. Fortunately he was in contact with a woman who did speak English and who upgraded us to lower floor King rooms at the other end of the complex. Each room comes with a copy of the originator of the (Korean, religious) Earth Citizen concept. This appears to now be the focus of this motel. Our rooms were adequate, but did not have standard sets of kitchen equipment. Our room did not have powerpoints accessible from the bedside credenzas. Of greater concern was the melted looking light switch covers! We would not stay here again.

One of the two chairs in the room was broken and unstable to use. The electric kettle had such a short cable that it could only be plugged in and used by sitting it on a 2litre plastic container, not a safe practice. And the manager at the desk does not understand the English language, neither mine nor the guest's in front of me. Advertised as a double - bed room our room had two singles and the manager seemed to say that that was all they had.

Poor room management”
I stayed 2 night. They provided wrong room for us in first night. When I found this problem, it was after 2000hrs. There is no staff in reception and no help for us. We need to make complain via agoda. They finially gave us response and changed room for us on 2nd night. However, they rejected our compensation request for the price different on 1st night room. Moreover, they explained that it was because there was wavived us the service fee of room changing. Their explaination is very unreasonable and very bad. Moreover, room cleanliness is very poor on my 1st night. Much ant near the kitchen, deadbody of insect under the bed and cleaner tool stored at our room on 1st night.

Terrible hotel, unless you like caravan parks”
Don't expect any luxury here, very basic hotel accommodation. I would rank this hotel a 3 star maximum. We booked two rooms for six nights and the hotel could not even provide us with adjacent rooms, especially considering most people only stay for 1-2 nights. I paid for one weeks worth of Internet and was lucky enough to get about one hour of internet due to the internet being down, I made many complaints that the Internet was down but no-one made any effort to rectify this. Location was also very poor, the hotel is located outside of where all the action is, and there was no restaurants or other activities near the hotel, which meant we had to drive into Paihia every night for dinner. Rooms were not cleaned every day, they only cleaned if it looked like it needed cleaning, but this did not include vacuuming, they only made up the beds. We constantly ran out of toilet paper and in the end had to purchase toilet paper ourselves. Very disappointed....

Facilities are a little outdated. Some basic things needing repair e.g. shower tap, pool. Typical equipment onsite wasnt useable. Overall we stayed one night was a place to sleep
