"My husband and I stayed at Aloha for 3 nights and were very happy with everything. Its grounds are spacious and full of amenities. I commented to my partner that it would be a great place to bring children since they would be easily entertained. The furniture in the room was a bit out of style but functional and clean. It was a great value for all its perks. We had a lovely stay and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Paihia, as it was a quick and pleasant walk into town."

"Great find and a little bit away from the hustle and bustle of the main strip of Paihia but still easily accessible by walking or car. Great views of the ocean; we had a poolside studio that was well appointed and had comfortable beds to sleep in. Also had a mini kitchenette area that was great to utilise. Poolside studio can get a little noisy when children are running about but manageable. A little on the expensive side especially during peak holiday times."

"This is the hostel to stay when you're in Paihia. It's the best location, pretty much next to bus stop, across ferry and in between the shops. The facilities are good (nice/big kitchen, good lounge,). Bathroom is clean and has enough space. Everything is new which is nice. The bed (I stayed in a shared dorm for 4) was good too. Good matrass, light and socket and a curtain for privacy wich I think is really nice. I would definitely recommend this place. There wasn't anything I didn't like."

"Our first stop on our North Island tour was the Bay of Islands, and the staff at Breakwater Motel really helped our holiday get off to a fantastic start. When we checked in, I asked about what to do around Paihia, and they helpfully gave me relevant brochures and information. After picking an activity (swimming with dolphins), they rang around and found me the best time and price from the local tours, and we were all booked for the next day! They also suggested some good places to eat. The room was very pleasant; one of the few motels that we stayed in with a bedroom separate to the kitchen/lounge, and a decently-sized bathroom. Everything was nice and clean. Parking was in a bay literally right outside the front door. The WiFi actually worked, was decently fast, and the data allocation was relatively large for New Zealand (200MB each). The location is perfect: the last motel on the Paihia strip, so very quiet, but only a few minutes' walk from the central wharf area with all the shops and restaurants. The only downside to it all was it was the most expensive place we stayed in during our entire tour, but I think that reflects the prices in Paihia generally."
