    The bed was too soft for us and we had some problems with getting sleep because of that, but that's the only drawback

    Great location close to Paihia center, nice clean room with everything you might need, very friendly and caring hosts, heartwarming bonus is the host making breakfast for you in the morning, we felt very welcome!

    Our main hassle was the remote for the TV. No instructions how to use. We wrestled with it but gave up in the end. Would be good to have a radio, too. Otherwise, really good

    Water cylinder is a bit small so can't really enjoy the big shower to the fullest. Besides that no complaints

    The owners are warm and friendly and supply such a wonderful breakfast and I'm a big guy and it filled me nicely. The unit was clean and spacious also warm and welcoming. Beautiful big shower. Unit was cleaned daily and all needs were met, not to far from Paihia center with the beach just 40 steps away. Such a lovely stay, will definitely be back.

    Not much at all to be honest.....excellent value for money and a very friendly host. Did find the double bed uncomfortable though + shower pressure on the low side....but we still slept OK and showered perfectly well!

    breakfast was amazing.....such a treat! It was very quiet and easy to get to places from the motel.

    Nothing not to like

    Paihia Star Motel is very close to the beach and an easy walk to shops and a range of restaurants and cafes. The owner is very obliging - I was silly enough to leave an item of clothing behind and once I realised (the same day) and contacted him he arranged for it to be returned.

    The shower room has not enough strong of water, the water pressure is too low. If it can be fixed, Paihia star can get 100 marks

    Rooms are clean, Trevor is very nice. He and his wife provide excellent breakfast to us. They do the housekeeping everyday.

    Bed too soft for our liking. Photos a bit misleading as there is no "view" from the rental rooms of the property.

    We had four generous,delicious breakfasts served promptly at 08:30 to our wee patio by Trevor. We utilized the complimentary laundry; much appreciated. The location is very good as it is as the bend in the road as Seaview becomes Marsden Road entering Paihia.
