The view, if you purchase a suite...other than that I wouldn't purchase the other rooms as they are locked away at the back with no view.

I like everything about the room. It was the perfect size for the three of us. The beds are super comfortable, and the shower was good pressure, too. I like the setup of the room. Cute hotel.

We went to Paihia as this was close to the Marae we intended to visit on this occasion. There were limited decent food options- however the glasshouse had exception food and service, was very impressed by this. No where else was good food, but almost everywhere was crazy overpriced for what they offered.
There was limited things to do, due to it being winter and bitterly cold. This was fine as we went with a purpose which was not sightseeing. But the ferry trip to russel was nice and we killed a few hours over there also

Great to take the hole in the rock boat trip.
Great to take the hole in the rock boat trip. Very convenient to catch the boat and hope over to Russell for a day trip. Lovely meal and walk at the wineyard in Russell. Lovely time to visit Pahia when it is sunny. Beautiful to spend 4 to 7 days chilling with the perfect sunset and sunrise. The indian restaurant along the beach at pahia is very authentic. Highly recommend pahia roadtrip.

Paihia is a very good place to stay if you want to explore...
Paihia is a very good place to stay if you want to explore Northland. If you are driving, you can go on your own to the tip of the North Island in about 3 hours. You can drive over to the Kauri Forest on the west side in about 1.5 hours. You can get tours out of Paihia for the Bay of Islands, the Ninety Mile Beach/Cape Reinga, Waitangi Treaty Grounds (you can walk there, about 3 km), rent kayaks or paddle boards, get fishing charters, take a ferry to Russell (or drive there). We spent 5 nights there and could have stayed a few more days and done even more.

Paihia is such a beautiful part of New Zealand!
Paihia is such a beautiful part of New Zealand! As the gateway to the Bay of Islands, there is so much to see and do here. There are some incredible restaurants to eat at and my husband highly recommends the Waitangi Golf Club just 5 minutes from Paihia. Definitely add the Bay of Islands to your list of places to visit in the North Island of NZ!

Slightly out of town which we prefer

Motel was perfect and made our stay in the area
Loved the Treaty ground, so interesting
Got the car ferry to Russell and walked up to flagstaff hill
Beautiful beach on the other side of the hill
Our stay at Bay of Islands Beachhouses was wonderful and a real highlight of our New Zealand holiday. We were met by owner Theo on our arrival and shown around. The views out over the beach and bay were spectacular and the apartment itself was immaculate. From the apartment we could soak up the views, enjoy the quiet beach below or take a short 10 minute walk around the shore to the restaurants and facilities in the main town of Paihia. We couldn't have asked for more and only regret that we didn't stay longer.
The Scenic Hotel Bay of Islands is a large, sprawling establishment and this suited us down to the grounds because we didn't have to live cheek and jowl with lots of neighbours. We were quietly oblivious of anyone else in the vicinity. The dining room was just a nice distance from our room, to give us a small bit of exercise when we walked from one to the other. The Hotel is only slightly away from the main beach and shops, so walking to and fro was a pleasant excursion.
This motel is situated on the main strip of Paihia, was easily located. 10 mins walk to the Paihia Ferry harbour. Few minute's walk to the beach. Room was very comfortable and clean. Small kitchen facilities provided. Bathroom was clean and shower was a good size. Very happy with our stay. Friendly staff. Pool was nice as well. Water was a bit cold but since it was a hot day that didn't matter too much.
The bed was probably the comfiest I've ever slept on in a hotel and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. It's across the bridge from the main 'centre' of Paihia, so it's either a couple of minutes drive or a half an hour flat walk. Pool area is lovely, with shade umbrellas and loungers dotted around for free, but a bit small and cramped once you get a few families in there.
Great all-round accommodation and value for money for a family. Great balcony with afternoon shade and spectacular view. Well located especially if you don't mind walking a bit, being an easy 10 min walk down the hill to the beach and 15 mins to Paihia wharf. A bit of energy required to get home up the hill but not a problem for those physically able and up for a bit of exercise.
The Averill Motel is in a good location and within easy walking distance to bars restaurants and the beach. We found the manager very informative and helpful for excursions. The unit was clean and we had fresh towels every day. We only booked for two nights but stayed a third night. I can recommend the motel. Has nice pool and spa and the area around was very clean.
Great location just a few minutes walk to the beach and main strip of shops and restaurants - and yet still a quite location. Lovely view from the shared balcony. Comfortable beds. Very clean. Helpful staff who gave us a discount for some of the tours. Great to be able to use the guest laundry while we were there too.
Family of 6 stayed for 3 nights. Room was clean & beds were comfy! Excellent location with everything within walking distance. Andy was very friendly & welcoming & allowed me to bring my 6month olds portacot! Will definitely be my go to place too stay when holidaying in Paihia with my children 😊
The room that we got in the older section was great value - it was large and for our family it meant that we all had a bit more space. The motel is a great location, only a 2 min walk to centre of town. The parking is great, staff friendly and it was a comfortable 3 night stay.
Lovely hotel on a beach with an amazing view. We had a room with a terrace on the 1st floor. Enjoyed spending time outside and soaking in the hot tub. The food is amazing in the restaurant. You can also have snacks and drinks for a less during happy hour.
Beautiful views and location. Paihia is in such a beautiful part of New Zealand.
Norm and Shelagh were most welcoming. After the whole world has been locked down it was so nice to visit such a friendly and accommodating motel. Would definitely return.
Amazing motel room for an amazing price. The units are excellent, clean and tidy! The duty manager is very lovely and made us feel welcomed to Paihia. The swimming pool was clean blue and lovely. Will definitely book again.
Perfect location in Paihia, with easy walkability to cafe's, restaurants, the wharf etc. The room we chose had views over the water towards Russell and was a lovely spot to take in the atmosphere of the Bay of Islands.
Very clean and quiet Motel that is located right by the water and also 5 minutes walk from ferry terminal and restaurants. Very friendly staff and owners. Definitely recommend staying at Breakwater Motel Paihia
Comfortable room in a great location close to central Paihia. Paul was a friendly and generous host. Great value for money. Room was serviced daily. Very nice breakfast across the road at a hotel.
Loved everything! The fact that my family of 5 could all stay in the same room was a perfect, other motels/hotels I looked at I would have had to book 2 separate rooms.
