Room was very well laid out, balcony with view was really nice. Everything spotlessly clean and, as usual, milk in the fridge and coffee provided, and lots of other room amenities. Bathroom spacious, shower good, towels and bedding really super quality. Owners were very kind and gave great suggestions. Parking was perfect and location to everything was excellent, e.g. grocery, restaurants, ferries, etc. Highly recommend!

This room would have been a perfect 10, but the mattress was way, way too soft and really needs replacing, and the balcony privacy could be improved, maybe even with a few plants or some small barrier.

We were there for 3 nights. Property was ideally placed. 20 min walk to Waitangi. 5 mins to the lanes and port for boats to Russell & day trips. 2 mins to the sea. Room was well equipped. Surprisingly quiet. Perfect for a short stay.

Nothing really. We were on ground floor looking out on the car park. Probably better upstairs. So no stunning views. But hey ho we were very pleased with it. If you pay by card there’s an additional % charge and I’d booked in sterling and got an additional % conversion charge. Not massive but the longer you stay then obviously the more that % uplift will be.

Everything from the easy booking and comms to the check-in. Girl was very welcoming. Moved from the Naki, thank you for your hospitality. Beds were amazing as was our room, Number 4, was originally the Family room number 3 but swapped it cos it had the dishwasher lol. So comfy we have booked for 2025. Yusss.

Our toaster crapped out at peak hour but we managed. Thats probs it.

No, I didn't request a quiet room - my request was for ground floor, and seafront location. Yes, both requests were fulfilled. This is our favourite room (No4) and was very clean as usual.

Nothing needs to be improved at all. We prefer Bayview Motel after having stayed in several other Paihia locations. Bayview is everything we look for, e.g. ground floor as Gail cannot manage stairs very comfortably and this motel is so close to town, just an easy walk. The view is amazing. The people are very welcoming.

Location

We stayed 3 nights BUT on day 2 our whole studio smelled of sewage . By the time we left it was so bad we had to leave the bathroom door closed at all times. On the last day as we went to leave the office was closed and couldn't let the owner know. So I emailed them to give them a chance to reply or maybe compensate us as it was over $200 a night but haven't heard back so hence my bad review. What a shame 😔

Fast Friendly Communication. Ruth was kind friendly and helpful from outset. Immaculately Clean Rooms. Sufficient & Practical Furniture/Furnishings. Well Equipped Kitchen. Further Updating/Renovations to be carried out in near future , including aircon units. Fantastic Views and Perfect Location..(Flat)Walk to Ferry Terminal, Cafes, Supermarket and Shops. 10-15min walk to Waitangi. Noise(vehicles and people) is to be expected, considering you are road and waterfront on Paihia's main thoroughfare. Great First experience staying at a Motel in Paihia. Usual stay is at one of the chain hotels or apartment accommodation. Highly Recommend Bayview Motel.

I really liked the location, which was lose to the township as well as being close to the venue for our event. I was able to book more rooms for next years event in advance, Very friendly management and staff, and the cleanliness was second to none.

Not much to not like, I would recommend highly to other travellers. the only thing I would mention although not the fault of the owners is that there is no pool, however there is a enormous pool just across the road.

Fantastic location, clean and comfortable. Huge room with a great view. Quiet. Bed was a bit soft for our liking but otherwise we loved staying here! The only thing I would recommend is changing from the little plastic soap and shampoo/conditioner packets to something more environmentally friendly.

Great location short walk to Paihia wharf and restaurants.

Older style motel but not an issue. Basic TV stations - need to use own streaming which if from overseas doesn't always work.

Perfect location right next to food places and the pier. Lovely, spacious room with all desired amenities including hair dryer etc. Friendly and helpful hosts. Beautiful view.

Would be nice if the balcony was individual rather than shared however we had it to ourselves for all of our stay :)
