We had a spacious two bedroom unit. The staff could not have been more helpful - any time I mentioned plans they offered us items that would help (the loan of a picnic basket, bicycle, shopping bags, beach towels...) We were always greeted by name and felt appreciated.

The room could have used a brush and shovel so we could clean up after ourselves.

The room was exceptional! Very well presented, comfortable, clean and definitely gave off a relaxed atmosphere. On site parking which was fantastic. Staff were lovely and made us feel at home. I loved the information book which was very thorough and helpful as we touring the area. Nice short walk from the city.

I was overall pleased with our stay, the room and location of the motel. My only ‘dislike’ would be our motel entrance had glass sliding doors and at times we could hear people walking and talking as they went past which did at times feel awkward but nonetheless it was tolerable.

It is very close to the beach and restaurants, the beds were comfortable, there was a functional kitchen with filtered tap, the AC was nice and strong, and the view from our balcony was beautiful. And the staff were lovely!!

Some of toiletries were a bit sparse compared to what I'm used to.

A block and a half from where the action starts it was perfectly situated for us. The owner and staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. The apartment was clean and well appointed.

A problem with many NZ beach apartments seems to be a lack of a bathroom fan. I’m sure this isn’t a problem during the high season, but here in late June, one good hot shower left the bathroom dripping for the duration of our stay.

It provided what we needed. It's close enough to get to the main road. The room has a high ceiling with air conditioning.

The light was a bit dim. Some were flickering in our room.

A very warm welcome by Penny one of the owners. Our garden suite room was spacious, comfy and very well equipped. We loved the small kitchen with tea and coffee making facilities and a microwave. Fresh milk was available from reception. A very informative folder was in our room giving recommendations of excursions, walks etc Admirals View Lodge is in a quiet location and a pleasant 10 minute walk along the beautiful sea front into Paihia. We loved our 2 night stay here and would happily stay again. Supetb

Nothing!

We absolutely loved our stay. They had everything we needed. Cheap laundry facilities and free bike and helmet usage. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, tidy and serviced every day for the four days we were there. We are already planning our next trip back. Thank you for your hospitality 😊

We intended to stay 2 nights and it ended up as 4. Paihia was a really good base and the hotel was a real home from home. It was perfectly situated, just far enough away to be quiet, but close enough for us to walk to where we needed to be.

Nothing

The host was lovely. The location was great , walking distance to town , restaurants and the ferry terminal . Also walking distance to beaches . We had access to laundry with free drying facilities.

We were happy with everything at this motel .

We had our own breakfast, but the location was not far from all facilities. for dinner etc. The management were excellent, they would do anything that you wanted and went out of their way to give you the extra mile.

The only thing that was missing was a chair or stool in the bathroom, so you could sit on while dressing or placing your clothes on it. Also, a rail in the shower for elderly people to hold onto.
