We spent 2 nights here at the end of January, We'd never stayed in a motel before and this gem of a find surpassed our expectations by a mile. The accommodation was well presented and spotless with everything provided that you would need for a short stay. The bed was very comfortable too! The location is perfect, on a quiet... More

My husband and I spent a week at Outrigger Motel. The service was outstanding in both efficiency and friendliness with the hosts going the extra mile without even being asked. The location is excellent; close to everything you could possibly want but it was also beautifully quiet, just slightly away from the hustle of the main road. The cleanliness couldn't... More

My partner and I stayed at the Outrigger Motel over New Years and I have never been so impressed with a motel in NZ! Greg and Suzi are the most incredible hosts, so friendly and helpful, and Suzi must be the nicest lady I have ever met! :) We booked last minute (by literally walking into the office and asking)...

I stayed at Outrigger Motel with friends in a one bedroom unit. Everything was fantastic - hot showers, clean room, BBQ available and hot tub. Suzi and Greg were amazing hosts (and Georgie their dog too), always a friendly smile and helpful when asked touristy questions. 1 min walk to shops, jetty and restaurants. I will definitely be back and... More

I was traveling through New Zealand for the first time by car. My GPS had just died, I was having other rental car issues and I knew I wasnt going to be able to make it back to Auckland by that evening. I happened upon the Outrigger Motel by chance and went in and met with Susie. I was noticeably... More

We were in Pahia for labour weekend, had an absolute blast, the festival with the Feelers playing and loads of local food and wine was fab. But the best bit was Suzi and Greg's hospitality they were fantastic.....it happened to be my birthday and they went the extra mile for me (made my day, thanks). Would go back in a... More

I had been recommended the Outrigger by a friend of Suzi & Greg in Hastings and originally booked to stay 2 nights. I ended up staying 5 nights! Whilst this was partly because I fell in love with the Bay of Islands, it is equally true that Suzi & Greg made me feel so welcome that I felt at home... More
