We stayed at 5 motels over the Easter break, all in this price range, and this motel was by far the best one of them all. The rooms were very clean and tidy, with obvious thought given to the quality and looks of everything. The setting was just magic, with views from the balcony over the waterfall and river. We...

Stayed 2 nights in the motel but also hired a powered campsite for my parents campervan who were travelling with us. Facilities very good both in the Motel and Campgrounds with nothing lacking. Nice friendly staff who were always around and ready to help in every way. Lovely views and very close to Paihia and Kerikeri. More

At the beginning it seem like another standard road motel, however when you come to other side and see the wonderful view of the harbour and the falls, the nice garden and pool, you perspective completely change. In addition, the couple that manage the motel are very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and well equipped so we truly... More

We stayed for 3 nights on the campground. Must be one of the best settings for a campsite in NZ. Right on the river with a direct view of the Falls 200m away. Amazing bird life. Just awesome, beautifully kept and fully equipt including use of motel swimming pool. Very quiet but just 3k from Paihia which is buzzing in... More

This accommodation suited my wife and I just fine for the 5 nights we spent in the Bay of Island region. We received a very warm and helpful welcome from Olga who together with Andre helped us many times during our stay. The room was a good size, the balcony was well used, the room had everything we wanted and... More

We had 2 nights in the King Studio. Our room had its own balcony looking directly to the waterfall and river. We had a great time even though the weather was against us - at least we got to see the waterfall at full force. Andre was very helpful with tours and advice on eating out. It was a great... More

My Mum was visiting from the U.K. and we booked one of the motel family units. We had a wonderful stay. Andre and his family were welcoming, friendly and very helpful. The whole complex was clean and tidy and had amazing views of the falls. The perfect place to relax and explore the Bay of Islands. Our children loved the... More

We had a wonderful four days in the Bay of Islands based at this small motel only three kms away from the touristy town of Paihia. The owners were very helpful and obliging, giving useful advice and organising bookings. The self-catered unit was clean, tidy and comfortable with an outlook directly over the river and Haruru Falls. The kitchen was... More
