We booked on line for another hotel in Paihia and there was an issue and it was double booked. The guy from that motel organised with Bayview Motel to give us a room. We arrived and we were granted the same discounted price for a massive room! Great facility. Warm and comfy. Close to Paihia central with just a four... More

Hi Sarah, I'm pleased you were completely satisfied with your stay at the Bayview and that we could step in and save your day.The double booking at the other motel is not a bad reflection on them.It happens to all of us at some time.On line bookings often are made simultaneously with the letting of the room over the telephone...

We just spent two nights here and had a very pleasant unit with kitchen/dining area, separate bedroom and bathroom. Also had access to outside balcony with water views from our room. Very central within 2-3 minutes walk from the town centre and wharf area where there are many water activities which can be undertaken. Numerous restaurants, cares and shops nearby... More

Thankyou for your great review and kind comments.Paihia is really a lovely place to stay and our position on the beach front does show off Paihia's fabulous bay view.We would love to have you back with us soon which with our Warm Winter Special of 3 nights for $240.00 makes it very affordable.Graham and Belinda More

Stayed here 1 night and don't think I'd ever go back. I paid $160 for a waterfront room (non peak season) and the furniture in room is very outdated (wallpaper falling off walls etc) the bed was real uncomfortable and had a terrible sleep. One good thing is the location, nice that it's by the waterfront. There is a spa... More

The amount you paid for your accommodation was actually $140.00 not $160.00 which knowing our competitors rates was the lowest in April of all motels on the waterfront with a seaview.Had you brought your disatisfaction to my notice on arrival I would have relocated you on our top floor which had just been refurbished.The ground floor apartment you occupied is...

My husband and I have stayed at Bayview Motel approx. 7 times. We totally love it. We always book the front unit where there is such a great view from your balcony. Everything we need is in walking distance. Also it is spotlessly clean. Just been there this last weekend and can't wait for for our next visit there.

I have stayed at the Bayview Motel many times and thought it was about time I let others know about it.

Great Location, had a partial sea view from the little balcony. Good spacious apartment which could have slept 4. Bathroom and kitchen facilities were good and clean. Didn't see the Spa room so cannot comment. Good value for money, would stay again.

Four of us had the two front apartments which had brilliant views and right on the beachfront and a short walk to everything. I was amazed at the low tariff considering the location and it is mainly because the apartments haven't been touched in decades but still have that old charm. The kitchenette was good and we had loads of... More

Great location to the shops,restaurants and beach. Rooms are old but clean.It could be really nice if we stay in seafront room. We stayed 3bed rooms apartment.No view at all and Kids were looking forward to the Spa(i thought it is out side spa somehow....)but bit disappointed.It was really dank and smell like a old gold fish tank.
