Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    Ala Moana is a great motel, just a short stroll to the town centre. The room itself was very spacious, clean, comfortable, and the kitchenette had everything you needed if you were eating in. The bathroom was a good size. John was a lovely host and very helpful. Would definitely recommend staying at Ala Moana if visiting Paihia.

    This motel had everything we could've needed. It's set back from the road, unlike most other motels in the area, which means it's perfectly quiet and no road noise when you want to sleep. Beds were comfy too. The small kitchen (microwave, electric hob, kettle, toaster) was very useful, and we appreciated that it was in a separate little room to our bedroom. The pool and hot tub were an additional bonus (although the pool was probably a little cold for some!). Laundry facilities also a plus.
