Averill Court Motel, hotel in Paihia

Averill Court Motel offers spacious self-contained accommodations, only 492 feet from Paihia Beach. All rooms are built around a central pool area with spa pool, swimming pool and sun terrace.

We were actually 'upgraded' from two standard rooms to the cottage. We have a family of 4 with older children and this was a great bonus. The cottage was spacious and totally suited out needs and would look into booking that next time. The teens swam in the pool and the spa pool, it wasn't too busy. The host was great, called us before we arrived to ask if we'd mind changing rooms, which was no problem and held our lost property later (oops!). Definitely thought it was great value for money for a family with older teen children.
