We used to stay at Bayview regularly and haven’t been to Paihia in a while.
Particularly like the central location and safe undercover parking for motorcycles.
Graham is a delightful host.
We used to stay in the 3bdrm unit with other couples and Graham recommended the studio beach view Unit 8 for the two of us – well worth the paying the extra for the view! We enjoyed it so much that ended up bringing takeaways home to eat.
Well-appointed unit with full cooking facilities – even an oven if you feel so inclined. BBQ right outside on the deck along with lounger chairs.
Good value motel. Comfortable and has everything you need.
Apparently, there are specials during the off-season if you are up that way.
Don’t miss a boat trip to Russell. Paihia has great eating places and handy supermarkets.
