Good for travellers in Paihia area

Review of Bounty Motel
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 weeks agovia mobile
Great location and very friendly staff and atmosphere. This was very Comfortable and we had good facilities,a little noisy with roof noises in the night ( our neighbours complained of this as well)
We enjoyed Paihia as it’s a lovely place to stop over , there are many places to eat and drink and meet people. February seems a good time to go as it was easy to book cruises and not too many tourists about .
Date of stay: February 2025
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

Kia Ora Debshefer,

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so happy you enjoyed the location and had a comfortable stay. It’s great to hear you appreciated the friendly atmosphere and the facilities. We apologize for the roof noises you experienced and will look into that to ensure a quieter environment for future guests. February does indeed seem to be a lovely time to visit Paihia, and we’re glad you found it perfect for exploring. We hope to see you again soon on your next visit to this beautiful area!

Kind Regards,

We both had the best (longest ) sleep we have had for a long time. Bed was warm and very comfortable. Good airflow through back and front door kept the unit cool,all amenities were in good working order, car parking was virtually outside the unit. Laminated information sheets answered our questions and the community services were helpful.

I am aware you get what you pay for and the place was clean but some serious maintenance required, Broken light switches, only some lights working, broken cupboard doors in the kitchen and not nearly enough ammenities for “self contained “.
The owner lectured my wife over a noise complaint from downstairs from 6am and 6 pm how ridiculous that’s when people are doing things in their rooms! Don’t waste your money on this tired motel.

We spent a week here, using it to explore the area. When we booked in, The manager Bob was extremely helpful particularly in regard to tours and local information. The room is is a good size with a comfortable lounge and chair and a coffee table. There is a table and 2 chairs and a kitchenette with sink, fridge the usual crockery and cutlery and 2 glass hot plates. The king size be is comfortable with 2 decent pillows. There is a shower & toilet and a sink in the hall outside the shower. There is good storage space. The place was clean. We had a ground floor unit and there was a bit of noise from upstairs units, possibly due to poor insulation between the two. It was a short walk to the shops and restaurants as well as the ferry terminal.
