Pros: Everything is wonderful, nice place to spend couple of days. Thanks for the hospitality of Nadine, she is really nice girl. It’s pity that we had only 2 nights here, next time should plan more days to stay. By the way, the breakfast is really good, we love the egg Bene and the view in the kitchen.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: One of the most enjoyable stays I've had in New Zealand. The room is very nice. The Jacuzzi is very good for the end of a day for relaxation. The breakfast is one of the best I've ever had. The hosts are extremely friendly and we really feel at home. The reception was spectacular and we were given tips on what we could do and the other morning always worrying about what we had done. It was at Chale Romantica that I asked for my fiancée Baswati's hand and where the host provided us with the environment for it. To remember, remember and come back for sure :)

Pros: An excellent overall experience in beautiful part of NZ. Great hospitality by hostess Nadienne, magnificent facilities and superb breakfast. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Cons: NA

Pros: The bed was so comfortable, the shower was fabulous, great breakfast, hot tub was amazing, goats to pet, and all around so many thoughtful touches.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The overall ambiance was lovely with a real chalet feel for the room and an amazing view from balcony. The host was also lovely, very welcoming and bubbly, and served a sumptuous breakfast. Really enjoyed our stay.

Cons: Nothing really though had a spa and for my personal liking having the temp around 38 is better though partner didn't mind the 36. Otherwise everything else made a lovely stay.

Pros: Lovely room with wonderful view and great hosts who are the perfect balance of friendly and professional.

Pros: The breakfast was amazing, the view was amazing and the staff/hosts made our experience worth our money and time

Pros: View, friendly host

Pros: Fantastic place to stay. Great view.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Excellent breakfast with plenty of fruit and fresh, home-made bread and good coffee

Pros: Our hosts knowledge of the area, their ability to assist you with your itinerary, provide recommendations for restaurant dining in Paihia, which did not disappoint. All around friendly nature of our hosts wanting to ensure we had a great time in the area, and to make the most of our time here. Which we did and throughly enjoyed ourselves. Best of all was learning about the Maori culture.

Cons: There was noting we didn’t like, perhaps the rain at the time, but our hosts could not control that. The only issue is that as you drive in and out of the Lodge, you do need to be careful of the other traffic, as you are on a bend, so have very little visual of other cars approaching. As you gathered you do need a car to access the lodge, as it a little way outside the township of Paihia.

Pros: A memorable stay with Paul and Barbara. We were made to feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we arrived. Paul had me laughing with his delightful sense of humour. A great stay, lovely breakfast, would not hesitate to recommend Morepork Riverside Lodge.

Cons: Small thing out of the owners control ... easy to miss the driveway until you have done it a couple of times. The owners have put up signs which helps.

Pros: Everything. Beautiful location...beautiful room and very beautiful owners

Pros: We felt like home. Barb & Paul really care and looked after us from the moment we checked-in.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The hosts, Paul and Barb, were extremely warm, very hospitable, and super awesome! Property is tucked right before the bustling town of Paihia, and it comes with a beautiful view!

Pros: The owner was extremely helpful in recommending activities in the area especially with the inclement weather we were experiencing.

Cons: The owner was extremely helpful in recommending activities in the area especially with the inclement weather we were experiencing.

Pros: My partner and I enjoyed our stay at Morepork Riverside Lodge very much. Paul and Barb were excellent hosts, going out of their way to provide an excellent breakfast, very enjoyable conversations and plenty of advice for daily activities, if needed . The room was large, very clean with plenty of space for our luggage. The bathroom was of large size and very clean. As always with such great accommodation, we were sorry that we couldn't stay even longer (we spend a total of four nights at Morepork Riverside Lodge).

Pros: Everything was perfect. Clean and very comfortable rooms - ours had a super view. A substantial and well presented breakfast with fresh eggs from the ‘girls’. Excellent marmalade too!! We had a wonderful welcome from Paul and Barb and they looked after us so well with homemade cakes and advice on places to visit. We have threatened to come back!

Pros: Breakfast was amazing. Beds were very comfortable and the hosts were very gracious.

Pros: This was the last B and B on our 3 week visit to NZ and I think we left the best to last. Beautiful location and great hosts at this property. The cooked breakfast was excellent and is taken in the main part of the house.

Pros: Beautiful room, modern with the style. The hosts were amazing, they treat us with everything, excellent breakfast, additional food treaties in the afternoon, marvelous bottle of vine. Free towels for the beach. The place is like a heaven. Even more beautiful then on pictures. We will recommend it to all and will return.

Pros: The peace and quiet, the atmosphere spot on

Cons: No complaints

Pros: Breakfast was the highlight of this trip! We were served amazing coffee and hot breakfast for our 2 day stay. Karen and Kerry are amazing and good genuine people. We loved our room it was by the river and woke up to nature which was great.

Pros: Beautiful location, complimentary kayaks, private, a short drive from town

Cons: Hot, no shade on skylight.

Pros: Everything!! Quality accommodation, beautiful setting, and attention to detail. In addition, we found little “treats” in the room each day, which really made us feel like friends rather than just paying guests.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: A beautiful stay. Spacious, comfortable rooms, spotlessly clean.

Cons: Fridge was a bit noisy!

Pros: Loved the location, the view! Nice hot shower.

Cons: Bed wasn’t super comfy. However overall good place to stay.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: View was amazing staff member was amazingly friendly

Cons: The driveway could do with a sign or two more to show your on the right one. We arrived quite late and it wasn’t exactly the clearest but we made it first try

Pros: Customer service was great

Cons: NA

Pros: This motel has a truly beautiful location, it is off the main road (300m) and therefore peaceful. From the deck you look out to the bay and on our stay the moon was full so what more could you ask for. Paihia shops and restaurants are a four minute drive away, I timed it!

Cons: nothing.

Pros: I had a wonderful stay at the Craicor Apartment! It was exceptionally clean and had everything that I needed for a comfortable stay. The garden was beautiful to look out onto, and I enjoyed being able to cut some flowers to enjoy in the apartment. Communication was great, and I very much appreciated the conversations I had with Garth, who was super pleasant and welcoming.

Pros: Friendly and self contained tree house. Light and airy. Garth was a great host.

Cons: Steep steps as on hill, but it was a tree house!

Pros: What a beautiful setting. Not only did we have a serene garden setting but we also had a sea view. The room freshly renovated. I loved having a full kitchen

Pros: Amazing views and smells, private and quiet.

Pros: Great 'treehouse' apartment in the centre of Paihia - about a 10 minute walk down to the front and along the prom to the main part of the town. Great location with some very nice restaurants nearby and walking distance.

Cons: Nothing. Great apartment. We read the reviews about the steps and hill - no problem for us, but could understand it if you had difficulty climbing stairs etc. Just worth checking with the host if you had any doubt as we didn't find it anything like some of the review we read.

Pros: Outside balcony with sea view, comfortable easy chairs, well equipped kirchen

Cons: Steep walk up from town and steps.

Pros: The garden suite was nicely furnished, clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and the patio area in the garden had a view of the bay. Garth was there to meet us on arrival, was really friendly and gave us information as to trips etc. We would recommend a stay here.

Cons: Nothing, although some of the garden shrubs will need cutting back to maintain the lovely view.

Pros: The people are very nice and friendly! Very good kitchen

Pros: Amazing place in a good location, super friendly and welcoming staff, clean place to stay and the room was way nicer than we expected. Everything was perfect. Definitely going back to the lodge if I ever end up going to Paihia again.

Cons: Everything was perfect so I didn’t feel like anything was missing.

Pros: Booked last minute (1hr before arriving), check in was easy & hassle free, staff was welcoming, location was great, room was clean and tidy & suited our needs. Overall experience was awesome!

Pros: Big kitchen, warm shower & bathroom

Pros: Super friendly family owned hostel! Amazing hostel, super clean, comfortable bed and a clean bathroom. Had an amazing stay! Highly recommended:)

Cons: It said WiFi was unlimited, only 1 GB per day. Which is okay but is said “unlimited WiFi”. So that was not true.

Pros: Everything. Absolutely faultless. Sian and her team are brilliant and so accommodating, felt like home. Great location.

Pros: The people were warm and welcoming. I loved how they made sure everyone was okay! The rooms were spacious and clean, very comfortable beds as well! Overal, had a great experience there!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Convenient location. Very friendly and welcoming owners, you can tell they really take pride in their work. The lodge looks great, lovely style and very clean. Good sized, well equipt kitchen and communal areas. We were so thankful to be upgraded to a room with a private bathroom with a warm and powerful shower. Our room was perfect, we loved the big windows and colour scheme. Again all very clean and we had everything we needed including tea/coffee facilities.

Cons: Unlimited Wi-Fi would be preferable over the 1GB voucher system. Only having the option to do laundry from 6pm-10pm doesn't give much option to dry clothes outside rather than use the dryer. The area and lodge is quite noisy in the evening/night and early morning (but this is no fault of the owners).

Pros: I liked all things about the hostel. The kitchen, dining and living room were excellent. You have a lot of space and it is very comfortable.

Pros: If you have problems with your bags, the owner of the establishment can give you a ride to the bus stop :)

Cons: Maybe a free breakfast?

Pros: Not only was the cottage cute, clean and cosy but our hosts were extremely accommodating. They had extensive information on the area and surrounds, including maps and brochures of activities in the area. They even went to the effort of booking a day trip for us, it was very helpful. Thank you very much for a perfect start to our New Zealand holiday.

Pros: Large and comfortable space, lovely courtyard and a swimming pool. Quiet location.

Cons: Wash basin could have a single mixer tap instead of hot or cile separate tap

Pros: Super clean and spacious. Great hosts

Pros: I wanted to relax and take some time to enjoy more of the country side this time I was in the Bay of Islands. The location was perfect as it wasn't at the busiest part of Paihia. The local takeaway (Haruru falls) and pub (Twin Pine Manor) had great food and hospitality. Both Browyn and Granger (and Dexter, the border collie) are lovely hosts and made good recommendations for things to do and places to visit. We enjoyed fresh oysters from Kororareka - Russell, hand made chocolates from Makana and generally the beautiful sights.
