Aarangi Tui boasts a fantastic location. Just a five-minute walk to the ferry and nearby restaurants, the convenience makes it easy to explore Paihia. The room was clean and had nice amenities like tea and coffee facilities, and a flat-screen TV. I appreciated the little details, like free toiletries and the availability of kitchen utensils. the ground-floor windows had no security latches, which made me uncomfortable when trying to ventilate the room. The decor felt quite dated, and a few repairs would really enhance the ambiance. Depending on your expectations, you might find it a bit basic, but it's a decent option for those on a budget.

Close proximity to the beach and local attractions.

The shower was incredibly noisy, which disrupted our rest. The bedding had a musty smell that made me question its cleanliness. I found the towels to be rough and uncomfortable, detracting from an otherwise casual stay.

The unit felt rather run down!!! Windows that don't lock, worn curtains with rips, musty bedding, hard towels, and dusty coat hangers were just the start!!! The rust in the shower and uncomfortable furniture in the living area definitely need attention!!!

short stroll to attractions and beautiful park views

Though the motel's facilities felt a bit dated, it had an excellent position within easy walking distance of Paihia's main attractions, making it perfect for exploring the area and enjoying the views of Te Ti Bay, just a short walk away.

A cozy stay by the bay

Located just a short stroll from the main attractions, the motel provided easy access to the ferry and local restaurants. The owners were welcoming and eager to assist with any queries.

Despite the improvements underway, the rooms felt quite dated, and basic amenities were lacking. a few repairs would elevate the overall comfort significantly.

Couple Budget Travelers Delight

The managers were cute. They even went fishing and brought us fresh snapper fillets, that meal hit the spot after a long day.

It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but the experience was still worthwhile.

The kitchen had nice amenities, but the shower made terrible noises.

This was just a suitable option for a quick trip in Paihia with good value. The location was perfect, just a 5-minute walk from the ferry. If you're looking for a budget place, make sure to check if everything works before settling in.

Had an awesome stay with comfortable rooms and a coffee pot that really hit the spot! The garden area and BBQ facilities were fantastic for relaxing after a day out. The shower did make some odd noises occasionally, but it didn’t take away from the overall great experience. 😊

Clean room with flat-screen TV and electric kettle. No luggage storage available.

the room was spacious and we had everything we needed for our one night. the staff was super friendly and helped us check in a bit earlier. loved the location, easy walk to shops and the beach.

the bathroom wasn't very clean and there was no comfy chair to relax in after a long day.
