The Anchorage is a fabulous place to stay. Awesome location on the beach front and a close walk to town. Our room was amazing - very clean, great amenities, comfortable and the spa bath was the icing on the cake! The hosts were also fabulous - great advice on things to do and even provided some taxi services for us.... More

We recently spent 5 nights at the Anchorage in the deluxe sea view studio on the second floor. The room was a nice size with kitchen facilities, bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom included a large tub. Everything was very clean. We were traveling by bus and the motel is within easy walking distance from the bus stop; however,... More

Was a pleasant stay with comfy well equipped rooms, although I feel they are over priced by $20 - $30 per night. Was surprised to find upon checking in that free wifi is only for 100 MB....I wish motels/hotels would state clearly in their advertising there is a limit if this is the case as it is important to me...

Everything was neat,tidy & well organised. Even the kitchen utensils are arranged in a special position .And all of the motel is spotless. The... More

We were recommended this motel by friends on our first visit to Paihia so having enjoyed our stay we used it again for our second visit. The good position of the motel at the beginning of the road into Paihia means it is quiet and our first floor room meant we had a good view over the front grounds to... More

We stayed here for 2 nights on the upper floor. The view of the bay was magnificent. The bed was very comfortable and the room was both spacious and clean. The staff were most friendly & answered our email enquiry within hours when we were booking our room. We will be back for sure :)

Aileen welcomed us and offered a wonderful upgrade. After 2 weeks in campervan in the South Island the bed was so wonderful. I should mention the amenities in the room. All the little shower potions were in place, but most wonderful was the very complete hot beverage service including tea, instant coffee, ground coffee for plunger coffeee (French Press) and... More
