We had a 2 bedroom unit and found it ideal. Good location close to town, used the free wifi, good beds and efficient staff. Had 3 meals at the RSA which is almost next door, Excellent food and a friendly place.

This is a basic no frills motel, staff are very helpful. It's ticks the boxes two bedroom units, ok kitchen , decent shower and decent sleep quality, and it's very clean. The down side walls are little thin, we heard everything going on next door as they got up earlier than us. Wifi is free but further away from the... More

I booked this for a nights stay for my mum, over from the UK. She was going on a cruise from Pahia and needed 1 nights accommodation before. She was very pleased with the Tui and was pleasantly surprised with the quality "especially for a motel". We will be booking this again for the other in laws when they are... More

Good place to stay for Bay of Islands as Pier and small town of Paihia very close. There were 5 of us so space a little tight, however the sofa bed is quite ok for a couple of days. Trip to Russell is very good.

A special thanks to Rochine from Gary from England. Thanks for a wonderful stay at your motel and making me feel extra special as a guest. Your motel was extremely clean and loved every minute i was there. I would recommend this motel for anyone coming to Paihia

The motel is a flat walk to the sea with... More

My family spent 2 days in Paihia and stayed at Aarangi Tui Motel as our base while we did some fun activities including The Rock! We had the most amazing time together in the clean, tidy, self contained unit. The owners were more than accomadating to us and had lots of knowledge and information to share with us to make... More

Old, dated, tired furniture and beds. Basically the same fixtures and fittings as when built in the 80's, but with a fresh coat of paint. I've travelled to many places around the world and haven't come across such a mediocre establishment for quite some time. On the upside, it is well located and budget priced. But so are other better... More

Nice hotel. Very friendly lady checked us in and provided details of the Waitangi weekend programme. Short walk to the restaurants and beach. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Would visit again.
