As the name suggested Paihia Central Motel is very central, but then so are a number of other Motels in the area. The wharfe, restaurants, cafes are all in easy walking distance. Our unit was recently renovated, clean and tidy. Wireless internet is available (at a fee). Upon arrival we went to make ourselves a coffee but there was no... More

The property is in a good location, walking distance to the shops, restaurants and jetty in Paihia. The 2 bedroom unit was clean but a bit tired and in need of a makeover. In the master bedroom the bed was so big you couldn't open the cupboard door; there wasn't enough furniture in the lounge room for everyone to sit;... More

The Paihia Central Motel, as the Bounty Inn is now known, was a very comfortable stay for four days recently. Our spacious timber-lined unit had a separate bedroom at the rear, very quiet, and with an extremely comfortable bed. The bathroom was large with a good shower, the kitchen had a full stove, microwave and all the dishes and utensils... More

We booked for 4 nights here. Friendly welcome on arrival by the manager Rebecca who showed us round. Motel is in an excellent location just one block from the sea front and so easily accessible. Each room had its own car park space which was included in the price. Rooms were very quiet at night. We were also easily able... More

I stayed in a room with 3 other girls, 3 single beds and one put up bed. All were comfortable, even with 4 beds - plenty of room. Bathroom was a decent size although shower wasn't great and did leak. Small kitchenette is a good plus - cooker, microwave for those that want to cook their own meals. Balcony with... More

We booked 1 night at the bounty Inn but after seeing Paihia and the room decided to stay an extra night. Scott was extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean and comfortable and ours (No 28) had a great sea view. It had a good range of amenities in the room so you could be self sufficient with breakfast... More

We stayed on our way to Cape Reinga on a busy Auckland anniversary weekend. I understand that age can have a negative impact but it costs nothing to weed the gardens. We requested a ground floor room but alas the room above was noisy and every activity in the room could be heard through the floor. TV was small, water... More

I spent four nights at the Bounty Inn, and they were welcoming long before i even flew into the country, emailing me personally about the booking, and that was a nice touch to begin with. They gave me a great room, some lovely views, a very comfy bed and lounge area with quality appointed furnishings and touches. Housekeeping very attentive... More
