This properly enjoys excellent ratings which are well deserved.

This was a great hotel. The room was large, it was well equipped with everything from pots and pans to a small stove and microwave and fridge. The room was clean and the staff was very helpful. There is also an easy to use laundry area. My only complaint was the internet. It was really SLOOOOOW. I'm a digital nomad, so this is important to me and I measure things like speed. When I arrived, it was running about 4-5 Mbps,acceptable, probably not fast enough for streaming but good enough for email By evening, it has degraded to .1 Mbps, making web use next to impossible and even email or using spotify painfully slow. Time to upgrade to more bandwidth. I'm in a motel in the northland in the middle of nowhere with speeds of 30-40 Mbps, so I know it is possible. Other than that quibble, important to me but perhaps not to most people, it was a great stay. I would recommend it as long as you don't have a Zoom meeting or need to send multimedia files.

Wonderful friendly service from Penny the owner and from Keri who was on reception when we arrived. The room was wonderful very spacious , clean and very comfortable beds.

Quiet, staff friendly and helpful. Room spacious, furniture a bit tied but wasn’t there long enough for any impact

Our room was spacious and clean, with a very large bed. The lady on reception was helpful with lots of advice for trips and restaurants. An easy 10 minute stroll to the centre of Paihia.

3 night booked with a garden view, The room was good although we did have a small problem which I took up with the owner and offered to pay to upgrade. She obligingly moved us upstairs for two nights and the room was so much better and she did not charge me anything. Very friendly staff and owner. Easy access to the beach and pier.

Had a peak a view of the ocean and the cruise ship. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful unit with friendly staff and a good selection of CATV channels Within walking distance of most restaurants but further away than many other hotels

Have stayed here 3 times on short breaks to Paihia . Consistently good . Comfy beds , clean , nice outlook , quiet , friendly . Recommend

We were greeted warmly, Penny the owner drove us to pick up some groceries which we really appreciated. We like to sleep in and if we did not leave the room by 10, no one came to make it up later. The room was spacious and comfortable. Location was an easy walk to town. We found the pool not ideal. There was no railing to hold for stairs and steps were deep so challenging to get in and out. We very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend this accommodation.

We were lucky to be upgraded to a more spacious room. Nice balcony although not private. Good facilities, good size shower. Lovely comfortable chairs to relax.

My stars! Our experience exceeded our highest expectations. We anticipated a late check in and Admiral's View Lodge emailed very clear instructions. The well-appointed room was a welcome relief after a long drive from Auckland: very comfortable bed, clean bathroom and well-stocked mini-kitchen. We had a full day planned and woke up well rested. The beach and restaurants are all within a short walk. We highly recommend the Admiral's View Lodge for anyone. The icing on the cake came when I inadvertently left a package in the closet - within hours I received notice from the staff and they facilitated shipping back to me. What a relief!

Quiet location, comfortable bed, staff were very helpful.

Very friendly, nice and quiet

Loved our stay here

Nice stay within budget. Very clean room, a bit tired but clean. 10-min walk to Main Street and ferry pier. Very friendly staff who gave good suggestions for places to dine in.

Lovely staff!

Friendly and helpful. Clean and cosy room. Will stay again. Good facilities.

Stayed for a night only and wish could have stayed for longer. Very clean and spacious room. Lovely and friendly host.

From the moment you arrive you feel welcome and the rooms are serviced daily. So handy to to the beach front, shops, restaurants, 7 daily grocery and dairy plus liquor store. the staff serving your room take pride in their work so if its a clean, comfortable and well appointed room this is the place to stay.

Great to walk into town

Given apartment with great views. King bed, seating area, kitchen and dining area, large bathroom with shower and jacuzzi bath. Couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Very helpful and friendly folks run this hotel. Balcony Studio room was comfortable but no view.

Great quiet place

We were very well looked after and will recommend to our friends.

Was a lovely place to stay nice and clean and modern, had everything I needed.

Great place to stay when in the area. This Lodge is in a nice quiet area of town but only a short walk into the restaurant area. Lovely hosts.. friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and has everything anybody needs, would recommend.

Great place to stay

Booked this accommodation quite last minute due to a cancellation. Upon arrival Penny was very helpful and the housekeeping staff were fantastic. My room was ready for an early check-in as requested. The double room was incredible. Very comfortable bed and huge bathroom. Plenty of parking and within walking distance of beach and restaurants.
