Wonderful place, with great owners. Easy walking to all food places, wharf, shops, etc

Was very disappointed to have a unit half looking at the bank/trees and only half at the view. We always got a full view before! Specifically booked here for that reason. Also car parking a long way from unit. Probably wouldn’t go there again, even though we have been so many times before, so disappointing 😞

Very helpful staff. Everything clean and of good standard, very comfortable king bed. Minuses: access to wardrobe and drawers in the bedroom limited due to close proximity of the bed. Access to microwave inconvenient due to its positioning (sideway) in a corner of the kitchenette.

We had an awesome stay at the breakwater motel, lovely water front view, closed by shops the restaurants for convenience, friendly staff and super nice and clean facilities; can’t ask for more, highly recommended!

Unfortunately our room was not available for the first night and the owners did not resolve the issue to our satisfaction. In fact at check out one was particularly dismissive and rude.

Very clean, great location, lovely view

Convenient, quiet, clean and comfortable with short walk to beach or town.

We didn’t like the loud music for the 2 nights we stayed.

Got in very late so was grateful we could do a late check in over the phone and the key was left out for us. Unit was clean and comfortable for our overnight stay. Expensive for what we needed so wouldn’t stay there again.

Comfortable and clean hotel near the water and a short walk from downtown with helpful friendly staff. We were able to check in early.

Reception staff super nice and helpful offering advise on what to see in the area Room was very clean with nice coffee and even hot chocolate Great view of the water from front rooms Walking distance to town Def recommend

Great stay at Breakwater Motel for our family of five. Room was serviced daily, baby cot in the bedroom when requested. Large kitchen with utensils for cooking. Overall nice clean room with fantastic sea views.

Five nights = Five stars! Excellent room, excellent view, excellent staff, excellent stay. Everything about this hotel was awesome. Definitely our first choice when/if we return to the area.

This is a lovely motel in Paihia. We loved our stay here. We had enough space to get unpacked and comfortable and the view out our bedroom and living area were stunning. We loved waking up to the sounds and smells of the ocean and loved to leave the sliders open at night as we relaxed. Incredible views and very calm atmosphere. The service was quite great as well. Anything we needed was taken care of quickly and the daily cleaning service was great. My only complaint was that the internet connection was pretty poor. I had to sit in just the right spot in one area of our unit to get connected to the wifi. Once connected, it worked pretty well. But they could probably benefit from some additional access points to increase the wifi connectivity.

The best feature of this property was the fact it was within walking distance to all of the main facilities of Paihia. Restaurants, shopping and all tourism outlets were very handy. The internet in our room was very limited and with no phone number listing or radio in the room access to local information was limited. The management did provide a wifi booster to assist with the internet access after we complained. Would suggest an upgrade to the internet access would be an asset in the post covid era in which compendiums are no longer supplied in guests rooms.

Internet only working in main room not in bedroom Tv only had Chanel’s in the lounge room to use tv in bedroom you needed to walk into lounge to change the Chanel , very hard to do anything in the bedroom

Wonderful Place

Perfect accommodation for a family of 5. Lovely view and close to shops, food, ferry. Thanks

Very clean! Close to the wharf and beach. Ask for a bayside room!

Friendly staff, very clean and a great location.

Great view even from our unit toward the rear of the property. Easy walk to everything in Paihia.

Fabulous location, lovely hosts, great room.excellent stay!

A very clean & welcoming place to stay. Walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants & supermarkets. A great place to stay!

Parking was tight spots only, floor was cleaned only twice in 5 night stay. All else was good. Location is excellent so on noisy highway.

Location was perfect, loved it here. So clean too.

Housekeeping was superb. Easy walk to everything in town. Spacious, clean and comfortable suite. The wonderful view made up for the bit of road noise.

Beautiful views. Double-glazed windows reduced traffic noise.:
