Beautiful place with very sweet staff, however the water was non-potable. Yes, you read that right— not sure how that justifies $300/night or if that’s even legal. The porterhouse steak was unbelievably tough for the price so we passed on the $30 breakfast as we figured they probably didn’t learn how to cook overnight. Beautiful room and setting, although the giant soaking tub could not be used (the water again). Won’t return.
Slightly tired with some maintenance due.
Too many emails (I think 9 in total) re the stay. When on holiday I don't want 9 extra emails!.
Staff great, rooms really good and quiet considering the location.
It would be good to get all the Sky TV channels for the amount charged. I.e it was missing Channel 7,17,21 etc.
I had a lovely lady at the front desk when I checked in. Professional & polite even with my late evening check-in. Room was great - clean tidy & well presented! I enjoy my status at The Sands, thank you!
Small friendly motel. Room good size, big kitchen area. Bathroom dated but clean and working.
Thin walls and we had loud neighbours but all quiet overnight. Comfy bed. Beach across the road. Lovely to swim there.
MMyrkStyrStayed for 2 nights with wife and 8 year old son. The staff was super kind and welcoming. Our suite had amazing wraparound views of the bay. Parking spot was free and right next to our suite. WiFi was a bit spotty. Comfy bed. Walk to the beach was 10 min. Wonderful cafe in 2-3 min walk. The town was beautiful as well. Short drive north to the hot water beach was fun. I really liked this place. We made sure to clean up and do our dishes as note said extra fee if you left dirty dishes. Would highly recommend.
MMaryan ValenExcellent Stay at Bay of Islands Lodge!
We had a fantastic two-night stay at the Bay of Islands Lodge in Paihia. The location is perfect, close to the waterfront and attractions. The service was outstanding, with the owner providing excellent tips on restaurants, food shops, and places to visit.
The lodge was spotlessly clean, and the amenities were great, making our stay comfortable and relaxing. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Paihia!
