Ala Moana Motel

Last motel to centre, 1 min walk to take ferry crossing to Russell

Host was very friendly.. room was perfect. Higly recommended

A lovely place with a great view of the bay! Can feel a little bit exposed, the lacy blinds are a little bit too see through. Would also be really nice if there were hooks by the door to hang coats etc. Great location, walking distance to all the tourist things!

The property matched photos. Older unit but clean, tidy with fantastic views and perfect location.

We stayed in an ocean view unit at the front of the property and for the price it was fantastic. Short walk to restaurants and shops. Our room was small, but clean. There are larger rooms, but we intentionally chose room 7, I think, for more privacy than the other units. The furnishings and room in general has “tired” decor so if you’re looking for modern and updated this isn’t for you. If you’re looking for a great stay on a budget this should fit your needs and price point.

So happy with our choice of the smaller Waterfront option at Ala Moana Motel. We didnt need loads of space as we were on tours both days and pur Unit 8 was superclean, well positioned and comfortable. Older style bathroom but all that we needed. John our host was welcoming and helpful. Glad to find a guest laundry when we are on longer road trips. 2 mins walk from the Isite and tour offices, Restaurants and the town. Totally recommend Ala Moana. Free parking too

Fabulous location near wharf & shops. Friendly staff. Great Laundry. Quaint gardens & pond. Easy parking.

Helpful staff and the location of the property was great.

Staying at Ala Moana Motel was not only convenient it was comfortable and secure. The staff were welcoming and happy to have a chat! Everything was in arms reach due to such a great location, and I was able to walk everywhere. It was a spacious room, with great facilities and a comfortable bed!

Gutes Motel sauber und mit ausreichender Ausstattung. Die Lage ist super, alles gut zu Fuß zu erreichen.

Great location. Friendly, helpful staff. Large comfortable room.

Host was awesome and lovely, location is amazing and right in the middle of everything in Paihia. The motel itself is a little older but honestly nothing to fuss about with the service/cleanliness and location.

Excellent budget accommodation. Right opposite the beach. Rooms small.

Proximity to sea and seaview. Nextdoor to good restaurant. Easily able to walk to Paihia. Friendly welcome

Owner was happy to organise our outings for us after we discussed what the best options were.

An older style property, but lovely & clean with comfortable bed & pillows. Everything needed anticipated & provided.

Just an over night in Paihia. Check in was great and rooms were clean and bright. Would certainly recommend.

Great place, great location, great owner/ manager. Would stay here again with pleasure

Unit was spacious, great kitchenette, comfortable bed. Fantastic views over the water right in front of unit.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience and would recommend staying here to anyone! The combination of location, great room, and old fashioned hospitality were perfect for us. We truly felt right at home. The owner John is a proper NZ gentleman and was so very nice. We walked to everything and watched fireworks right across from the beach. Pretty amazing all around. Laundry, location, and thoughtfully run. We loved our stay. Next to everything. Great for my family. Would have stayed longer if I had known how it would be.
