This place is truly a hidden gem in Kaikohe. In a town not widely known for its accommodation options, this property genuinely pushes boundaries, creating local employment, contributing to the town’s revival, and setting a new benchmark for hospitality in the area. The building itself is a stunning 115-year-old masterpiece, designed in classic New Zealand neo-classical style. The hosts have gone to remarkable lengths to preserve its historic charm while seamlessly incorporating modern comforts. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the beds and showers to the taps, teapots, and furniture, all reflecting an authentic early-1900s look and feel without sacrificing convenience or comfort. It is a rare and beautifully executed blend of history and modern living. The manager was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and supportive, which made the experience even more memorable. This stay far exceeded our expectations, and we truly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates heritage, character, and the chance to experience what a classic stay in the early 1900s might have felt like, elevated to modern standards.

The hotel is very close to the ocean, so I could watch the sun rise every morning. Also, Pubs and Restaurants are very close, serving the most delicious breakfasts and Dinners. The Garden of the Hotel was a great, beautiful surprise to me. Birds singing was part of that paradise experience.

We had a great time in Bay of Island Beachhouses. The apartment is very modern and fully equipped with everything you need during your holiday: it has a great, comfy double bed, super and very clean bathroom with separate toilet and a fantastic terrace with a stunning view to the bay. The closest beach is approx. 5 min walk, Paihia center is a bit longer walk but still manageable without car. Theo, the host was very kind and helpful from the minute we got there.

We loved our stay in Paihia Dilphin Motel. The motel is within walking distance of the center of the town, but in a quiet area. The apartment was clean and tidy, the kitchen is well equipped. The bathroom had a toweldryer, which was a plus. A lot of birds live in the area, it was nice to wake up to birdsong in the morning.

Kaitaia for me is like the gateway to Cape Reinga & the other places to visit in the Far North. We stayed for 2 nights, used it as a base, travelled up to the Cape & back. Then travelled towards Dargaville & home to the Waikato via the majestic Tane Mahuta.

I love everything about Russell.

I love everything about Russell. It is such an iconic place, full of history. I actually met a lady walking along the beach whose forebearers had built the The Duke of Malborough. The shops have so many wonderful things to offer and the people so friendly and helpful. Apart from The Duke of Malborough which always sets the highest standard in their restaurant which produces incredible food, I must mention Hone’s Garden. The pizzas are outstanding and mixed with a craft beer and friendly staff it’s not hard to see why it is always our first port of call. They have managed to create a laid back, island vibe surrounded by tropical plants. Just in front of Hone’s is The Gables, a fabulous Italian Restaurant. The Lamb Ragu with home made pasta again is exceptional. You would go along way to find three amazing places all within walking distance with views to die for. In terms of boat trips, we can heartily recommend The Hole in the Rock. Our last two lots of visitors thoroughly enjoyed this experience and the added bonus of seeing dolphins and a shark. Just remember to wear something warm as can be a bit cold depending on the weather. Well worth it though!

Underated quality of fish and chips at Mangonui Fish Takeaways overcooked and exorbitant prices plus New Year surcharge didn't help one bit. Hotel fish and chips great, if not better. Easy travels to Taipa and beach area. Great entertainment at the hotel. Main stores caters for practically anything. Simply lovely place just to relax and enjoy others company.
