“Location certainly stands out here, situated mere steps from Te Tii Beach, making it ideal for exploring the Bay of Islands. The resort boasts recreational amenities like tennis courts and multiple pools, alongside a spa promising premium New Zealand product treatments. However, while the boutique style and modern guest rooms aim for luxury, reports of dated aesthetics and inconsistent maintenance raise concerns about upkeep.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Paihia Beach Resort & Spa Hotel is a great base for exploring the Bay of Islands, situated close to the beach and within a short walk of the ferry wharf, shops, and restaurants. Many guests enjoyed the spacious studios, some featuring terraces with spectacular views of the bay. There's also a lovely pool area with heated plunge pools to enjoy; the main pool has been reported as being too cold by some, but overall the facilities offer a relaxing getaway.
