Provider-sourced guest reviews.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The units are nicely furnished and very spacious.
Friendly staff, safe location
Excellent service. Rooms were stunning with lovely touches. Will definitely be back.
Perfect place to stay. Well equipped for a small kitchenette with all necessary amenities. Clean, comfortable, well decorated and very lovely helpful staff. The morning coffee is a lovely bonus. Would highly recommend.
There was a good view and good cooking equipment. Staff helpful and friendly
Good location not to far from centreceasy walk, plenty of aft
The room was spacious, clean and beautiful, staff very friendly. Easy walking distance to restaurants and attractions. Will definitely visit again.
Fantastic room, bed, stay
A few minutes walk to shops, restaurants, ferry wharf to Russell and surrounds. Staff were great as same as ower, great little coffee van on site, for a coffe on the run, as you walk to the ferry ⛴️.
This property was walking distance (10-15min) to the main town centre and eateries while being away from the hustle and bustle that comes with most town centres. The staff of the property, Angela, Stacey and Keri, were extremely friendly and welcoming, without being too forward. They were happy to guide us with good recommendations, and assisted us with booking some of the tours we were looking to do. In short, this was a great find and we'll return to Admiral's View Lodge with friends and family soon.
Absolutely wonderful stay !!
Excellent accommodation for the night.👍
Very impressed with the facility and staff !!
They have free use of cruiser bikes to explore town and we also took them to Russel for a day. Fresh coffee in the morning and use of the pool and yard games next door! Very friendly and helpful staff as well.
A tidy quiet motel handy to town and restaurants. Would stay again.
We arrived late . Management left instructions for us to access our room which was lovely. Comfy beds & beautiful shower. Only stayed 1 night but would highly recommend for room & location.
The suite we stayed in had been completely upgraded. We were told all suite will soon be done. Great location 2 blocks off the main road. Very quiet. Staff were fantastic. We arrived early due to flights. They couldn’t have been more accommodating.
A great place to stay. Very convenient to everything. Loved the place.
This property is very clean and comfortable living in. The staff/owner is very friendly and made you welcomed.
Fantastic stay. Lovely hotel with fantastic owners and staff. Great location and we really loved Paihia
We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend.
Pleasant ambience, welcoming owner, quiet night. Restaurants and cafes and beach at short walking distance.
Fab family place
Really nice well kept property, lovely warm room with everything we needed. Walked to dinner and the water front. Spotlessly clean, will stay again
Staff were amazing
A great couple of days in the two bedroom unit. Comfy beds, well setup kitchen in an easy location.
Nice clean facilities and friendly
Really nice large room with a good view of the bay. Staff friendly and helpful. Easy walk into town
Great place for an overnight stay. Clean and quiet, and had everything we needed.
From the lovely welcome from Kerry to the comfort, size and cleanliness of the room, the stay was excellent. The weather was very cool at night and the electric blankets were wonderful! Small kitchenette, good shower, thoroughly recommend.
Nice location, friendly team
This properly enjoys excellent ratings which are well deserved.
This was a great hotel. The room was large, it was well equipped with everything from pots and pans to a small stove and microwave and fridge. The room was clean and the staff was very helpful. There is also an easy to use laundry area. My only complaint was the internet. It was really SLOOOOOW. I'm a digital nomad, so this is important to me and I measure things like speed. When I arrived, it was running about 4-5 Mbps,acceptable, probably not fast enough for streaming but good enough for email By evening, it has degraded to .1 Mbps, making web use next to impossible and even email or using spotify painfully slow. Time to upgrade to more bandwidth. I'm in a motel in the northland in the middle of nowhere with speeds of 30-40 Mbps, so I know it is possible. Other than that quibble, important to me but perhaps not to most people, it was a great stay. I would recommend it as long as you don't have a Zoom meeting or need to send multimedia files.
Wonderful friendly service from Penny the owner and from Keri who was on reception when we arrived. The room was wonderful very spacious , clean and very comfortable beds.
Quiet, staff friendly and helpful. Room spacious, furniture a bit tied but wasn’t there long enough for any impact
3 night booked with a garden view, The room was good although we did have a small problem which I took up with the owner and offered to pay to upgrade. She obligingly moved us upstairs for two nights and the room was so much better and she did not charge me anything. Very friendly staff and owner. Easy access to the beach and pier.
Our room was spacious and clean, with a very large bed. The lady on reception was helpful with lots of advice for trips and restaurants. An easy 10 minute stroll to the centre of Paihia.
Had a peak a view of the ocean and the cruise ship. Would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful unit with friendly staff and a good selection of CATV channels Within walking distance of most restaurants but further away than many other hotels
Have stayed here 3 times on short breaks to Paihia . Consistently good . Comfy beds , clean , nice outlook , quiet , friendly . Recommend
We were greeted warmly, Penny the owner drove us to pick up some groceries which we really appreciated. We like to sleep in and if we did not leave the room by 10, no one came to make it up later. The room was spacious and comfortable. Location was an easy walk to town. We found the pool not ideal. There was no railing to hold for stairs and steps were deep so challenging to get in and out. We very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend this accommodation.
We were lucky to be upgraded to a more spacious room. Nice balcony although not private. Good facilities, good size shower. Lovely comfortable chairs to relax.
My stars! Our experience exceeded our highest expectations. We anticipated a late check in and Admiral's View Lodge emailed very clear instructions. The well-appointed room was a welcome relief after a long drive from Auckland: very comfortable bed, clean bathroom and well-stocked mini-kitchen. We had a full day planned and woke up well rested. The beach and restaurants are all within a short walk. We highly recommend the Admiral's View Lodge for anyone. The icing on the cake came when I inadvertently left a package in the closet - within hours I received notice from the staff and they facilitated shipping back to me. What a relief!
Quiet location, comfortable bed, staff were very helpful.
Very friendly, nice and quiet
beautiful view from hill overlooking town. short walk to city center and dining.
Lovely premises with really friendly staff, location was ideal
Very clean and quiet.
Loved our stay here
Nice stay within budget. Very clean room, a bit tired but clean. 10-min walk to Main Street and ferry pier. Very friendly staff who gave good suggestions for places to dine in.
Lovely staff!
Friendly and helpful. Clean and cosy room. Will stay again. Good facilities.
Stayed for a night only and wish could have stayed for longer. Very clean and spacious room. Lovely and friendly host.
From the moment you arrive you feel welcome and the rooms are serviced daily. So handy to to the beach front, shops, restaurants, 7 daily grocery and dairy plus liquor store. the staff serving your room take pride in their work so if its a clean, comfortable and well appointed room this is the place to stay.
Great to walk into town
Given apartment with great views. King bed, seating area, kitchen and dining area, large bathroom with shower and jacuzzi bath. Couldn’t have asked for anything better.
Very helpful and friendly folks run this hotel. Balcony Studio room was comfortable but no view.
Great quiet place
We were very well looked after and will recommend to our friends.
Was a lovely place to stay nice and clean and modern, had everything I needed.
Friendly, comfortable,clean, we couldn’t think of anything we didn’t like. Will definitely be back
Great place to stay when in the area. This Lodge is in a nice quiet area of town but only a short walk into the restaurant area. Lovely hosts.. friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and has everything anybody needs, would recommend.
Great place to stay
Booked this accommodation quite last minute due to a cancellation. Upon arrival Penny was very helpful and the housekeeping staff were fantastic. My room was ready for an early check-in as requested. The double room was incredible. Very comfortable bed and huge bathroom. Plenty of parking and within walking distance of beach and restaurants.
Great comfortable unit.
Property is positioned up high with a lovely view over the bay and very quiet as it is off the main road. It is also within an easy 5 minute walk to the marina and restaurants. Highly recommend!!
Perfect location, just a short pleasant stroll along the beachfront to get to the town center. Clean, comfy, separate kitchenette area, spacious bathroom, outdoor sitting area, parking on site. You can also grab a bike or tennis racquets! Above all, Penny is the best host. You won’t find a kinder and more helpful person. Highly recommend this accommodation for a stay in Paihia! ,
We had a pleasant stay. The apartment was big and mostly clean (except for the dishes). They serviced the apartment every day, which was really lovely. The only thing that I didn't like, was the WiFi connection, that was horrible. If this is not a problem for you, this is an excellent place in an amazing location.
Close to town,walking, placec was quiet and spacious
Clean and comfortable
Lovely stay away. Everyone was very friendly, beautiful room with great views, clean and tidy and the spa bath was amazing. Would highly recommend and stay again. Thank you for accommodating us.
Good place to stay. Craig is excellent as host and very helpful. As we had a ferry at 2, I requested if i could check in bit early and he happily obliged.
Great place to stay. Owner was super helpful. Good sized rooms and good facilities.
Great place to stay. walking distance from town center. Very comfortable beds and friendly service

We really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was very spacious, comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed. We had a lovely view of the ocean from our balcony. Set in a quiet location and short walking distance to restaurants, shops, ferry. The owners were very friendly. We always stay here when we visit Paihia
The staff were excellent. We had some minor issues but we're attended to promptly.
Would recommend this lodge to others. Awesome staff and management
Great place
Very clean and tidy, great service, very quiet area, we enjoyed our stay
Spa room with sea view is a must. Excellent spa bath and really homey room. Not your usual sterile hotel type space. Has some lovely personality
Wonderful rooms, staff were awesome and genuine. Spa was amazing. Definitely staying again next time we’re in Paihia
Great service from the owners Craig and Penny, very helpful and welcoming, loved our stay, facilities were on point, walking distance to the shop, cafes and beach.
Cozy and tidy room with good condition. My family gonna visit next time:)
We had a great stay at the Admiral's view lodge. Well located, about a 10min walk to Paihia. The unit was clean with great amenities. Great parking and storage for our bikes. Owners were great. We will definitely be back.
What a fantastic place to stay! Such friendly hosts with rooms with everything you will need for your stay. Less than a 2 minute walk to the beach and central to lots of great places to eat and drink. Would highly recommend for family’s and couples to stay!
Handy to town. Nice and quiet. Good views over bay.
It was perfect stay. Excellent view to see the fireworks in new year eve. Staff great! Just some things in the kitchen was dirty and the sheets aren’t smell good. In the furniture we found 2 dead cockroaches. The rest was perfect! It has a big bath to relax and comfortable big bed! Recommend.
Nice and handy to shops, beach and restaurants. Very good facilties with big rooms.
Amazing place to stay especially with children.Great place for a family get away.
Very comfortable, clean, convenient. Useful local information provided by host.
Great service. amenable to our extra requests. Recommend
Spacious very comfortable clean apartment. Some of the parking is a bit tight and tricky.
A great place to stay with a lovely lady on reception. The sea view rooms are well worth paying for.
Great value, had a free upgrade. Quiet location and handy to everything. Highly recommended. We are quite fussy and found this hard to fault.
