I have stayed at the Bayview Motel many times and thought it was about time I let others know about it. It is in the perfect location if you are staying in Paihia, it is within easy walking distance to the shops, cafes and restaurants, also the wharf where you can catch the ferry to Russell or take a Hole...

Great Location, had a partial sea view from the little balcony. Good spacious apartment which could have slept 4. Bathroom and kitchen facilities were good and clean. Didn't see the Spa room so cannot comment. Good value for money, would stay again.

Four of us had the two front apartments which had brilliant views and right on the beachfront and a short walk to everything. I was amazed at the low tariff considering the location and it is mainly because the apartments haven't been touched in decades but still have that old charm. The kitchenette was good and we had loads of... More

Great location to the shops,restaurants and beach. Rooms are old but clean.It could be really nice if we stay in seafront room. We stayed 3bed rooms apartment.No view at all and Kids were looking forward to the Spa(i thought it is out side spa somehow....)but bit disappointed.It was really dank and smell like a old gold fish tank.

This is a great motel to relax and explore the beauty of the Bay of Islands. We received a very friendly welcome and had a great spacious apartment complete with generous balcony. Couldn't ask for more and would highly recommend this motel.

The unit was clean, comfortable and well-equipped, especially the kitchen. The toilet/shower-room was fairly small but entirely functional. This motel is in an excellent location only a minute from the wharf and ferry / boat trip services and... More

Despite being promised 4 months earlier (both by phone and email) that our stay would be in an apartment with walk in shower, this was not available for our 4 night stay. Apartment was comfortable enough but curtain in bedroom needs to be replaced by one with sun block - it was very thin and when on holidays I don't... More

Although our unit at the Bayview Motel was like taking a step back in time to the 70s (or is it 60s?) it was spacious, comfortable and suitable for our one night stay. We stayed in the three bedroom unit, which does not have bay views but as the weather was grey and wet this was not an issue. We... More

The place was claen and tidy the bed was ok but I found the sheets itchy, but my said they were ok ( it may heve been the electric blanket? not sure). The shower was ok but not great. the cooking area was nice stainless steel area so you could see it was clean and the fasilities were good. cafeteria... More
