Our room in Admiral's Lodge had fantastic views from our shared balcony. Reasonably priced, it is centrally located in Paihia, with comfy beds, spa baths, nice toiletries and free use of bathrobes. There are also laundry facilities and a Wi-Fi cafe on site. The receptionist was very friendly, and we appreciated the quiet and clean surroundings. More
