Ala Moana Motel  

On the waterfront in central Paihia, steps from Paihia Beach and Paihia Wharf in the Bay of Islands. Walk to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, cafes, shops and the wharf — the beach is literally at the gate. Perfect base for water-based excursions and fishing trips.

A compact motel with recently refurbished apartments and nine guestrooms. The place is non-smoking, clean, warm and comfortable. Rooms include refrigerators, microwaves, coffee/tea makers, flat-screen TVs, safes, hair dryers and irons, with daily housekeeping and views out to the garden or terrace.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet across the property. Rent bikes, relax in the garden or on the terrace, or fire up the barbecue in the picnic area. Concierge and tour/ticket assistance help book local trips. There’s a bar/lounge for drinks and 24-hour room service when you want to skip going out. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings with the beach steps away.

Free wired and Wi‑Fi, luggage storage, laundry facilities and a safe deposit box at the front desk. Free self parking on site and a helpful concierge/tour desk.

Grab a drink at the on-site bar/lounge or order 24-hour room service. Use the barbecue and picnic areas for casual meals. A short walk brings you to local cafes and good restaurants, plus fishing boats nearby for fresh-catch options.
