Breakwater Motel  

On Paihia’s central waterfront, a short flat walk to Paihia Wharf and the beach — perfect for Bay of Islands adventures. It’s about a 5-minute stroll to Paihia Wharf, 6 minutes to Paihia Beach and roughly 1.5 miles (2.3 km) from the Waitangi Treaty Grounds.

This compact, self-contained waterfront motel offers 25 individually decorated rooms and suites, from Waterfront Suites with private balconies to Seaview Suites with partial sea views. Rooms come with refrigerators, microwaves, flat-screen TVs (Sky/ satellite and DVD in some), aircon/heating, complimentary Wi‑Fi and daily housekeeping — all set for easy seaside stays.

Take in waterfront garden and terrace views, soak in a spa tub, or fire up the barbecue in the picnic area. Tour and ticket assistance helps plan boat trips from the nearby wharf, free self-parking is onsite, and laundry facilities keep longer stays simple — expect sea-breeze mornings and easy access to bayside fun.

A small business center complements practical touches like luggage storage, express check-out and phones with free local calls. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected, and a roundtrip airport shuttle is available on request (surcharge may apply).

Continental breakfasts are available daily for a fee, and the motel is only minutes from cafes, restaurants and the Paihia Wharf where tours depart — plus an on-site restaurant for quick bites before you head out.
