Scenic Hotel Bay of Islands  

On the waterfront in Paihia, a short stroll from the Bay of Islands and Paihia Beach. Minutes from Paihia Wharf and the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, this family-friendly beach hotel is a smart base for exploring the Northland coast.

Island‑influenced architecture and lush sub-tropical gardens set a relaxed tone. The 114 air‑conditioned rooms are light and airy with neutral, earthy tones, fridges/minibars, private bathrooms with showers, satellite TV, safes and desks — simple comforts with a seaside vibe. Wake to sea‑breeze mornings and unwind by water features after a day of bush and beach walks.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, stretch out on the terrace or picnic in the gardens. The hotel also offers a playroom for kids, concierge and tour desk services, laundry and luggage storage, free on‑site self parking, and a roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

A business centre with complimentary wired and wireless internet supports remote work. Event facilities include about 194 sq ft of conference space and two meeting rooms, plus easy parking for delegates.

An on‑site licensed restaurant and lounge bar serve relaxed meals and drinks, with buffet/full breakfasts available for a fee on weekdays and weekends. 24‑hour room service is also offered for late arrivals or night‑owl appetites.
