Very warm welcome, the one bedroom unit we rented was clean and comfortable the kitchen unit was well equiped and few minutes walk to the centre of Paihia and harbour. There was a slight noise from the rear of the building in the evening but could not be heard in the room.

Comfortable, clean rooms which are better on the inside than you would expect from the outside. Well priced and friendly owners. Walking distance from town centre.

Lovely cool room with breezes, quite spacious and clean. My only complaint would be the common balcony...needs some privacy! And any noisy guests out on balcony at night is a problem...but nice other than that

We stayed 4 nights at this motel, which is just around the corner from the Bay itself.This was a huge place with a separate kitchen area, lounge, bedroom and 4 beds all for an exceptionally reasonable price.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the Alfa Boutique Motel. The rooms were very spacious - the hotel's website does not do this hotel justice. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms clean. The owners were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Paihia!

a bit dubious after reading about the smell review but realised it was the fijian creeper on the balcony. Lovely friendly couple - nothing too much trouble. Very comfy bed and great shower.
