Was the perfect place to stay while in Paihia. Just a short walk up the hill from the main dock where Fuller's boat tours launch. Place had a nice deck to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine and look out over town and water and listen to the birdsong from the hills behind you. Bed was very comfortable, wifi good, and Hostess Marilyn was very welcoming. Guests had access to a washing machine and clothes that was super convenient. They also had an elevator to haul the luggage up the 1 flight from driveway to accommodation units. If you are coffee drinker like us, bring ground coffee as unit has a press pot to make coffee.

Offering quality accommodation, this 4.5-star property is nestled between Paihia and Waitangi on Te Ti Bay. Gateway Motel & Apartments offers a range of accommodation suitable for small groups, corporate travellers, team building and wedding parties. Location is a little out of town but only about a short walk away. It is in a sunny spot, but there is some road noise as it's near a junction although most of the time this isn't an issue. It's about a 5 min or less walk to the beach and about a 15 min walk/short drive to the Treaty Grounds or similar in opposite direction to town. Owners were very friendly and knowledgeable about places to visit in the area. Very spacious room Great shower Loads of kitchen equipment if needed
