Edelweiss Motel

After a long day travelling up to the very top of New Zealand we were very excited to get to the Motel. We went during the quiet period, so it was lovely and quiet and felt like we had the place to ourselves. We jumped in the pool within minutes of being there and it was great! It was heated and seeing the stars above us was just magical. We then jumped into the jacuzzi which was even warmer, which really let us relax! The room itself was okay, enough space for our twin beds and the beds were comfy. We had heated blankets as well as a heater so we managed to get the room heated up quickly. Nice size Shower room/Toilet, with towels for us to use, as well as a small amount of shampoo and soap. They did provide a small carton of milk, and I accidentally left personals by the pool which they had collected and kept safe which I am very appreciative of. For the prices around Bay of Islands, I'm happy with the price as its cheap compared to others and you are less than a 10 minute walk to the ferry terminal to explore the place. I'd visit there again! Staff was also lovely as well. Very smiley - again appreciated after a long journey!

The staff are very pleasant and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The beds were soooo comfortable, including the pillows! We needed accommodation for a family group of 20. Our family were very happy with the facilities and the service provided. The awesome BBQ facilities and heated pool area was a huge plus. Very close to the main Paihia centre where we got yummy ice cream. We were spoiled for choice when it came to choosing a place to eat out and enjoy a cold brew...or two! Handy to everything. The Beaches are walking distance with lovely walkways. Great for sightseeing and relaxing walks along the beach. Edelweiss Motel provided the perfect environment for our family weekend. We will be back!

I had a wonderful stay at Edelweiss Motel, and I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, the service was impeccable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. A special thank you to Ashish and Ankur, who truly made my experience unforgettable. Ashish was incredibly warm and welcoming, always ready to help with any questions or concerns. His positive energy made me feel at home right away. Ankur was equally attentive, providing excellent service throughout my stay. The rooms were clean, spacious, and had all the amenities I needed for a relaxing getaway. The location is also perfect – close to local attractions but quiet enough for a peaceful retreat. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll feel genuinely cared for, Edelweiss Motel is the perfect choice! Thank you, Ashish and Ankur, for making my stay so memorable. I’ll definitely be back!

The heated pool &: spa was a highlight,as my mother has dementia & totally enjoyed the swim. She hasn't hopped in a pool for years. Other than than, Ashish was great. His hospitality & communication was fantastic. The room was perfect for our family & bathroom amenities were perfect, as well as able to use the washing machine & dryer for my mother's washing. Would definitely stay here again, with more family members. AAAA+++

The location of this motel was near the town centre and the beach. Everything you need especially if you need to walk to the jetty to take the ferry or tours is nearby too all within walking distance.
