"Loved what felt like a completely private balcony (you could sometimes hear your neighbors but you couldn't see a soul in a walk naked kind of way)."

Paihia Beach Resort & Spa Hotel
A landmark of refined contemporary opulence, the Paihia Beach Resort & Spa Hotel graces the sun-kissed shoreline of the Bay of Islands in Northland, New Zealand. As you step inside, the lobby reveals stunning floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, creating an immediate sense of serenity. The aesthetic is modern yet understated, showcasing local art that captures the spirit of the bay. The lobby's warm wooden finishes and tasteful decor signal the promise of relaxation and indulgence ahead. Ascend to the rooftop, where sweeping views of the azure waters and distant islands await; these vistas set the stage for a series of unique experiences, including the Glasshouse Restaurant. Here, the culinary team-led by the acclaimed Head Chef Chris Hagan-masterfully unites local produce with contemporary flavors in an alfresco dining format that's simply sublime. To unwind, consider a treatment from professionally trained beauty and massage therapists at the hotel's well-appointed spa, ensuring a day of rejuvenation amidst the splendor of this tropical landscape.
Explore the Local Area
The hotel's enviable location places you mere minutes from the vibrant Paihia Wharf and within easy reach of the iconic Waitangi Treaty Grounds. Just a short drive away lies the stunning Haruru Falls, a picturesque backdrop ideal for memorable moments. Thrilling excursions abound: embark on the 'Cream Trip' cruise for dolphin encounters or traverse the stunning 90 Mile Beach, where you can sandboard along majestic dunes. History buffs may take a full-day excursion to Cape Reinga, the northernmost point of New Zealand, guided by knowledgeable locals who can weave the rich tapestry of Maori culture into the experience. Exploring the nearby wineries-with their diverse offerings of Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Syrah, and unique varietals-adds another layer to your visit, further enhancing Northland's reputation as a premium wine region. The area is accessible via convenient transport links, with the closest airport being in Kerikeri, just a 30-minute drive away.

For those seeking added luxury, the hotel's upgraded room types offer even greater splendor. The spacious open-plan studios range from 380 sq. ft. to 600 sq. ft., featuring private balconies with breathtaking views of the bay. Enhanced suites renew your experience with expansive living and dining areas, fully-equipped kitchens, and private patios-perfect for entertaining.

“With its beachfront setting and views overlooking the Bay of Islands, the location is noteworthy; still, some aspects require attention, like addressing maintenance issues and refreshing common areas. The on-site Glasshouse Kitchen & Bar, helmed by an award-winning chef, adds a culinary highlight, and leisure facilities such as multiple pools and spa services are definite advantages for relaxation. While it holds promise, consistent upkeep would elevate the overall experience.”
