Ocean-Facing Rooms

Paihia Beach Resort & Spa offers 21 individually furnished rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Bay of Islands. Each room includes a 6ft en-suite spa bath, flat-screen TV with 50+ Sky Channels, unlimited WiFi, and air conditioning. Private patios or balconies provide ocean views. Some rooms feature kitchenettes, super king beds, and Dedon outdoor furniture on the pool deck.

Glasshouse Kitchen & Bar

The onsite Glasshouse Kitchen & Bar serves Middle Eastern, South Asian, and New Zealand dishes. The menu focuses on fresh, free-range ingredients in a sharing-style format. The restaurant is poolside, with alfresco dining and ocean views.

Leisure & Spa

Guests can use the saltwater swimming pool, warm plunge pools, and outdoor day beds. La Spa Naturale offers treatments using PURE FIJI products, including massages and facials. The spa is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Nearby Attractions

The hotel is 25 km from the Bay of Islands. Nearby landmarks include Waitangi Treaty Grounds (1.5 km), Paihia Wharf (0.5 km), and Coastal Kayakers (1.5 km). Activities include dolphin watching cruises, visits to Cape Reinga, and sandboarding on 90 Mile Beach.

Guest Services

The hotel provides high-speed WiFi, laptop-friendly workspaces, and keyless entry. Mini-bar charges are added to the final bill. Smoking in non-designated areas incurs a cleaning fee of NZD $500 to $1,000. Late check-out requires advance notice at the front desk.

“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.”
