Anchorage Motel

It gets booked up and I can understand why - we wanted a smaller room but could only get a family room We arrived well before check in time but our room was ready and we were treated by a smiling member of staff and showed our room . The room is fully equipped and spotlessly clean . It is close to the road and you do get some road noise but not so much at night . But it shows the level of thought as there are ear plugs in the bedside cupboards . We didn’t need them . Pool,nice size for a relaxing swim after swim in the sea just across the road - it’s a great location

The property and room were excellent. The only problem is people blasting music across in the park until 11pm every night. Not the property fault but an issue

Lovely comfortable hotel at the beach, near the centre. Very clean rooms. Lovely sea views and relaxed vibe.

This property is conveniently located across the beach and walking distance to many restaurants and stores. The kayak rental is across the street too. We had access to their laundry facility. The place is newly renovated. Comfortable beds, great shower and there was everything we needed in the kitchenette. Highly recommend this hotel!

Extremely convenient, easy walk to anywhere in Paihia or over to Waitangi, fantastic pool and spa, with a beautiful lookout and a lovely beach across the road. Listening to the waves crashing at night adds to the relaxation. Love it and we'll be back.

It was our first visit to Bay of Islands and we had a most enjoyable stay at the Anchorage. Our unit on ground floor was spotlessly clean and spacious with all amenities that we needed. The manager and staff were friendly and helpful. It is in an ideal location across the road from the ocean and with only a short stroll to the main area of Paihai. We would highly recommend the Anchorage.

We stayed in an upper level studio unit which had all the facilities needed for a comfy 3 night stay. Large shower with good water pressure, comfortable bed in a freshly renovated and clean room. Handy location to the beach, quay and the town centre. Ample on site parking. A kitchenette, sky TV, a great sea view, pool and hot tub. Hosts and housekeeping were very helpful and friendly. Just a little traffic noise as on the main road through town. Would definitely recommend this motel.

Good location and very clean & tidy but on a main road so noisy and not double glazed. Little privacy from other guests including those in adjoining units.
