We booked 4 rooms at this place,what a rip off,we paid much more than the rates advertised and the rooms downstairs (studio ones) is an old designed room,half of the things falling off,like windows,wires etc.$5 heater is in the room which works when it wants.The water stops when it wants as well and if you need to hang your clothes...

Great location for touring, really helpful and friendly staff, cleaned daily, pool is a bit small but refreshing, altogether an enjoyable experience. Town itself is quite charming, good choice of restuarants and pubs. More

We (older couple) booked thru the always helpful i-site system and were very happy with the result. Our downstairs motel-room was large and had all the amenities includung wi-fi internet. Cooking facilities were not just tea and coffee making, so that if you were inclined you could self-cater your whole holiday. At around NZ$100.- the value for money was fine... More

We booked the Edelweiss through the I-site in Auckland, originally we were supposed to have a studio unit but on arrival we were given the choice of another unit with a downstairs bedroom which was much bigger and much more suitable. The unit was adequately furnished and clean with plenty of space. We used the pool and hot tub -... More

We got one of the larger rooms available and were quite happy with it, the only real lacking thing for me was the tv channels and lack of sky tv (Only can watch 1 channel).

Having researched many of Paihia's motels to find a regular stopover point I've been using the Edelweiss for about 3 months. When one considers the prices demanded by some of Paihia's motels the Edelweiss presents great value for money. I've found the rooms to be spotless every time I've stayed with about eveything you could need for a short stay,... More

We booked through lastminute.com a good 2 months ahead for a double room . When we arrived we were told sorry you have single beds and some excuse for the price we paid on the booking which was $120 a night! Not that cheap really. The room smelt of those toilet tablets they use in schools although it was clean... More

Great bed, maintained very well, nice people, handy for everything but just off the beaten track, only fault really is the lack of interesting TV channels (an oxymoron?) but otherwise all you need. And real coffee for the plunger! 100 points! More
