We (myself, my mum, and my girlfriend) came back to the same room after we all stayed there 2 years ago also. It's the only room with a good view out to the bay as it's up one level - not panoramic by any means but lovely to sit just outside the room in the chairs provided and relax with... More

I visted the Bay of Islands out of season in November 2009 and was made very welcome for my 2-night stay at Ala Moana. This was part of a 3 month trip through NZ, Oz and Indonesia so I experienced many different hotels during the trip. The owner-managers at Ala Moana were extremely helpful, booking local tours for me in... More

We recently spent six nights at the Ala-Moana Motel and our experience there was faultless. Our apartment was extremely spacious, immacutlately clean and fresh and fully serviced each day; soft white towels and crisp white sheets were just lovely. It was comfortable, quality, and nice to return to each day. Our hosts, Martin & Lynette were wonderful and nothing was... More

It was suggested by Corino Dolphin tours that I stay at this motel. I had purchased a room at Swiss Chalet but could save $50 over 2 nights if I switched to Ala-Mohana. The managers said it was across from where we would catch the boat, and I didnt want my mom to have to walk a long way. What... More

As owners of the property, we are upset that we were not given an opportunity to address these issues on site at the time. However, we would like to do so now that we have been made aware of them. Yes, we do have a bar & restaurant at the foot of our driveway most of the time this is... More

Spent 2 nights in March 2008 at the Ala-Moana and enjoyed it very much. I had the small studio at the front facing the water and road which has a small fish pond and garden which was just perfect for relaxing. The room had everything I needed including kitchen and huge sliding door looking out over the bay. My business... More

We stayed at Ala-Moana for just the one night - and both agreed that we wished we had allowed more time to stay in the area. We stayed in the little studio right at the front and we were able to sit out in the sun in the early evening drinking wine and chatting to the owner and passers by!... More

We spent 3 nights at the Ala-Moana Apartments on the esplandade at Pahia, the Bay of Islands. The owners were the most helpful people I have ever met. The Units were immaculately cleaned every day. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The location is about 100 metres from the wharf area where all of the trips to the Bay... More
