Waterfront Accommodation in Paihia

Paihia is the jewel in the Bay of Islands crown and Ala-Moana Motel is the most centrally located motel on the main Paihia waterfront, with the romantic town of Russell directly across the bay. Ala-Moana is surrounded by an abundance of historical sites, walking tracks, cafes & good restuarants yet our accommodations are quiet & affordable.

Paihia bus depot & wharf, where all the water based excursions & the ferry to Russell departs, is just across the road. The village, with its shops, pharmacy, post office & supermarket is less than a 200m level stroll. Waitangi - our birth place, is a short walk or drive along the foreshore.

Remember those summer holidays of your youth? The beach cricket, burying dad, collecting shells? - the swimming & endless sunshine seemed to last forever. Ala-Moana Motel is Kiwi owned and Kiwi operated and harks back to those times with the beach at our gate, spacious, clean and well-supplied units, not just a room! The perfect base for your Bay of Islands experience.

Fully Refurbished Rooms

Spacious, contemporary, self-contained and self-catering 1-bedroom apartments and studio units with magnificent views of the bay, across to Russell. Your ideal Paihia waterfront accommodation.

Walk across the road to a sandy swimming beach, ferry terminal, cafes and shops.
