This was a great hotel. The room was large, it was well equipped with everything from pots and pans to a small stove and microwave and fridge. The room was clean and the staff was very helpful. There is also an easy to use laundry area. My only complaint was the internet. It was really SLOOOOOW. I'm a digital nomad, so this is important to me and I measure things like speed. When I arrived, it was running about 4-5 Mbps,acceptable, probably not fast enough for streaming but good enough for email By evening, it has degraded to .1 Mbps, making web use next to impossible and even email or using spotify painfully slow. Time to upgrade to more bandwidth. I'm in a motel in the northland in the middle of nowhere with speeds of 30-40 Mbps, so I know it is possible. Other than that quibble, important to me but perhaps not to most people, it was a great stay. I would recommend it as long as you don't have a Zoom meeting or need to send multimedia files.

We had a fabulous two day stay here. Angela and her delightful staff could not have been more helpful. We stayed in a gorgeous large and spotless room (thanks again for the upgrade!) with kitchen and bathroom, all perfectly and thoughtfully equipped. In addition, many wonderful things were offered, from free baristas morning coffee to bicycles, beach towels & umbrellas, pool and tennis court use. Highly recommended!

We were greeted warmly, Penny the owner drove us to pick up some groceries which we really appreciated. We like to sleep in and if we did not leave the room by 10, no one came to make it up later. The room was spacious and comfortable. Location was an easy walk to town. We found the pool not ideal. There was no railing to hold for stairs and steps were deep so challenging to get in and out. We very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend this accommodation.

Booked this accommodation quite last minute due to a cancellation. Upon arrival Penny was very helpful and the housekeeping staff were fantastic. My room was ready for an early check-in as requested. The double room was incredible. Very comfortable bed and huge bathroom. Plenty of parking and within walking distance of beach and restaurants.

Admirals View was wonderful - I originally booked to stay for one night and ended up staying for 3! Angela and her team were lovely and so helpful and welcoming :) The room was huge and spotless, and had a really well equipped kitchen area. In the reception they also have towels, hats and sunscreen for you to borrow if you're heading out and about. It's in a great location - less than 10 minute walk to the ferry pier. I would highly recommend Admirals View and would be glad to stay there again!

We had a great stay at this accommodation! The location is excellent, very central and within walking distance to everything. The owner was absolutely amazing, incredibly welcoming and helpful. They assisted us with a late check-in and gave us great tips and ideas for activities in the area. There were so many thoughtful touches, like complimentary milk for coffee and tea. The room was clean and cozy, and although we stayed for three nights, the bed was even made for us one day, such a nice surprise. One day, we returned from an excursion to find that the glasses we had planned to clean later had already been done, which was really above and beyond. We also received a free upgrade to a room with a balcony, due to some ongoing construction at the property, and we were shown the two rooms currently being renovated, they already look amazing and will be beautiful once finished. The area is calm and quiet, and the beds were super comfortable, we slept very well. The kitchen is small but fully equipped with everything you need for basic cooking: frying pan, pots, microwave, kettle, toaster, and more. All in all, it was a lovely stay, and we can definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming, well-located, and comfortable accommodation

My stars! Our experience exceeded our highest expectations. We anticipated a late check in and Admiral's View Lodge emailed very clear instructions. The well-appointed room was a welcome relief after a long drive from Auckland: very comfortable bed, clean bathroom and well-stocked mini-kitchen. We had a full day planned and woke up well rested. The beach and restaurants are all within a short walk. We highly recommend the Admiral's View Lodge for anyone. The icing on the cake came when I inadvertently left a package in the closet - within hours I received notice from the staff and they facilitated shipping back to me. What a relief!

This property was walking distance (10-15min) to the main town centre and eateries while being away from the hustle and bustle that comes with most town centres. The staff of the property, Angela, Stacey and Keri, were extremely friendly and welcoming, without being too forward. They were happy to guide us with good recommendations, and assisted us with booking some of the tours we were looking to do. In short, this was a great find and we'll return to Admiral's View Lodge with friends and family soon.

In the reception they also have towels, hats and sunscreen for you to borrow if you're heading out and about. It's in a great location - less than 10 minute walk to the ferry pier. I would highly recommend Admirals View and would be glad to stay there again!

Location
The setting is quiet yet walkable, typically about a 10–15 minute stroll to the beach, ferry pier and Paihia’s restaurants and shops. Guests like being away from the bustle while still close to everything.

This property was walking distance (10-15min) to the main town centre and eateries while being away from the hustle and bustle that comes with most town centres. The staff of the property, Angela, Stacey and Keri, were extremely friendly and welcoming, without being too forward. They were happy to guide us with good recommendations, and assisted us with booking some of the tours we were looking to do. In short, this was a great find and we'll return to Admiral's View Lodge with friends and family soon.

3 night booked with a garden view, The room was good although we did have a small problem which I took up with the owner and offered to pay to upgrade. She obligingly moved us upstairs for two nights and the room was so much better and she did not charge me anything. Very friendly staff and owner. Easy access to the beach and pier.

Dining
On site dining is limited; a few reviews mention complimentary morning coffee or a coffee van. Most guests rely on the short walk to nearby eateries.

We had a fabulous two day stay here. Angela and her delightful staff could not have been more helpful. We stayed in a gorgeous large and spotless room (thanks again for the upgrade!) with kitchen and bathroom, all perfectly and thoughtfully equipped. In addition, many wonderful things were offered, from free baristas morning coffee to bicycles, beach towels & umbrellas, pool and tennis court use. Highly recommended!

My stars! Our experience exceeded our highest expectations. We anticipated a late check in and Admiral's View Lodge emailed very clear instructions. The well-appointed room was a welcome relief after a long drive from Auckland: very comfortable bed, clean bathroom and well-stocked mini-kitchen. We had a full day planned and woke up well rested. The beach and restaurants are all within a short walk. We highly recommend the Admiral's View Lodge for anyone. The icing on the cake came when I inadvertently left a package in the closet - within hours I received notice from the staff and they facilitated shipping back to me. What a relief!

Booked this accommodation quite last minute due to a cancellation. Upon arrival Penny was very helpful and the housekeeping staff were fantastic. My room was ready for an early check-in as requested. The double room was incredible. Very comfortable bed and huge bathroom. Plenty of parking and within walking distance of beach and restaurants.

My daughter was contacted after checkout and wrongly accused of stealing body wash and shampoo. The way this situation was handled was completely unacceptable and upsetting for her. This was clearly a mistake on their part, yet instead of taking a moment to check the facts or handle the matter professionally and respectfully, they immediately jumped to accusing her of theft and demanding that she return the items or be charged for them. The tone and approach were rude, presumptuous, and entirely inappropriate. To then question her about why she had not informed staff there was no body wash/shampoo in the room is frankly ridiculous. We stayed for one night only and it was not our responsibility to monitor your room inventory or report missing toiletries that should have been checked by housekeeping before guests arrived. The complete lack of professionalism, basic courtesy, and concern for the upset this has caused does not even seem to be on their radar, just "sorry it was a misunderstanding"
