Cannot understand good reviews, property is in need of serious maintenance both inside and out. Noise late at night and early morning as we were next to office, room lacked shelving in wardrobe, no mirror in bedroom, and had to ask for soap as none in bathroom. Fans dirty and rusty, cobwebs on walls and just absolute shock when you open the door, do not stay here... I have photos of all of the above.

Need net curtains for additional privacy as the balcony is a shared walkway and not all the lights were working. The place is very convenient to town and beach. Discounts at reception is great too. We enjoyed our stay and will booked with them again.

Overall, this was a great place to stay. Location is terrific. Bed was comfortable. Loved having outdoor space (shared but still really nice to have). Having a kitchenette. Was great. Also big shoutout to the manager for being so kind as to allow a late checkout. Only downfalls: expensive laundry and the need to clean things like the ceiling fans and the skylight. But overall, I would recommend

Gentlemen at reception (named Bob) was friendly and approachable. He was very knowledgeable of the area and gave us great suggestions for activities and food options in Paihia. The bounty is very centrally located and easy walk to attractions,eateries and shops. The motel it self is very tired and needs a fair bit of TLC

All staff really friendly & helpful. Room very spacious. Due to no powerpoints in bathroom, a mirror in the bedroom/living area would be good.

Enjoyed our stay at The Bounty. Close to everything and the price is great. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suites which were a great size. Disappointed that one suite had air conditioning heating and the downstairs suite only had a heater.
