Cook's Lookout, Paihia

We arrived at this motel in November and found it did not meet our expectations at all. We were disappointed with a number of things about the motel: cleanliness, offensive mock-up/statue, and atmosphere. The motel rate is on the expensive end for the district and nicer rooms can certainly be found at cheaper rates. Without going into further detail, and to avoid disappointment as we experienced, we'd like suggest that any potential visitors go and see the motel first before making any bookings as you wont get any money back if you prebook!
