Scenic Hotel Bay of Islands has a sub-tropical ambience, with island-influenced architecture, beautifully landscaped grounds and light airy rooms. Situated at the entrance to the seaside town of Paihia, it’s a pleasant stroll into town to access the main wharf, visitor activities, fine dining and shopping. Any time of year is ideal for escaping to the Bay of Islands in the ‘winterless north’, and this property is the perfect resort-style retreat. The only danger is you’ll like it so much you won’t want to leave!
