Breakfast is very simple, can be used for extra beds, suitable for children, parking, at the beach, especially quiet Russell Island, very good ferry is also very convenient!
The bathroom and room is tidy, but in-terms of cleanliness should have more room of improvements, as we still found some dust on the bed and in the bathroom as well. But since it's a backpacker style hostel, couldn't be much picky bout the hostel itself.
Kitchen amenities is great, and I love the common area there.
Definitely a go to if you have budget concerns!
I had a lovely lady at the front desk when I checked in. Professional & polite even with my late evening check-in. Room was great - clean tidy & well presented! I enjoy my status at The Sands, thank you!
A suberb location close to everything and perfect views out over the bay .
The size of the suite was spacious and also offered cooking facilities.
A few broken things so I think maintenance could be improved, and we didn’t get offered under cover parking which I assumed was for the junior suites.
The swimming pool was nice .
Love convenience location but when you booked in app you will got old Building. Like a small kitchen in the room. Tiny Dishwasher was surprised me. Smart tv box is excellent for my Entertainment. Only problem was hot water temperature when showering. It's hard to control stable warm. Too hot and too cold. The towels supposed to change after second day stay that notice in the bathroom but it changed on fourth day of six days.
I didn't know what to expect when I booked this establishment. It looked OK though I thought I might find it a bit further from the main Paihia town than I liked, but it turned out that I really enjoyed the walk to and from the town. We've booked ourselves in the cruise to Hole in the Rock the next day and talking to the helpful staff, we booked the spa followed by dinner at The Glass House on that day and we really enjoyed our day. The massage and facial was really relaxing, and the dinner was superb. On top of that, I love the room we had which was just by the pool. We are able to enjoy the hot tub which was really relaxing too. Everything was just fantastic. Overall the hotel was just a joy to stay in and I was glad I booked 3 nights.
We spent 2 nights recently and found everything to be excellent. The room and location was beyond our expectations.
We had room service and breakfast in the restaurant. The food was excellent. A truly enjoyable experience.
Great place to stay. A little drive from the beach but it is nice and quiet and comfortable enough. Ensure to bring blankets or pay the bedding!
Very Good

AAnonymous UserWe had a wonderful stay at Sunlit Bay Villas in Taipa. The space is great, very comfortable to stay in, and the location is excellen. The villas were spacious, clean, and very well equipped.
The internet connection is a bit weak, but if this is not a major issue for you, it does not affect the overall experience.
Overall, we highly recommend Sunlit Bay Villas to families and groups of friends, especially as a stop when travelling to Cape Reinga.

GGuest UserStaff were super friendly. It was a good price for good accommodation, within walking distance from the beach, restaurants etc. Small things could have earned a full 5 star rating such as extra pillows as ours were a bit flat, having more toilet paper as 3 rolls single ply for 4 people on a 5 day trip didn’t cut it, but overall a good experience. The laundry was a bit dated so we ended up using the laundromat down the road, and we had no idea where the gym or restaurant was which would have been nice to have been informed of when we checked in.
AAnonymous UserA good place to break one's journey from Paihia via opinoni and waipoura forests back to Auckland. Dargaville is a small town with several Asian restaurants (recommend Suphan Thai in town) and a Woolworth's. This motel is located in the suburbs - a quiet and peaceful area away from traffic. Was surprised that the unit came with a kitchen (stove, fridge microwave oven) even though the room description only mentioned a LCD TV. WiFi was functional but slower than other places. Bedding was good. We couldn't find a hairdryer in the room.
MMyrkStyrStayed for 2 nights with wife and 8 year old son. The staff was super kind and welcoming. Our suite had amazing wraparound views of the bay. Parking spot was free and right next to our suite. WiFi was a bit spotty. Comfy bed. Walk to the beach was 10 min. Wonderful cafe in 2-3 min walk. The town was beautiful as well. Short drive north to the hot water beach was fun. I really liked this place. We made sure to clean up and do our dishes as note said extra fee if you left dirty dishes. Would highly recommend.
Ssamuel eelExtended my stay again since my work delayed. But was also due to it being a plesant stay here !!
The owner of this place was very friendly. was a plesant stay here. Theres peace and quite here at night, maybe part of the keri keri specialty.
Enjoyed my stay here with the pool and laundry service provided (chargeable) but convenient to still have.
Room was impressive and spacious with good equipment provided and items needed.
Bed was really comfy as well.... will surely be back again !!!
AAnonymous UserLovely villas sitting up a hill with stunning and unparalleled views of the Pacific Ocean in the quaint Cable Bay, which is one of a few towns that make up Doubtless Bay. A great place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and just relax and chill while listening to the sound of the waves. If you book the one- or two-bedroom units, you’ll have access to a living area, kitchen and laundry facilities. Our family really loved our stay! Highly recommended to all!
