Horse Shoe Manor, hotel in Paihia

Welcome to Horse Shoe Manor, your ideal North Island retreat! Nestled conveniently at Highway 1’s junction, we’re just 20 minutes from Paihia, making us an excellent base for your explorations.

Large area with a great outdoors space. Definitely a great place to stay if you are visiting the bay of islands, which was one of my favorite places in New Zealand. We had one room with a lot of area, and another with very little area, so that was interesting.

    The hotel's location is excellent, nestled in a serene environment with a lush native garden that provides privacy and a sense of being close to nature. The ground-floor deluxe room is beautifully appointed and secluded, making it ideal for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The highlight of our experience was the buffet breakfast, which offered a wide variety of delicious options that truly enhanced our overall stay. Without this impressive breakfast spread, we would not hesitate to stay here again.
