Edgewater Palms Apartments is located opposite Paihia's main beach and offers an infinity lap pool set amongst landscaped tropical grounds. Guests enjoy free unlimited WiFi.

All rooms at Edgewater Paihia have views toward the ocean. Each apartment includes a spacious kitchen, laundry facilities and an en suite bathroom with under-floor heating. I paid a bit more than I usually do for a room and I’m glad I did. The room was spacious, clean, had all the facilities we needed…and it was a great view of the water and some good people watching. The location was great, a short walk to everything and not far from Waitangi. The lady who greeted me at reception was lovely and helpful. Would stay here again.

Each room has a flat-screen TV. Some units include a seating area to relax in after a busy day. You will find a kettle in the room. Every room is fitted with a private bathroom. For your comfort, you will find free toiletries and a hairdryer. Free WiFi is available. So clean and well maintained. The kitchen is always a bonus when travelling with kids. The beds are better than 5 star hotels that I’ve stayed at so comfortable. I’m starting to find motels are becoming better than hotels. The pool was nice and clean and the staff are easy. Bill the owner is so accommodating and lovely.
