When we arrived at the motel I read a previous review in June which confirmed my thoughts of the motel. The manager told me that there was no social housing people in the motel, but only workers. However, I believe they are working people living there on social housing!. There are empty units , but they are not prepared for tourists. The unit was unserviced, and when I complained the manage said she was not permitted to enter in my absence!. Probably applied to people with illicit ***** and stolen property that social housing people have.The TV didn’t function. We were offered another unit, but I didn’t want to move among her clientele downstairs. We only stayed there because of the heated pool. It is generally undesirable.

We booked 6 rooms and i asked the owner if they were providing long term accommodation for social housing as we had been warned that motels were doing this in Paihia. I explained that i had a bad experience in Tauranga and would not be placed in a similar situation again. The owner said that she definitely didnt provide social housing. We duly arrived and immediately noticed old cars in the courtyard so asked owner again if she was providing social housing. Again she plausibly denied it so we registered. For four nights we put up with parties, revving cars, blown engines with used oil over entrance and on it went. The place was a nightmare. Other guests arrived and left in early hours because of the loud music and parties. We have stayed at this motel on two other occasions with the previous owner and the stay was fantastic.The new owner was a liar and the stay disgusting. We will never stay at Edelweiss again nor will we recommend it to other tour groups we are associated with.

Do not stay here. Me and my family stayed here during winter in year 2024 and booked because of the spa and heated pool. Pool had a dead hedgehog in it. Spa had floating white strings in it. It was gross. The rooms smell damp and furniture is very outdated. The bathroom was tidy. Linen was clean. (I checked in on my own). Front desk asked unprofessional questions like whats my snapchat and phone number, who am I staying with. And when I refused to answer the man at the front desk said “I just want to chat more”. So unprofessional.

I called into this establishment late at night as a solo and was given a large room for a small room price. I stayed for 3 nights . The room was clean, spacious, well priced for area. The only negative was a threat of a $50 cost if one didn't do their dishes on leaving. I thought this threat was unnecessary especially as the room had limited service during the stay

This is the worst motel we have ever experienced. It smelt terrible. Carpets and floors felt dirty.There were less than minimal amenities in the kitchen. We were downstairs from manager and the noise from upstairs was unacceptable. On the positive side sheets on bed looked and felt clean and beds were comfortable. Internet was reliable.
