In Russell, Hananui Lodge and Apartments sits 3.5 km from central Paihia. The apartment-style format is worth considering for guests who prefer that kind of independence.
Rayya Suites, Paihia sits 0.4 km from the centre of Paihia, so the location does much of the practical work. Suites are a defining part of the accommodation rather than a secondary room category.
The location of Arcadia Lodge Russell, 3.6 km from central Paihia, favours a wider look at the area. The setting gives guests a different perspective on Paihia.
The Duke Of Marlborough is based in Russell, at a distance of 3.6 km from the centre. It is most useful when the plans already include the surrounding area.
