For what we paid should not have expected much more
Staff were approachable
We never read or understood what Lodge was and this was not what we wanted, or intended. Not their fault

Misleading advertising!
Room/s shown on website were certainly not what we got & paid for.
No hot water in shower & bathroom floor completely wet from shower making it an extreme safety issue.

Questions about Riverside Lodge Paihia

What time is check-in and check-out at Riverside Lodge Paihia?

Check-in is from 2:30 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Riverside Lodge Paihia have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Riverside Lodge Paihia have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Riverside Lodge Paihia?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
