Support New Zealand Business: Book Directly and Save

Did you know that foreign-owned booking sites like Booking.com, Expedia, and Trivago can siphon up to $6 million a day out of New Zealand motel operators in commissions? These sites often charge up to 18% in fees, which means local, family-owned motels are paying a significant chunk of their earnings just to be listed on these automated platforms.

By booking directly through New Zealand motels, you help keep money in the local economy. Motel owners still face the same expenses—rates, taxes, maintenance, and staff—so every dollar spent through foreign booking sites is a dollar lost to New Zealand’s economy.

There are over 1,400 motels and campgrounds to choose from, and Paul's Motels is dedicated to changing that. Simply search for your preferred motel, use the direct dial to contact them, or click the email address to ask any questions.

Booking directly has numerous advantages:

• Guaranteed Reservations: Avoid the frustration of arriving at a new town only to find out your booking was lost.
• Local Expertise: Kiwi motel owners can offer personalized tips on dining, attractions, and any special needs for your stay.
