Centabay was my favourite hostel that I stayed at in New Zealand!!! I loved the vibrant atmosphere, the lovely backpacker-staff and the wonderful manager who was always a joy to chat with. The prices are incredibly reasonable for a place in the middle of Paihia, and you can tell the manager isn't in it for the profit - she genuinely wants to help travellers have the best experience possible. The hot tub worked well and was always great to use. The hammocks and tropical garden are another bonus. I could go on and on!
Under new management from mid 2022 and just 262 feet from Paihia Beach, Peppertree Lodge & Backpackers features 3 tennis courts and a barbecue area with outdoor seating.

Great to take the hole in the rock boat trip. Very convenient to catch the boat and hope over to Russell for a day trip. Lovely meal and walk at the wineyard in Russell. Lovely time to visit Pahia when it is sunny. Beautiful to spend 4 to 7 days chilling with the perfect sunset and sunrise. The indian restaurant along the beach at pahia is very authentic. Highly recommend pahia roadtrip.

Paihia is a very good place to stay if you want to explore...
Paihia is a very good place to stay if you want to explore Northland. If you are driving, you can go on your own to the tip of the North Island in about 3 hours. You can drive over to the Kauri Forest on the west side in about 1.5 hours. You can get tours out of Paihia for the Bay of Islands, the Ninety Mile Beach/Cape Reinga, Waitangi Treaty Grounds (you can walk there, about 3 km), rent kayaks or paddle boards, get fishing charters, take a ferry to Russell (or drive there). We spent 5 nights there and could have stayed a few more days and done even more.

Paihia is such a beautiful part of New Zealand!
Paihia is such a beautiful part of New Zealand! As the gateway to the Bay of Islands, there is so much to see and do here. There are some incredible restaurants to eat at and my husband highly recommends the Waitangi Golf Club just 5 minutes from Paihia. Definitely add the Bay of Islands to your list of places to visit in the North Island of NZ!

Great town with friendly locals.
Great town with friendly locals. All hospitality options covered, with a bar on a jetty that is very pleasant but always seemed short staffed. Easy walking town and a jetty to Russell with happy staff to greet you.
Visited Pompallier House in Russell which is well worth the visit and again met with lovely friendly greeting and service.

Walking distance to everything you need.
Walking distance to everything you need. Swimming pool is lovely ,but don't forget to bring beach towels. No fresh towel service ,but has washing machine. The two bedrooms are lovely and bonus 2 bathrooms. Great place to stay, will stay again.
This motel is situated on the main strip of Paihia, was easily located. 10 mins walk to the Paihia Ferry harbour. Few minute's walk to the beach. Room was very comfortable and clean. Small kitchen facilities provided. Bathroom was clean and shower was a good size. Very happy with our stay. Friendly staff. Pool was nice as well. Water was a bit cold but since it was a hot day that didn't matter too much.
The Location was fine and in the main area of Paihia ... Unfortunately the 6 bed dorm was cramped with all the various backpacks etc... No fans or aircon just open windows so the room was hot and stuffy, but OK. Only one power point in the room with full power boards. I slept in a top bunk which was an effort for me to climb in and out of without disturbing anyone... Shower was good & hot
We have stayed here a few times now and this is the place we will continue to come in the future. Room was big enough for 5 of us, kids love the pool and spa. This is the draw card for our family as not every hotel has a heated pool and spa. No residents staying here!! Awesome place to stay with your family, feels safe and comfortable. Thanks to Jo and her team.
Apart from a comfortably roomy , quiet apartment which was clean and bright .. the view was spectacular.. I’d thoroughly recommend booking an Ocean View Unit . A fuss free check in and out .. the Motel is a very short walk to restaurants, shopping and ferries .. and the Treaty Grounds .. We loved our stay in Paihia ..enhanced by staying at the Breakwater Motel
We have stayed at the beach house a number of times now and it is always a comfortable and homely stay. We enjoy this house as it is very spacious for the whole family/friends to enjoy. Close to the beach and countdown. The view is delightful, always nice to wake to. This house caters to a group of people (Families, group of friends, colleagues).
The room that we got in the older section was great value - it was large and for our family it meant that we all had a bit more space. The motel is a great location, only a 2 min walk to centre of town. The parking is great, staff friendly and it was a comfortable 3 night stay.
I am never ever disappointed when i stay at Bounty Motel. It is the best hotel in Paihia, in my opinion.
Paul is amazing. The staff are so nice. The rooms are spotless and super comfy, the location is excellent and the pricing is amazing.
GO STAY THERE!!! YOU WONT REGRET IT.
Its a beauty 🤗 here at the #CliffEdgeLodge would definitely recommend you go there and get some relaxation with a awesome view.
Very tidy, fabulous old antique interior.
Not far from Opua ferry to Russell and Paihia.
Scrumptious breeky.
Loved it ALL 🤗😊
Thank you Peter
Greeted and welcomed by Jan on arrival who was so lovely. We really enjoyed our stay, the apartments were well equipped with quality amenities, its family friendly and a short walk to the beach :) The garden is beautiful my parents loved it!!
Great space with lovely views of Kuhuru inlet and bay. Mike was a great host and font of abundant information to enhance our visit to the Bay of Islands. Personalized breakfast was very nice. Suite was clean and modern and we'll supplied.
customer service went way above and beyond. We arrived four hours early and were able to get the key and pop our bags in. We woke up to a beautiful view of the Bay of Islands. Minutes to walk into Paihia. It was perfect.
Right across the road from the beach and a fabulous view of the bay of islands looking across to Russell. The apartments are close to shops and cafes, and there is plenty to do in Paihia winter or summer.
Bed was comfortable, room was ample and not damp. the flow of the river in the background was a nice ambience, and the grounds are extensive. Would return with my family for a cheap holiday for sure.
Location was perfect, on the main beach road just opposite the pier where the ferry to Russell departs. The views from the common area were spectacular! The staff were friendly and approachable.
Fantastic location, great to walk from the motel to anywhere in Paihia. We really appreciated the offer to leave the car at the motel after checkout, until we returned from our ferry trip.
Location, spacious restaurant, near the beach and friendly staff … if only they will check the rooms cleanliness especially the beddings and linens, it will be a good Hotel.
