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.
Our stay at Bay of Islands Beachhouses was wonderful and a real highlight of our New Zealand holiday. We were met by owner Theo on our arrival and shown around. The views out over the beach and bay were spectacular and the apartment itself was immaculate. From the apartment we could soak up the views, enjoy the quiet beach below or take a short 10 minute walk around the shore to the restaurants and facilities in the main town of Paihia. We couldn't have asked for more and only regret that we didn't stay longer.
There is a free breakfast brought to your room each morning, and different each day. There is a main item, (omelet, bagel w/salmon) and a nice fruit plate. The location is about a ten minute walk from the main part of town and right across the road from the Paihia to Opua trail start. This end of the trail is only available at low tide. If the tide is up, walk over the hill on the sidewalk until the beach is there. Cross over a bridge and into the bush on the left to finish this great walk.
Brita and Heinz are great and welcoming hosts. This is run as a true B&B with shared breakfast with the other guests. We had some great interactions with folks from Germany and the UK solving the world's problems over breakfast and coffee! The views over Paihia and the Bay of Islands from the property are stunning and the room we had was very comfortable. Would definitely recommend.
Room was lovelyband spacious.
Had all the amenities, even though we were on the main road you couldn't hear traffic unless you went out onto the deck.
Amazing view,
Receptionist an Manager were lovely an helpful, I've stayed in most Motel/ Hotels in Paihia an been a cleaner there with 20+ years experience.
I would definitely stay here again in the future,.
The amenities we have access to here are perfect. The common areas and kitchen are ideal for a home away from home. I'm not sure everyone would have enjoyed my room, but I adored it! I had a private room with windows on two sides, so it stayed nice and warm. The location can't be beat either! You were literally in the middle of everything in Paihia.
The location is fantastic with the beach just across the road. A short 1km walk or drive into the town centre, or a 200m walk to a lovely cafe! Julie was amazing and gave fantastic recommendations of what we could do during our stay in Paihia. A perfect spot to stay to explore Bay of Islands!
Very comfortable, clean rooms, friendly staff and friendly guests here too. Nice facilities. Enjoyed the clear folder with information of the hotel, attractions and restaurants in Paihia, along with their reviews on the restaurant and menus. This was helpful and helped us decide where to eat.
The motel is very clean , Perfect for family , The Manager Miss Winne was very helpful,
Parking was very convenient right outside the room- The area
is very convenient with just 5 mins walk to the beach and restaurants
Overall we loved our stay in paihia and in Averill
Spacious nice appartment in quiet area. Possibility of cooking including stovetop. New Hot tub with warm water ready for bath immediately after our arrival with impressive view over Bay of Islands. Possibility for checkin around 8pm. Good place to stay for a week.
The beds were comfy enough and they offered different pillow types. The location of the hotel was relatively good. The hotel was close to the centre of Paihia and close to many restaurants, bars and main attraction sites.
The property was our home in Paihia, close to everything beach, gas station, supermarket.
the rooms are quite spacious and the kitchen is well equipped. we loved the details in the room, the decor. it was a perfect stay.
