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!

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.
Really had a fabulous stay for a week. We were made welcome from the start. Anything we needed was supplied by just asking Winnie the owner of the motel. The room was spacious and very clean, everything we needed supplied in the kitchen area. Tea and coffee topped up daily and fresh milk in fridge. The hotel was perfectly situated a little walk from Paihia centre so very quiet and a beautiful walk along the seafront into town. We loved our stay and would definitely return if we had the opportunity. Didn’t want to leave.
The place was so clean. The views from our extra large balcony were absolutely spectacular. The place was roomy and very comfortable. The hosts Theo and Sopha were extra friendly and helpful, going so far as to drive us into town a couple of times. They were so accommodating in every way without being intrusive. It was a short walk to town that you could walk along the beach unless it was high tide, when you must go around on the main road. It was a steep vigorous climb either way, but we appreciated the exercise.
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.
clean tidy and close to all amenities say 5 minute drive from Paihia
Chris and Michael are awesome host we stayed for 3 nights and it was a lovely 🥰 time of our life
the backdrop is breath taking and the hosts are knowledgeable and informative
can not thank the host enough
will definitely return again in future
loved the place hospitality and the kindness
thanks a lot Michael and Chris will see you in future
Great all-round accommodation and value for money for a family. Great balcony with afternoon shade and spectacular view. Well located especially if you don't mind walking a bit, being an easy 10 min walk down the hill to the beach and 15 mins to Paihia wharf. A bit of energy required to get home up the hill but not a problem for those physically able and up for a bit of exercise.
The Bounty is always my first choice when planning a stay in Paihia. It's in a great location and is the best value for money above all other hotels in town. I am never disappointed.
The rooms are spotless and serviced every day. The decor is simple but tasteful and better than the mish-mash of colours I've seen at other hotels.
The staff are lovely. Paul is great.
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).
after two years of not being able to travel overseas, staying at the Paihia Beach Resort & Spa truly felt like I was in a luxury resort in some beachy international destination. it was exactly what we were after - the pool, restaurant, spacious room & aircon, walking distance from everywhere we needed to be
The bed was great, and the location room was nice and quiet with a pleasent outlook over the inlet.. This is a convenient location for Paihia and they provide a free shuttle service to and from town.
The pool complex and a nice tropical look, the spa pool was nice and hot.
Good location, cheap price for a hotel. I stayed in the budget two single beds room, the bedroom looks new and clean. The hotel staff is friendly and accommodating. The pictures with the hotel is misleading, doesn't provide an accurate description of what the room looks like.
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.
We had four generous,delicious breakfasts served promptly at 08:30 to our wee patio by Trevor. We utilized the complimentary laundry; much appreciated.
The location is very good as it is as the bend in the road as Seaview becomes Marsden Road entering Paihia.
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.
Delightfully cozy, really clean and well maintained. Lots of thoughtful extras, great vibe, spacious and even a friendly cat. Short walk to swimming beach, helpful staff, overall great value.
