Centabay Lodge and Backpackers, hotel in Paihia

Centabay Lodge offers budget accommodations right in the center of Paihia. Choose from a bed in one of the spacious dormitory rooms or stay in a private room to suit your budget.

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!

Dolphin Motel, hotel in Paihia

Dolphin Motel is centrally located just 328 feet from Paihia wharf. All rooms feature a stovetop, fridge and satellite TV. Guests enjoy up to 2GB of free WiFi.

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.

    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.

    We spent two nights at Paihia Beach Resort and Hotel.

    We spent two nights at Paihia Beach Resort and Hotel. This is a five-star hotel and it was in fair to good condition. The reception desk is staffed between 8am to 9pm. Staff were very helpful. When we got there it was raining and the reception staff had run out of umbrellas. A suggestion, if you place at least one umbrella in each room as this seems to be fair. A bonus was they had a self laundry room that was complimentary for the guest. The hallways and lift area smelt stuffy but the rooms were quite clean. The staff at reception were very helpful and knowledgeable. The hotel is in close proximity to a local supermarket which was about a 10 minute walk and it was about 8 minute walk to the wharf and the restaurants. Transport: We used Kerikeri Taxis from the airport to the hotel. Weather: We were in Paihia in early December but temperatures were dropping to 15°C at night and during the day it goes up to 21°C. The locals have told us that summer in New Zealand starts in late January and temperatures do not go over 30°C.

    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.

    Bounty Motel is in a great location centrally located to the waterfront, shops and restaurants. No need to climb any steep hills. The motel was spotlessly clean. Basics such as tea, coffee, milk, salt/pepper were provided. There was a kettle, mini fridge and microwave in the room. Plates, mugs, cutlery was available, also towels and small toiletries. There was a mini kitchen but no stove. Reasonably priced rooms.

    What a view!! Stunning view of the bay from the lounge area and the balcony of apartment 1. Large, older style, clean and comfortable 2 bedroom apartment with everything needed. Parking right outside the door. Short drive from The Retreat into Paihia town - too far to walk. Very happy and friendly welcome. The apartment reminded me of those lovely beach shacks in Australia we holidayed in when I was a child.

    The Averill Motel is in a good location and within easy walking distance to bars restaurants and the beach. We found the manager very informative and helpful for excursions. The unit was clean and we had fresh towels every day. We only booked for two nights but stayed a third night. I can recommend the motel. Has nice pool and spa and the area around was very clean.

    All in all it was very good value. Apart from being a little ‘tired’ the hotel was a pleasant place to be and the ‘apartment” we had offered all we needed with a superb sea view. Breakfast was very good too.
