Totally perfect for our last minute decision to stay. The bath was a great way to relax followed by the comfy azzzz bed. The shower unit was massive azzzz and the pressure of the water felt like a relaxing massage... Rerehua ake nei!

My sister and I spent 5 nights here. The location was excellent. For any of the local "tours" you can easily walk to the pickup point. Restaurants and smaller stores are within a block or two. There is a grocery store within walking distance, as well. Parking is available on site, but limited in the number of spaces. Most of the people staying here were very much younger than my sister and I, and I enjoyed talking to them. Staff was very helpful.

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.
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!
This beautiful wood cabin overlooking the Bay of Islands exceeded my expectations. It was beautifully clean and well-appointed (with everything I needed) and in a few minutes walking distance of the shops and restaurants of Paihia. The best thing of all was the lovely wooden deck on the cabin, where I sat drinking wine and drinking in the exceptional views. Really a wonderful stay- and wish I could have stayed longer.
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.
This complex is very close to Paihia main shopping area in a quiet secure environment.
Our room was upstairs with a good view out over the area our car was parked in.
The complex is attuned to the environment it exists in and offers opportunity to participate in the activities in the Bay of Islands.
The host and staff were very accommodating and extremely helpful.
The location was great. Nice Bar/Restaurant next door and lots more excellent options for food and drinks in the nearby town centre of Paihia. Also very close to the ferry to Russell and all kinds of adventure rides.
Our host John was very welcoming, friendly and helpful.
Our room was nice with Bay of Island views.
Beautiful views. Lovely to have the spa pool on the terrace.
Very clean, lots of great touches, washing powder for the washing machine & carton of milk for tea & coffee also provided. 10-15 mins walk from Paihia ferry/ bay tour pier. Great info & help at reception from Logan to book a tour for the following morning.
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.
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
Property was exceptional with balcony overlooking beautiful plantings leading down to a river. Located in a very quiet area but easily accessible to Bay of Islands. Very clean and great attention to every detail. Highly recommended!!!
we liked everything.
it was close enough to the eating places to walk
the layout of the hotel was exceptional and practical
we would recommend the hotel to our friends and family
the hotel was in a nice part of Paihia
Good location a street back from the main road and wharf in Paihia. Parking available. Facility was clean with adequate supplies. We visited in Winter, had two rooms and were generously upgraded so the rooms were together.
Excellent location in Paihia. Close to restaurants and beaches. We liked the concept with separate cabins. Ours had seaview and a nice little veranda.
Friendly landlady and convenient access to washing machine and dryer.
Comfortable room in a great location close to central Paihia. Paul was a friendly and generous host. Great value for money. Room was serviced daily. Very nice breakfast across the road at a hotel.
I was sailing from the Bay of Islands Sailing Club so the location of the hotel was perfect, especially with the room (207) leading out onto the approach road to the sailing club.
We were more than happy with our experience at Marlin hotel. They were very welcoming and accommodating. The room was very clean, tidy and spacious. Walking distance into town.
The nicest units weve booked in Paihia. We normally stay at motels/hotels but there units were worth the price. Very clean, homely,comfortable and warm 😊
