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.
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.
Family of 6 stayed for 3 nights. Room was clean & beds were comfy! Excellent location with everything within walking distance. Andy was very friendly & welcoming & allowed me to bring my 6month olds portacot! Will definitely be my go to place too stay when holidaying in Paihia with my children 😊
Fantastic location. Great bar just around the corner. Loved the holiday vibe of Paihia. Andy was fantastic, great communication. We were the ones staying there so was quiet. Bit of local noise on a Saturday night. Great spacious family room. Great shared amenities. Rooms very warm.
it is a beautiful quiet spot overlooking the river, we stayed in a bungalow and it was perfect for our family. you can walk onto the riverside beach & your right next to the bridge to go across to Copthorne/treaty grounds etc countdown is very close & Paihia short 5 min drive away
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.
Perfect location in Paihia, with easy walkability to cafe's, restaurants, the wharf etc. The room we chose had views over the water towards Russell and was a lovely spot to take in the atmosphere of the Bay of Islands.
The apartment had everything we needed, including plenty of cookware in the kitchen. The bed was comfortable. Walking distance to beach and ferry terminal. One block to nearest grocery store, shopping and restaurants.
Very clean and quiet Motel that is located right by the water and also 5 minutes walk from ferry terminal and restaurants. Very friendly staff and owners. Definitely recommend staying at Breakwater Motel Paihia
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.
A spacious, modern, clean, well equipped unit, just steps away from the Paihia Wharf, restaurants, and the main street. The unit is like new with everything we needed and the property is well maintained.
The location of the hotel is great, close to the beach and other amentities. Nice to have room to move in a two bedroom and upstairs kitchen and lounge area. Shower pressure was good!
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.
The check-in and out was easy and the hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The inhouse restaurant's menu was limited, but the food was nice and enjoyable.
