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.
I would recommend the Pacific resort hotel Paihia to anybody. we had a group of 24 stay 11 of them kiddies under 7 for my mums 50th we didn’t feel any uncomfort as we were a bit loud and all. reception were so accommodating and cool with us ! the pool and spa were amazing despite the rain the rooms were amazing and value for money. big shout out to the cleaners who come in everyday if we needed :) and also kept our console safe as I forgot it in my room for about 3hrs 100/10 from our group.
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.
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
Located in the heart of Paihia across the street from the beach, Ala Moana Motel is a fantastic place for travellers to stay in especially if they are travelling in a group. The staff were very friendly and were helpful in getting us settled in, as well as recommending us activities to do in the Bay of Islands. Despite it being our fourth visit, we had a wonderful time and this was enhanced by the accommodation.
This property is amazing. I had a bad experience in another hotel in Paihia and was able to stay at Paihia Beach Resort for the remainder of my stay. There is no comparison. I will be back to Paihia Beach resort in a heartbeat. Staff were amazing, the room perfect, waking up to waves every day, the pools, the restaurant, beds comfortable, everything. And on-site spa. Best massage ever
Great service, staff from reception and bar were very accommodating and polite. Our room was perfect for us during our stay and clean. The hotel is family friendly and our children did not want to leave it was great. I would say our room did not have much space for kitchen amenities but they have a restaurant on site and takeaways stores close by. We really enjoyed our stay.
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.
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 😊
Nice place to stay, comfortable, restaurant on site, walking distance to treaty grounds, longer walk to Paihia central. Outdoor pools, small heated pool area. Spa/wellness services available at request. Large TV and free wifi with our standard room.
The property was close to town, and the rooms were tidy, Clean and private, although we were a couple we enjoyed the family feel that the hotel had, been so close to town meant we were
able to walk to places and explore.
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.
I liked the location of where the hotel was, it wasn't to far from the others around the area. Enjoyed the pool, but thought it was a heated pool, but when we jumped in it was cold, but it was still very good
Perfect location for a weekend away in Paihia. Everything is within walking distance and the rooms are the right size for a short stay. I will definitely go back.
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.
