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!

    Great to take the hole in the rock boat trip.

    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.

    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.

    This is the best hostel I've stayed at in New Zealand so far!!! The location was amazing. It is right in the centre of Paihia, surrounded by restaurants and shops. The lounge was my favourite. It overlooked the sea and was well decorated. It is a cosy place to unwind at the end of the day. The whole place was also exceptionally clean. Plus, when I visited, the all-female staff were super lovely and made a female solo traveller like me feel very comfortable indeed.

    The view is great! But then having a spa & a BBQ setup all in the one spot made it even more amazing! The place is cozy & loved how the sitting room & 2x of the bedrooms connect to the outdoor patio & the beach is literally across the road. We also liked that our parking was undercover & next to the entrance of the home. Our family of 6x adults enjoyed our stay & are already planning to come back! Thank you Blue Pacific Apartments!

    This motel is situated on the main strip of Paihia, was easily located. 10 mins walk to the Paihia Ferry harbour. Few minute's walk to the beach. Room was very comfortable and clean. Small kitchen facilities provided. Bathroom was clean and shower was a good size. Very happy with our stay. Friendly staff. Pool was nice as well. Water was a bit cold but since it was a hot day that didn't matter too much.

    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 Location was fine and in the main area of Paihia ... Unfortunately the 6 bed dorm was cramped with all the various backpacks etc... No fans or aircon just open windows so the room was hot and stuffy, but OK. Only one power point in the room with full power boards. I slept in a top bunk which was an effort for me to climb in and out of without disturbing anyone... Shower was good & hot

    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
