Very quiet location, essentially in the heart of Paihia but not busy at all. Clientele of all ages not just young backpackers. Wooden bunk beds meant no squeaking beds when moving. 12pm check-in rather than usual 3pm

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.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We really enjoyed our stay. The room was spacious, comfortable and the hotel well situated a short walk from the wharf in Paihia. Breakfast was nice, with a good selection of fried and continental options. All of the staff were friendly and very happy to help!
Lovely hotel on a beach with an amazing view. We had a room with a terrace on the 1st floor. Enjoyed spending time outside and soaking in the hot tub. The food is amazing in the restaurant. You can also have snacks and drinks for a less during happy hour.
Was a lovely hotel with good facilities and the rooms had everything you needed. Some of it felt a little tired but this didn't detract from the stay at all. It was a great location, very comfortable beds and would happily stay there again.
Very clean and tidy, the staff are absolutely amazing and I would recommend this place to everyone. Top job Peppertree lodge and as I have stayed in almost every hotel in Paihia I can without a doubt say that this is the best of them all
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.
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.
Location was superb! Beautiful sunrise and sunset. Breakfast spread varieties can be expanded. Family and kids game room was a fantastic idea, however it can be updated and better upkeep.
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.
If there is a better view in the Bay of islands I would like to know
Definitely a wow factor
Very comfortable apartment with direct access to the beach and a short walk to Paihia
