Paihia is a relaxing place in the Bay of Islands. Great for lying on the beach in good weather. Nightlife is surprisingly good for a small place with a few bars lining the main street.

Great for lying on the beach in good weather. Nightlife is surprisingly good for a small place with a few bars lining the main street. Fish and chips (aka "fush n chups" in the local language!) rules here, with many restaurants offering cheap fresh battered fish and yummy chips. Highly reccommend a trip to 90 mile beach where you can do sandboarding. You can book this from the numerous tour operators in the town.close

    This hostel pretty much charges you to breathe. But, it has great facilities, friendly staff, and it's the best location in Paihia.

    A nice little place, very friendly owners, lots of pets if you like that sort of thing, a great kitchen, good facilities, and very friendly place. Only downside is dorms are a little small.

  4. Peppertree Lodge 82%      

    Excellent place kind of like a summer island hostel. Right next to the beach and 5min walk from the city centre. Quiet but right opposite the loud Base hostel which is great fun! No lockers in the rooms but lenin and towels provided and heater in room (proved v useful when it got cold one night)....

    Staff was extremely unhelpful, she made us pay more than we should have, claiming that that was because of booking on hostelworld, so we didnt get our 10% deposit back, meaning we now payed 110%!! The door to our dorm didnt lock and on reporting that to the staff, they just said they'd look into...

    It had perfect beachy atmsophere, the swimming pool and sauna were great too although the weather wasn't quite right for it! It was impressively clean and in a perfect location. The only gripe I have was that the lounge/kitchen closed at 11pm and that the internet computers did not always allow...
