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

5This hostel pretty much charges you to breathe. But, it has great facilities, friendly staff, and it's the best location in Paihia.

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)....
