Paihia
Haka House Bay of Islands is a welcoming and stylish hostel located just across from the scenic Paihia wharf, offering cosy, practical accommodations with million-dollar views of the stunning surroundings. The location was prime, though it was a bit difficult out to find the entrance as the hostel and reception aren’t on the ground floor. But it was on the waterfront and smack in the middle of a bunch of restaurants and shops with easy access to the ferry system.

The reception tour desk can book all tours, often with discounts, including cruises and sailing trips to the Bay of Islands and Far North. The lodge also offers a shared kitchen, dining room and indoor outdoor dining with BBQ facilities in the garden patio area. Amazing people, very welcoming staff. Clean and tidy. Wonderful communal areas. One step to the beach! I highly recommend it!!

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
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!
So clean Great facilities The view from the kitchen - absolutely stunning The staff were top notch (especially Scott) !! He always went the extra mile, nothing was ever too much hassle, and I loved how he helped organise socials with other travellers in the hostel. This is genuinely so appreciated when you’re travelling solo, it made meeting people so much easier and gave the hostel a really nice welcoming and community vibe - couldn’t recommend here any higher <3
Great location, nice and quiet. Plenty of room and good facilities. Having a gate to lock at the top of the stairs was a great safety feature especially at night.
Super cheap, great location
Very kind owner. Genuine kind and friendly. He takes pride of the place and their customers. Location, it is right in the middle of the town, just 2min walking from the bus stop/station and the wharf to get the ferry to Russell. Also, so convenient located near shops, restaurants, cafes, etc. Price, it was cheap. It is safe for solo travellers A bath tub outdoors and a friendly environment, couches and TV next to the kitchen, where you can interact with other travellers
There were x7 of us and we had booked x4 rooms. We were in the backpackers area and the rooms fronted an enclosed courtyard with only one entry from the street which suited us. We had travelled on motorbikes (x4) and felt the bikes were safe, unseen from the street and parked directly outside our rooms. Also, good restaurant across the road for breakfast, the Colonel next door and shopping center nearby.
the best hostel I ever stayed in...this is my 2nd time here and hopefully can come back again in the future
It was cheap, clean and a great location
