Haka Lodge Backpackers is adult only and is within 10 minutes' walk of a variety of restaurants and bars. It is a 3 minutes' drive from Waitangi and 2 minutes’ walk from the ferry wharf which connects you to Russell.

Accommodation options includes adult only dormitory rooms and adult only private rooms with an en suite bathroom, a seating area, and a flat-screen TV. All rooms are heated and have linen provided. Everything is clean, the staff is nice and the view from the common room/kitchen is simply marvellous. The Wifi worked really well and the location is brilliant, right in the middle of town looking out over the harbour area and lots of food places around. The rooms are small but manageable. I loved that I had a socket and a light next to my bed and a curtain for some private space.

Under new management from mid 2022 and just 80 metres from Paihia Beach, Peppertree Lodge & Backpackers features 3 tennis courts and a barbecue area with outdoor seating.

Peppertree Lodge & Backpackers Paihia is less than 5 minutes’ walk from the Maritime Centre and Paihia Scenic Reserve. The Waitangi Treaty Grounds are a 5-minute drive. Kerikeri Airport is a 25-minute drive away. There was a really nice atmosphere. I had the queen ensuite room which was beautifully decorated, really clean and light. The staff were really helpful and accommodating - when I pointed out a small problem with my window latch they fixed it straight away. The location is also great - really close to the beach and the bus stop / wharf for boat trips. The kitchen area was also lovely and clean and excellent recycling facilities in place outside.

Centabay Lodge offers budget accommodation right in the centre of Paihia. Choose from a bed in one of the spacious dormitory rooms or stay in a private room to suit your budget.

Guests can play table tennis and darts in the hostel games room (during low season) or ask the tour desk about nearby activities such as kayaking, cycling and hiking. Check in was quick & easy. Very personable host.
