Relax a Lodge 3 stars

Kerikeri

Guests can relax by the fireplace in the guest lounge, or unwind in the hammock on the terrace. After a day of activities, you can share a meal in the barbecue area. The hostel also features free bicycle rental, and a free shuttle service to Kerikeri airport. I greatly appreciated all the fruit & food the host supplied.

Centabay Lodge and Backpackers 3 stars

Paihia

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.

Free WiFi, a fully equipped shared kitchen, communal lounge and garden area with BBQ facilities and a hot tub are all included. Free limited on-site parking is also available. 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. 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!
