Jonasi
First time staying in a backpackers motel. Although we got a room with an ensuite, the atmosphere being around other people was fun facilities were good and close to everything in the township. Only thing was the parking is limited based on a first come first serve basis which was ok with us.
Peter
Will stay again
Studio room in a hostel. Lovely staff. Clean all round. Room of a decent size with newly fitted kitchen and cooker in good condition
Lindsey
Comfy beds. Quiet considering it is next to the fire department. Kitchen could use a little work or at least people could clean up after themselves (maybe this is just the old person in me). 😀. Bathrooms all in good shape and clean.
ed
Studio was prefect size, plenty of room. Walkable to everything in Paihia. Really happy with our stay!
Janelle
Nice and clean, walking distance to everything, friendly staff, had everything we needed and the price was right.
Philip
Would only recommend to people under 25 / hardly got any sleep as walls are paper thin - might as well of been a curtain, noisy people in other rooms till 1.30am
Facilities were not maintained very well & had to wait at least an hour or so each night to cook or get a table - tip do that at 5pm.
Stayed at a number of lodges & caravan parks while in NZ, none were like this one.
Lucky it was our first stay on our trip & would rate it as our worst experience in over a months travelling.

Stephen
Enjoyed very much. Will definitely stay again. Nice room, good position to waterfront, and friendly owner. Enjoyed our time immensely.
Isaac
Customer Service Excellent.
The best service from a human I have experienced at a hostel. She was great. Only had 2 toilets and showers, which is not enough (one toilet was out of service.) room was only 5 beds which is very nice. Great location.
Robert
Was handy to the town centre and easy to find . Staff were friendly 😀
Allen
Quiet, comfortable location walking distance from the center of Paihia.
Richelle
Our room was pretty dated and small but had everything you needed. Lovely fluffy towels and soap supplied. No toilet paper in the communal bathroom. Kitchen area is really spacious and well stocked. Lots of fridge space and well set out.
Kevin
It was good for a short stay. It is close to everything.
Gael
Veey handy to everything in central piahia. Had studio unit 3 singles perfect for what we needed. And reasonably priced.

For the number of people staying there, it needed more toilets. The staff were great. Liked the spar pool.

Thanks for the nice stay
Thought there may have been housekeeping at least once during our stay, but for 52.50 per night can't complain. Friendly staff including flooffy doggy, enjoyed the hammocks (not to mention having to get helped and heaved out of it)
Just found that with 2 people it got a bit cramped in the private room after four nights, but if you're travelling alone, or there for a shorter stay would recommend.

Run-down spot in a great location. Common areas were not clean. Hot tub full of sand. Not enough toilets for the number of beds. Room was comfortable in a prison cell way.

Mary
Centabay lodge was quiet, clean, and centrally located. We stayed in a private room and found it spacious. We rented kayaks from the lodge for a few dollars which was great!
