Paihia is a very good place to stay if you want to explore Northland. If you are driving, you can go on your own to the tip of the North Island in about 3 hours. You can drive over to the Kauri Forest on the west side in about 1.5 hours. You can get tours out of Paihia for the Bay of Islands, the Ninety Mile Beach/Cape Reinga, Waitangi Treaty Grounds (you can walk there, about 3 km), rent kayaks or paddle boards, get fishing charters, take a ferry to Russell (or drive there). We spent 5 nights there and could have stayed a few more days and done even more.

Paihia is such a beautiful part of New Zealand!
Paihia is such a beautiful part of New Zealand! As the gateway to the Bay of Islands, there is so much to see and do here. There are some incredible restaurants to eat at and my husband highly recommends the Waitangi Golf Club just 5 minutes from Paihia. Definitely add the Bay of Islands to your list of places to visit in the North Island of NZ!

Great town with friendly locals.
Great town with friendly locals. All hospitality options covered, with a bar on a jetty that is very pleasant but always seemed short staffed. Easy walking town and a jetty to Russell with happy staff to greet you.
Visited Pompallier House in Russell which is well worth the visit and again met with lovely friendly greeting and service.

We spent two nights at Paihia Beach Resort and Hotel.
We spent two nights at Paihia Beach Resort and Hotel. This is a five-star hotel and it was in fair to good condition. The reception desk is staffed between 8am to 9pm. Staff were very helpful. When we got there it was raining and the reception staff had run out of umbrellas. A suggestion, if you place at least one umbrella in each room as this seems to be fair. A bonus was they had a self laundry room that was complimentary for the guest. The hallways and lift area smelt stuffy but the rooms were quite clean.
The staff at reception were very helpful and knowledgeable.
The hotel is in close proximity to a local supermarket which was about a 10 minute walk and it was about 8 minute walk to the wharf and the restaurants.
Transport: We used Kerikeri Taxis from the airport to the hotel.
Weather: We were in Paihia in early December but temperatures were dropping to 15°C at night and during the day it goes up to 21°C. The locals have told us that summer in New Zealand starts in late January and temperatures do not go over 30°C.
Our stay at Bay of Islands Beachhouses was wonderful and a real highlight of our New Zealand holiday. We were met by owner Theo on our arrival and shown around. The views out over the beach and bay were spectacular and the apartment itself was immaculate. From the apartment we could soak up the views, enjoy the quiet beach below or take a short 10 minute walk around the shore to the restaurants and facilities in the main town of Paihia. We couldn't have asked for more and only regret that we didn't stay longer.
Our room had a great view looking out over the Paihia Harbour. The staff when above and beyond what was asked, While checking Fullers called to stay they where cancelling the tour up to Cape Reinga (Just over 12 hours), They did a ring around to see if any or the other operators where running there trips. There was no one else doing it but the lady did more than Fullers did for us.
If you thinking or use Fullers anywhere in New Zealand think again as they all about the money and not customer service
This is the best hostel I've stayed at in New Zealand so far!!! The location was amazing. It is right in the centre of Paihia, surrounded by restaurants and shops. The lounge was my favourite. It overlooked the sea and was well decorated. It is a cosy place to unwind at the end of the day. The whole place was also exceptionally clean. Plus, when I visited, the all-female staff were super lovely and made a female solo traveller like me feel very comfortable indeed.
The bed was probably the comfiest I've ever slept on in a hotel and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. It's across the bridge from the main 'centre' of Paihia, so it's either a couple of minutes drive or a half an hour flat walk. Pool area is lovely, with shade umbrellas and loungers dotted around for free, but a bit small and cramped once you get a few families in there.
The Averill Motel is in a good location and within easy walking distance to bars restaurants and the beach. We found the manager very informative and helpful for excursions. The unit was clean and we had fresh towels every day. We only booked for two nights but stayed a third night. I can recommend the motel. Has nice pool and spa and the area around was very clean.
Room was lovelyband spacious.
Had all the amenities, even though we were on the main road you couldn't hear traffic unless you went out onto the deck.
Amazing view,
Receptionist an Manager were lovely an helpful, I've stayed in most Motel/ Hotels in Paihia an been a cleaner there with 20+ years experience.
I would definitely stay here again in the future,.
The size of the room was fabulous, i had travelled through to Kaeo to spend the day with my child, and decided to book at stay in Paihia. The location suited my needs and was extremely close to what i was looking for, as i was going to have a mirimiri at the community centre with David Denton on the saturday. I also appreciated that the rooms were clean.
Tidy and a good sized room. Comfortable beds. Great shower pressure. Nice pool for kids to enjoy, has a shallow section which is great for the little ones.
Has a restaurant on site, unfortunately didn’t get to try it out during our stay.
Our family loved this hotel, we enjoyed our stay and didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend!
it is a beautiful quiet spot overlooking the river, we stayed in a bungalow and it was perfect for our family. you can walk onto the riverside beach & your right next to the bridge to go across to Copthorne/treaty grounds etc countdown is very close & Paihia short 5 min drive away
Greeted and welcomed by Jan on arrival who was so lovely. We really enjoyed our stay, the apartments were well equipped with quality amenities, its family friendly and a short walk to the beach :) The garden is beautiful my parents loved it!!
All in all it was very good value. Apart from being a little ‘tired’ the hotel was a pleasant place to be and the ‘apartment” we had offered all we needed with a superb sea view. Breakfast was very good too.
Bed was comfortable, room was ample and not damp. the flow of the river in the background was a nice ambience, and the grounds are extensive. Would return with my family for a cheap holiday for sure.
Delightfully cozy, really clean and well maintained. Lots of thoughtful extras, great vibe, spacious and even a friendly cat. Short walk to swimming beach, helpful staff, overall great value.
Perfect location for a weekend away in Paihia. Everything is within walking distance and the rooms are the right size for a short stay. I will definitely go back.
