I stayed 4 nights at Centabay and overall it was ok- it is in a central location in Paihia close to the wharf. the structure needs more renovations but they do their best to keep it clean with the volunteers cleaning every day.

What a fantastic place to stay. We had 3 self contained rooms, all beautiful and clean. The manager was very helpful. Nothing was a problem, great meeting the different people staying there. The bbq area was set up is a great location for many people to sit around. Very handy to town.

Great vibe, great price. I felt at home. I arrived late in the evening, but the owner waited for me. Full of young happy people. There's also a hot pool, but I didn't stay long enough to try it. The kitchen is big and fully equipped. The bathroom facilities are well distributed. The location is perfect, just a couple of minutes from the maritime station where all boat and bus tours/trips depart.

Booked a private double bed room which was comfortable and spacious. Room had everything we needed for our stay. Located in the township. Close walk to the wharf & shops. Only issue is the parking. Only a few available onsite otherwise there is off street parking but has to be moved at a specific time. This is also a backpackers so there are shared spaces available & kitchen for cooking. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Avoid this hostel if you can. Booked and paid for 1 family room $140 and didnt get much sleep. People screaming and shouting into the early hours, walls wafer thin, rooms hot and humid, bathroom dated and in need of upgrade. Overall, feel (in comparison to other accomodation) it was waaaay overrated.You dont get what you payn for in this instance.

We found the hostel facilities here to be perfectly decent but our two night stay was really marred by the bad attitude of the owner. In every interaction we had with him he was rude, unsmiling and weirdly accusatory and hostile, even though we had done nothing wrong and had nothing to complain about in turn. Other staff were friendly and helpful but with so many lovely places to stay in Paihia we'd recommend avoiding the bad atmosphere at Centabay Lodge.
