room was alright and as on the photos, but noisy and busy/crowded around the clock, (mixed) bathroom was below expectations and disappointing. Probably good place to stay if you want to meet new people, but would not recommend if you want to relax.

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.

Studio room in a hostel. Lovely staff. Clean all round. Room of a decent size with newly fitted kitchen and cooker in good condition

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.

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.

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.

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.

Friendly staff, eager to help if needs arose. Rooms are warm and clean. A fridge and TV in our room. Big kitchen area. Washing machine and dryer. Undercover washing line. Everything you need at this lodge really.

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.

地點方便，距離intercity bus stop 同碼頭不遠，只有3－4分鐘路程，房間尚算清潔，並有充足陽光照入房。前枱員工服務態度友善，另外有廚房可供煮食，但衛生程度可作改善。

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!

I only stayed here one night, so it was good enough for what I needed. The bathroom sink were dirty. The place looks run down, but if all you need is s place to sleep then it's ok. The kitchen is fully equipped, but is disorganised..

Excellent location in the center of Paihia, very easy to anywhere. A very nice property in itself, definite beach vibe. Kitchen was ok, modern and convenient. The rooms are very small, bed is just a 6 inch foam mattress with old sheets and duvet that were worn and obviously cleaned in house, smelly. The bathrooms are all outside, were always cold, and not-so-clean during my stay. The hostel is maintained by people that stay there for free accommodation, service was non-existent. I would stay again because of the excellent location, and compared to other places in Paihia the price is good, but the value you receive for the money, it's a toss up. Absolutely no frills stay.

Location great! Check in and out easy. I stayed in a shared dorm style room. It was clean and bedding was fine. The only thing that took away from the experience was the extremely slow draining shower. Basically standing in dirty water and since it drained so slow, means there's dirt left from the previous bather.

Small room with separate outdoor shower and toilet. Great location. No frills but OK.
