The bathroom and room is tidy, but in-terms of cleanliness should have more room of improvements, as we still found some dust on the bed and in the bathroom as well. But since it's a backpacker style hostel, couldn't be much picky bout the hostel itself.
Kitchen amenities is great, and I love the common area there.
Definitely a go to if you have budget concerns!
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.

AAnonymous UserA good place to break one's journey from Paihia via opinoni and waipoura forests back to Auckland. Dargaville is a small town with several Asian restaurants (recommend Suphan Thai in town) and a Woolworth's. This motel is located in the suburbs - a quiet and peaceful area away from traffic. Was surprised that the unit came with a kitchen (stove, fridge microwave oven) even though the room description only mentioned a LCD TV. WiFi was functional but slower than other places. Bedding was good. We couldn't find a hairdryer in the room.
Ssamuel eelExtended my stay again since my work delayed. But was also due to it being a plesant stay here !!
The owner of this place was very friendly. was a plesant stay here. Theres peace and quite here at night, maybe part of the keri keri specialty.
Enjoyed my stay here with the pool and laundry service provided (chargeable) but convenient to still have.
Room was impressive and spacious with good equipment provided and items needed.
Bed was really comfy as well.... will surely be back again !!!
AA.V.Lal20We stayed here for one night as a couple traveling down to Whangarei for an eye appointment. The location is absolutely excellent, and the eye clinic was conveniently just a short walk away from the motel. The on-site amenities were quite good, but unfortunately, the customer service was poor and the overall cleanliness of the place was only average. While the location is incredibly convenient for medical visits, the service and upkeep definitely need improvement.
JJanya TLove convenience location but when you booked in app you will got old Building. Like a small kitchen in the room. Tiny Dishwasher was surprised me. Smart tv box is excellent for my Entertainment. Only problem was hot water temperature when showering. It's hard to control stable warm. Too hot and too cold. The towels supposed to change after second day stay that notice in the bathroom but it changed on fourth day of six days.
AAdeline SveistrupWas an ok stay for one night slightly higher pricing and the mattresses were a bit past so not a good sleep unfortunately then we were rudely awoken by someone bashing on our door and didn't stop til we opened it only to go sorry wrong room this was at 7am unfortunately we left before open hours of the office or we would have asked for a partial refund on our stay
AAnonymous UserWe booked a 1 bedroom apartment. It was clean and the service of the staff is good. The locatipn of the property was quite near the city centre, a short drive to the supermarkets.
The cooking utensils were rather basic, with some missing items. We asked the lady and she replaced them for us.
There was only one AC in the apartment, so we need to keep the bedroom door open at night.
XXian 81We loved our stay here!!! They upgraded our room free of charge and nothing was too much to ask for. We ended up adding nights to our original booking, it was easy and no problem at all. Very clean and comfortable with everything one could possibly need. Super friendly family running this place. We will definitely stay here again.
MM479807****The room is very close to the beach, with a view from the balcony. The boat boarding area is within a 10-minute walk. Dining is convenient, with many restaurants nearby. After dinner, you can take a stroll on the beach or get up early to watch the sunrise – very pleasant. Paihia is my favorite vacation spot; highly recommended!
GGuest UserSpacious, clean and comfortable room. Friendly people. Sliding door opens to lovely patio and nice grounds. I had to walk down the driveway at night and there was no lighting
