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.
