Paihia

Paihia is a small coastal town in the Bay of Islands in the far north of the North Island of New Zealand. Paihia makes an excellent base for exploring the Bay of Islands and is located close to the historic town of Russell.

The town offers an extensive choice of accommodation for visitors and plenty of activities to get the best from the Bay of Islands. From the wharf you can arrange a trip to the beautiful outer islands, join a deep sea fishing expedition or catch ferry to Russell. Sea kayaking tours are popular as are excursions to the local ‘hole in the rock’ at the tip of Cape Brett. Keep your eyes open for dolphins and you may even get the chance to swim with them.

Not far from Paihia is the historic Treaty House at Waitangi, which marks the beginning of New Zealand as a nation. Just west of Paihia is Haruru, worth visiting for its walk to an impressive waterfall.

For your stay in Paihia, you may want a hotel, apartment, bed and breakfast, hostel, camp site, campervan, farmstay, homestay, lodge, motel, holiday park or even a vineyard – simply select your chosen accommodation to view more details.
