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.

Auberge très bien située, une rue derrière de front de mer. A 50 mètres des ferry et des bus. Très Petits prix. Idéal pour faire quelques économies lors de votre voyage et mettre davantage de sous dans les excursions par exemple. Personnel sympa. jardin pour socialiser le soir venu avec d'autres voyageurs du monde entier. Dortoirs mais aussi quelques chambres individuelles. Connexion Wifi très correct.
