I stayed here for one night the location was perfect near to the shops trekking route and beach where the scenery was lovely! The rooms were lovely and spacious with private bathrooms and kitchen with a fridge and work tops, the only problem we had was the doors were hard to lock. The main kitchen was small but with good...

I would not recommend this backpakers to even a homeless person. Pool and spa was dirty. Rooms have mould in them. Bar security love to punch traverlers and ban them from the bay. Rubbish service. Have gone to head office to deal with it.

Stayed here for one night in an 8 bed dorm. Each room has an ensuite bathroom and kitchenette, as well as the main communal kitchen. Rooms were clean. Nice chill out area and garden. Right by the beach. Friendly staff, great lively bar. Maybe a little noisy if you are trying to get a good night sleep but apart from... More

Stayed here for a couple of nights, the rooms were clean and spacious with en suite and a little kitchenette included. Reception staff were friendly and helpful and the hostel provided a very good value money for BBQ. Only downside is that the layout of the hostel is a bit strange, to get to the incredibly small communal area or... More

Probably the best Base i have stayed in so far in NZ, the staff have been really good and so helpful. Location is brilliant and the food and drink deals in the bar are great too. The rooms are like chalets with ensuite bathrooms and small kitchens. The pool is more like a pond but the spa pool is really... More

Mixed 8 bed dorm, close to everywhere you would want to go in Paihia, great party atmosphere, super friendly and helpful staff. Only 2 plug sockets in each dorm which was pretty annoying, lighting was bad in the dorms, and all the beds creaked. But I had. Great time staying here and would definitely recommend to any backpacker who wants... More

This hostel is just next to few others and has a really good location. It's not far from any of the most important places in Pahia. Nice bar with good deals, great bbq deal, friendly staff, nice rooms, quite clean.

I stayed at base for 4 nights its great location close to the beach the rooms were clean the bar didnt keep me up at night and it was a pretty good although very pricey with decent themed nights, all in all good place good service but a little pricey

I was pleasantly surprised by this hostel as I normally avoid base because they are normally overpriced and a bit chavvy. I think this hostel was nice and the staff were friendly. We had a 6 bed dorm with an en suite bathroom and a kitchenette. The rooms were clean and the main kitchen and lounge in the house was... More
