Big house with nice, clean rooms and a luxurious kitchen. A fireplace in the lounge keeps you warm in winter. The perfect location to unwind after your flight into Auckland - close to the city yet it feels like a different world. Friendly owner has plenty of tips for some nice walks and hikes to do around the area. Surfboards are for hire as well!

Piha Beachstay is the perfect getaway from the big smoke... I have stayed here before and will definitely be back again in the future. Warm and homely, beautiful setting - totally relaxed as soon as you walk in the door.

Stayed here for just one night after a couple of nights in Auckland central. It was just what we needed after the hustle of the city, an oasis of calm and tranquillity.
A backpackers place first and foremost but with all necessities taken care of. Great communal lounge area where I briefly had a chat with two other guests so a great place to hang out. Gorgeous location, with a stunning mountainous backdrop that really takes you back to nature.
Not many local amenities but not required if you're prepared or just passing through.
The beach is totally awesome!
Excellent value.

This place has won my heart. The owner is very helpful and friendly and the place itself is cosy, warm and has an excellent kitchen facility and a fire place. I would recommend it to anyone, but I'd rather recommend it to those people who can really judge this place at it's true value, which is simply wonderful.
