Making ready to leave (by boat...)
So now I'm back in Paihia/Opua in the north of NZ... I returned here after one night in Auckland. I hitched back up here, and as usual it went really easy. I'm now staying in the Peppertree, its a nice hostel, they got a good dvd collection and a weekly rate. wednesday I then went out to Opua, walked around the marina and talked to all the boats. I …
Bay of Is-lands
Ok so I'm in Paihia, nice little beach town, and here i shall be for the next 3 day. Straight away down the beach for an hour then back to my great little hostel. Peppertree lodge. Reasonable rooms, really helpful staff, free kayaks and bikes. BIIIKES! So in the spirit of my friend John Hayes, i went a cycling, my mission waterfalls 6km away. 12km …
Dolphin Extravaganza!
You know when you have one of those moments you are pretty sure you are going to remember for a long, long time? In Paihia I am pretty sure we had one of those moments; or memories. We headed on the bus up to Paihia which is a nice windy drive up to the Bay of Islands area. We both tried to fight of sleeping but it didn't work and we both missed …
Swimming 'with' dolphins
Day 206 - The Irish girls in my dorm kindly acted as my alarm clock this morning, coming home from a night out at the same time I needed to get up! As I waited for the bus to the Bay of Islands outside the Fat Camel, who should I bump into but John (from China and Sydney)! He was also on Stray but going south so it was a brief hello before I got on …
Kauri Trees and Hokianga Harbor
Today is the first day we finally head out. First thing in the morning we picked up our car from Apex. Not a bad car, friendly people. Heading north along Rt 1 we realize that the highway system in New Zealand is not going to be like the one in the United States. Mostly it is single lane roads with people traveling about 90km per hour. Not only …

TravelPod Member ReviewsPeppertree Lodge Paihia
I cannot reccomend Peppertree Lodge enough, the week I spent here was fantastic, the staff are all friendly especially Bryan who not only goes out of his way to help people get the best deals on any activities they may want to do in the bay, but he also gives you tomatoes out of his garden... well he did us anyway :)
I would go back in a heartbeat!
Small ensuite rooms and a large lounge and kitchen area, with free tea, and coffee, and two massive gas bbq's that you can use free of charge, makes this place perfect, and its only a minute away from the beach, making the fact that you can use the hostels kayaks free of charge a great excuse to get out onto the water!

Very clean, comfy beds, good kitchen, nice lounges (choice of 3 so you're not being subjected to people loudly watching rugby if you just want to read a book) free bike hire. Short walk into main part of town, but right by sea so worth it, a dairy on the same road and plenty of pubs and bars around.
