"Pipi Patch Lodge, a hostel in the heart of the sunny Bay of Islands. Relax in the pool, make use of their BBQ, soak in the hot spa or just relax with a beer on the sun deck. Close to an awesome beach and a few minutes walk to the waterfront, pier, shops, cafes and bars, Pipi Patch is the ideal base for your travels around Northland." - Kiwi Guide

Gapyear.com says...
This hostel is located slap-bang in the middle of the stunning Bay of Islands and we rate it for a number of reasons. It’s set up so you can’t fail to make new friends with a heaving bar, spa, swimming pool and nightly barbeques. Plus they know what backpackers are after with their cosy rooms, spacious chill out areas and super-friendly staff who are happy to help. The beach is on your doorstep along with the best cafes and restaurants that Paihia has to offer.
