It was a good short stay ”
We came into town after most receptions were closed & booked online. It was around 10pm when we got to the hotel & it was closed too. We called & woke up Nachi but he was still pleasant & so helpful. He checked us in & even booked tours for the next day for us. We only stayed 2 nights but would stay here longer if we had the time. Room was clean & large with many amenities, & even with the energetic bar downstairs it was quiet on the top floor. Good location close to beach & 5-10 minute walk to pier/activity office; & a little bit further walk to center of town. We booked last minute & price was reasonable. Sorry for waking up Nachi!

Stayed two nights in family room during summer peak”
I understand that prices increase during summer travel season, and I am fine with that. However, the increase in price paid did not seem commensurate with any increase in amenities or attention to detail that one might expect for such prices. For example, there were still some small pieces of paper rubbish on the floor from the previous guests, television remote control did not function, some dishes available for family room guest use did not appear to be clean. Nothing terrible, but other things about the facility were less-than-optimal as well: WiFi was only OK, and then in the evening really weak during peak use and walls were paper thin so you could hear through them. Location was fantastic near the beach in Paihia, and staff was very helpful. 8/10.

SUPER NICE!!”
Thanks to responsible travelers and the staff, the hostel is generally clean. The open kitchen is neat and tidy, big enough and with good equipment. The locker inside the room is pretty big, shd be enough to put all your stuff in and making the room even more spacious. So, remember to bring your own lock tho seems you can borrow one from the staff as well :) The location is good, you can swim/ chill right on the beach right in front of the hostel~ All in all, it is awesome!

I like the place a lot”
Very good location with car parking and kitchen. Friendly and helpful staff. Our group of four staying in an en-suite 2 bunk-bed room felt comfortable. I strongly recommend the place to others.

The location is the best, walking distance to almost all attraction points. The kitchen is super nice and clean. Counter staff, a guy and i forgot his name, chubby, he is very helpful because i put my lunch box at kitchen, when i come back my lunch box is missing. He helps me playback the cctv and check for it. Thanks! Our room is nice and bathroom is clean!

Highly recommended ”
I got a free room upgrade! They have a well-equipped and very clean kitchen, common room; the room is tidy too; and all the staff are extra kind and hospitable, even lent me an umbrella to brave the rain during my tour.

Spacious rooms and new facilities ”
After a couple of nights squeezed in a 8 dorm in Auckland, Saltwater's dorm was exactly what I needed. Everything looks new and well maintained, the only flaw is the wifi: it works, but it's not the strongest I had.

Great stay in a great location”
The location was great, room was a very large size and comfortable. The shared kitchen could be left cleaner but I guess it was over the holiday period.

Super place in Bay of Islands.”
Place is next to the main road and easily accessible. Rooms are really big and you will get bunker beds also. Worth more than what is paid.

Enjoyed my stay here, very nice for a hostel and very clean. I arrived very late from Auckland on the bus and the staff were helpful enough to arrange a late check in for me. Would definitely stay here again.
