Close to the beach and hikes. Very laid back. Jeff has great recommendations which are posted right on the wall for your convenience. He even has farm fresh eggs from his chicken available for $1 and a trampoline. So fun!

A peaceful, green stay

This was such a lovely place to stay, in a gorgeous location. I wish I could have booked a longer stay. The outdoor area was full of greenery and a perfect place to kick back with a book or conversation. The hostel had a cozy feeling, and also walking distance to a nice waterfall hike and to the beach.

It was such a lovely stay, I wished I could have stayed longer! Could easily do a week there, the short distance is totally worthwhile for the breathtaking views. Everyone was friendly and welcoming even the pets.

At Piha Beachstay, the staff were very friendly and helpful especially Jeff #1 who went out of his way to fixed a surfboard so I can rent it and Jeff #2 who was hospitable making checkin easy. The room was clean and spotless-thanks to the amazing housekeepers! The bed and pillows were so comfortable. The outdoor patio area had comfy chairs for sitting out and a trampoline for a fun bounce! A shared kitchen equipped with everything you need to cook including a good size fridge and free range eggs (for purchase but a nice touch!). The location was perfect just steps away to breathtaking Kitekite Falls and 10-15 minutes walk to famous sites such the Lion Rock, Piha surf beach and the Tasman Sea Lookout. I would definitely stay here again when I return to Piha about 45 minutes west of Auckland City.
