Atawhai Beachcomber Resort is perfectly located on the outskirts of the beautiful town of Paihia, in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. Paihia has an array of boutique shops and restaurants, and offers visitors a myriad of both land and water-based activities. Paihia town centre is just a 2min drive, or short 10-15min walk away from the hotel. Atawhai Beachcomber resort in Paihia is lucky enough to be situated directly on the beach, and there is private beach access available to all guests. Each of our spacious studios and rooms boasts panoramic views over Te Haumi Bay, Opua and Russell, and are perfect for watching the sun rise. If you are lucky enough, you may even see dolphins or orcas while you drink a complimentary tea or coffee from your private balcony in the morning.
