Gillian

Paihia Lodge Manager

Originally from the mighty Waikato, Gillian has come to join the Haka whanau after 6 years of managing resorts in the Cook Islands. Previous to working in tourism, she has spent many years in the broadcasting and music industries, and has been an intrepid and curious traveller for as long as she can remember.

She believes that the best memories and greatest adventures come from travelling, and feels privileged to welcome travellers from all over the world to Haka Lodge Paihia, and the beautiful Bay of Islands.

CENTRALLY LOCATED BACKPACKER ACCOMMODATION

Located opposite the wharf on Marsden Road, we are less than one-minute’s walk from the Intercity bus stop and ferry terminal, and our penthouse location overlooks the town and the Bay – we really are right in the heart of Paihia!

OUR WELCOMING CULTURE

When you stay with us, you’ll notice that much of the signage is in Māori. This is in part to encourage our guests to explore the Māori language, and also as a visual reminder to ourselves of our commitment to the traditional Māori value of manaakitanga. Manaakitanga is the act of hospitality where guests arrive as manuhiri (visitors) and leave as whānau (family). As per tradition, we opened Paihia lodge with a powhiri (Māori welcoming ceremony and blessing).
