Hotels near Kaitaia Airport - KAT, Kaitaia

Kaitaia is a great base for visiting the far north and places like Ahipara and the 90 Mile Beach. It is a laid back place that definitely is not touristy. I was cooked the best breakfast I've ever had at Kā Uri in Awanui 6kms down the road.

I have family there but it was a very convenient location. The fish n chip shop was excellent as my daughter needed to have her own fish fried and battered as she had a fire on her stove top ! The helpfulness and quality of the end product was . .. the best battered fish I have ever had. The playground was a feature in the town. My grandson and I even rode the flying Fox together. .

Peek a Boo Backyard Eatery is a cool upbeat urban feel, eco friendly place to eat. I sat there for 3 hours at a comfortable table indoors, doing work from my laptop, enjoying a pot of ginger, lemon and Manuka honey tea. The guys at the Z petrol station on the main drag were exceptionally accomodating, when I placed a hot drinks order for 6 people, ahead of my afternoon meeting. The mobil station has a brilliant self car wash with a high powere water gun.

Pretty much the last most populated city in Northland if youre heading further north to Cape Reinga. Kaitaia is a great little city. Hub of traditional Maori culture & people. good place. Near Ahipara & Shipwreck bay, one of the best off the beaten path surf spots in all of NZ

Service desk staff were the most awesome thing about the place. Having 2 children stay in my room the water didnt stay hot so having to bath them was unsettling because the water was lukewarm/cold and when removing the sheets the leg of the bed fell off. I also booked a second room and that room was riddled with ants. My teenage children had to pull the beds away from the wall so they could sleep. We were attending my mother inlaws funeral and we only needed a place to sleep but its not worth the price

Kaitaia is a good point to get around the far north. However, the dinner choices were few and when we did get a Chinese take-aways, it was not very good. The public toilets was not clearly indicated but were clean. The township is quite rundown, due mainly to the Gorge being made passable again - it took three years! We felt sorry for the business people and also just the residents trying to keep connected with the rest of New Zealand. A couple of EV charging stations but the one outside the Warehouse needs fixing up. Across the road was one that was most efficient.
