Staff was so kind, courteous, and helpful. Will make this our place anytime we come to Gisborne. Also appreciated the EcoKabs for their great taxi services.

Loved it. Kids loved it. Had a 2 bed apartment upstairs with a balcony that looked over the beach. Such a beautiful view. Would definitely stay again.

We had an upstairs room looking out over the bay. It is a strange arrangement with the bathroom room and small galley kitchen between the living room and bedroom and accessible from both. However it works just fine. The person on reception was very friendly and helpful. The motel is right on the beach and boardwalk and a 10 minute walk into town. Thoroughly recomment if staying in Gisborne.
Liked location to the beach. Didn't like the shower and a bit dated.

What a great idea to choose this property!
The room was clean and comfortable and we didn’t need the heat pump at all. The little kitchen had everything we needed. The sea view was something else to behold. Would have loved to stay longer. We will be back!
What a lovely spot 10/10 , Jaki was very lovely to deal with at reception, room was very clean tidy & decor was awesome , would definitely recommend a stay.
