We loved that the property is right on the beach, and liked that room six had a lot more privacy/ shelter from the road than a few of the other rooms on ground level. We also liked that we managed to get a carpark whereby we could see the truck from our room. I liked the layout of the room and the homely decor such as the woollen sheepskin rug and floating shelves. Randomly, loved how there were a pair of scissors in the kitchen drawer as a lot of places don’t have that. The kitchen basically had everything you’d need and we were given a little glass of milk from the lady at reception! I liked the pressure of the shower and how the toilet was separate from the bathroom.
I didn’t like how the shower curtain would stick to my body while having a shower.

My morning coffee on the deck watching the surfers was lovely. The boardwalk was busy, which was lovely seeing everyone out and about and enjoying the sunshine. The bed was super comfy and the room was lovely and warm. The kitchen was a little dark and dated but had everything you needed, my friend stayed in another room which was completely different to ours and quite modern which leads me to believe they are currently upgrading some of the rooms. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend staying here and would definitely stay here again.
Unfinished renovations, bathroom had a hole in the ceiling (which may have been a skylight) covered in what appears to be black cloth.

We stayed in a ground floor apartment. It has two rooms separated by the bathroom and kitchen spaces, surprisingly this works really well. It was nice to have a kitchen space with a stove, fridge and microwave which could be handy for us in the future. It has unobstructed access to the beach and boardwalk and probably a 1-2 min walk to the cafe for coffee. Close to CBD but far enough way to enjoy the peace and quiet. The staff were very pleasant to converse with. Highly recommended.
I am not sure if the extraction fans were working in the bathroom, as they were situated between rooms they don't have windows to get rid of the condensation. If they are working, they're really quiet and maybe a tad slow. I was also in a rush and didn't let front of house know. My bad.

Excellent location for our purpose as I could watch the waka ama races from my balcony. Everything was not too far away ie Pak n Save, Gas Stations, Lookout etc.
The spiders in the toilet and the bedroom. Due to the weather, there was a leak from the ceiling in both the toilet and bathroom. Kitchen was a tight squeeze but we managed to work in it, the facet tap would turn on and off by itself. the palm trees outside the room were in the way. I am not complaining, just pointing out things.

The location of this motel is great, fabulous views and direct access to the beach, easy walk into town. Comfortable bed and living area. Very well set up kitchen.
The rooms are well appointed, clean and tidy but in the unit we were in, the bathroom, toilet and kitchen ceilings are in need of repair as they are dropping chunks of plaster which was a nuisance especially in a food prep area.

From the beginning, staff were so friendly and approachable, and the rooms and locations are amazing. While the bathroom and kitchen are a little older, the facilities they had were awesome, beautiful bathroom toiletries, plunger coffee, and so many teas/ coffee/ hot chocs etc, even bikkies in a jar! But the living room, with the balcony overlooking the sea was the absolute winner for me- such a large room, the views were unbelievable, it felt like a holiday not work! And the bed was super comfy too- highly recommend!

The location was great! Deck that looks out to the sea and a boardwalk. The plan of the room was different to anything we’ve experienced before but worked great for us. All the staff we met were lovely. Had everything we needed in our room with kitchen, we even did some baking! The furniture was of good quality, really comfortable and set out great in the lounge area.
Not so much a didn’t like but the bathroom could do with an extractor fan. But there was def no mould or mouldy smell. It’s just a case of taking quick showers and making sure to open the doors to allow the air to flow through.

Delightful visa out to sea. Beautifully equipped. Great quality furniture. Warm and cosy. Well designed so that the living space could be closed off from the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom so that these areas could be heated independently. Very clean. Friendly staff. Good parking.Quiet area.
No negatives. Access to the upper floor units are by stairs. If you have mobility issues ask for a ground level unit.

This is the first time we've stayed here. The motel backs onto the front of the beach in the heart of Gisborne, but is set back enough from the Port and busyness of the city to be very quiet and secluded. The fitout is classic kiwi in perfect condition. I am a clean freak (in a bad way) and clean all cutlery, dishes and amenities before using, but these rooms are immaculate. Thank you to the cleaning crew - they are fantastic. We enjoyed everything about our stay, from the time of booking to the sad goodbye when we left. I asked to make a booking for Christmas/New Year on the basis of our stay. Can't say enough for this place.
Nothing. Great package.

The view is amazing. Easy walk to shops. Oweners and staff are very friendly and happy 😊 rooms clean and modern and very quiet. Well equipped kitchen so we choose to eat in for our evening meal. This was my second stay and my now go to place when I go to Gisborn for all the reasons above. I was traveling with my brother so we upgraded to have a separate lounge area on arrival at a good price. It felt like home away from home with a stunning view. Highly recommend 👌
