Cabins are a surprise. Modern and clean. Comfy bed. Friendly staff. Nice hot shower.

Location - sort of out the back…..feels a little isolated, especially turning up in the dark. Poor wifi. Maybe abit expensive. Paid $144 back at Napier for an amazing place…Pebble Beach Motel. And $140 further on the next night. But maybe it is the location and availability? No shampoo in the bathroom….had to wash hair with antibacterial hand soap:)

The unit was new, very clean and well set up.

The surroundings, the units are still surrounded by a building site and a very old hotel in front. I think some planting around them would help.I did have some concern about safety and whether my car would be broken into. But there were instructions in the unit about leaving lights on outside to discourage any problems

It was brand new. It felt like we were the first to use it. We didn’t meet the staff. All conversation was remote via text. Tests were very friendly and responded were immediate

If I was being really picky as the place was immaculate there was no hair dryer or place to hang clothes. There was only one comfy chair so we watched TV on the bed. WiFi kept cutting out so we gave up watching TV as it kept buffering.

Exceptional rooms. Comfortable bed. Great comms from friendly hosts. Wairoa has really suffered following the weather events of 2023, The Ferry Hotel is a shining example of resilience and thinking outside the box. The result is some of the most impressive (and surprising) accommodation I have stayed at. The standalone units are beautiful, spacious and have all the modern conveniences.

Convenience: A 2min drive across the bridge to a NWsupermarket, +shopping, an awesome bakery, petrol, laundrymat, atm etc.etc.

Instruction for WIFI connection provided but not working in my unit(3). No biggie to me, but others might have been disappointed.

Nice new cabin unit. Great pressure in the shower. Convenient for our one night stay.

Bed was too hard. Finding how to access the unit wasn’t so easy as no one on site. Found a phone number to ring on side entrance of old hotel and was then sent a txt with code to unlock key pad.

The facility was clean & tidy. The shower was a blast. There were more highs than lows.

However, one thing I would change would be the bed, the bed was too hard for my liking. Otherwise, a lovely stay.

It is a hidden gem. The stand alone Studios at the back of the property are exceptional and look over the Wairoa River. Comfortable bed, quality crisp linen, kitchenette has everything, modern bathroom with excellent pressure in shower.

Absolutely beautiful warm cozy room with a fantastic view. Very lovely stay. We were in mourning over an amazing Lady & your rooms provided a peaceful place to lay our heads to rest. Thank you 💛

Big open quality feel to the unit

The bed was good but a little firm for me. I was sent wrong entry code for key box so was a little difficult sorting that out. Units are new so some groundwork outside needs to be finished
