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.
Randy A, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Neil, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Michael, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Liked location to the beach. Didn't like the shower and a bit dated.
Kristy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Rajnit, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
