"A great stay. Will definitely stay next time we're in Gisborne."

8.0

The location was excellent. Close to the beach and a short walk to the theatre. Beach walkway was about 30 metres away from the motel.

Wished we could have stayed longer.

"Enjoyable visit to a lovely city with great beaches and a good food and wine scene."

8.0

This motel has a great location fronting a lovely beach and within close reach of the city. For best views, book and upstairs room.

The motel generally met our expectations given the way it is advertised,
