• Peter (8/5): It was a very comfortable room and would stay again. - Didnt have breakfast so cant comment but the location was excellent. It was a warm and comfortable room with a very interesting view of the harbour. The shower over the bath was a bit dated and not good for older clientele. The shower head and bath nozzle combo was at times frustrating.
• Todd (10/5): - Good Motel
• Barbara (10/5): - Booking was simple. Lovely quiet place with a river view. Nice walk down to the beach
• John (7/5): A good place for your holiday on the east coast in Gisborne. - Convenient central location. Greatly appreciated the use of the guest laundry. Due to the layout of the room the bed was an interesting piece of furniture. The side nearest the kitchenette and bathroom was excessively soft and sagging. Woke up to the solution on my second night, the other side was completely fine.

Even towels were large and fluffy. Would definitely stay there again if in the area. Well situated with easy access to restaurants and harbour
• Col133 (10/5): Great place to stay. - Only stayed here 1 night but would definitely stay here again if in area. It seemed to be in a great location within walking distance of harbour and good restaurants ( (Rivers). Room is fantastic. So spacious and roomy. Very clean and neat. Bed great. Tv a good size . Even the towels were large and luxurious. Everything you need.

• Bruce (7/5): Good -
• Martha (10/5): Exceptional - personal warmth and kindness added to ideal harbor side location & comfortable rooms. - We had various challenges arise during our stay: a tour pickup that didn’t materialize, a flat battery in a rental car, etc. In every case the hotel reception folks were amazingly helpful and supportive. The hotel itself is very peaceful and pleasant with an amazing location right on the harbor, and comfortable, well laid out rooms, but it was the personal warmth and kindness of the staff that made the stay exceptional. Nothing could have been better.
• KEVIN (8/5): - Good quality motor inn overlooking the river. Great sized room with a huge bed. There are a couple of restaurants within a 5 minute walk, and there are nice walks along the boardwalk for the energetic.
• Gabe (10/5): - Nice spot
• Simon (8/5): Stay as excellent - Didn't have breakfast. Location was excellent Nothing that i could think of
• Graham (9/5): very enjoyable - everything except the shower The shower hard to get wet so slow and slipery floor even with a mat step off mat and very slipery
• Bryan (8/5): Very good - Locations couldn’t have been better rESTAURANTS AND BARS ALL WITHIN walking distance. I found the shower potentially very dangerous as it was narrow and in a small bath. No grab rails in or out to prevent a fall ,this would be an easy fix.

• Pat (6/5): Very pleased with pleasant owners - Location and outlook Load guests on one night next door
• David (9/5): Superb -
• Francoise (9/5): The best motel we found in New Zealand - An exceptionally spacious motel room .with all the comfort you could wish for. Nice view over the harbour and sunny balcony.
