Guest Reviews

Victorian (10/5): - I loved how Ange was such a welcoming stuff very spacious and affordable
Tia Maree Ropitini (7/5): - Quiet Warm No disturbance Close to shop No sink but next time we'll book over on the other side with the sink and couches
Jeanine (8/5): - Quiteness, The window to be fixed, a draught was coming through it
Peter (9/5): -
Eparaima (7/5): -
Robert (8/5): Pleasant - Local Bit dated
Anita (9/5): Loved this place so handy to all amenities would stay here again on future 😊 - Loved that it was close to town and the river, easy to find just off the high way, team are awesome.
Yvonne (6/5): Pleasant - It was as expected Restaurant availability neede better comms
Teegan Tangiora-Lawrence (10/5): Comfortable, safe and clean. - This was my second stay at the Vista, and once again it was faultless. The room was clean, tidy, and well equipped with everything I needed. Fresh towels were provided daily, which was a nice touch. The beds were very comfortable, with both a large bed and a single available, I ended up sleeping in both over my three-night stay. I was coming and going before dawn and after dark, and the property always felt safe, comfortable, and easy to access. It’s conveniently located close to everything, always accessible, and the staff are genuinely lovely. I’ll definitely be trying the restaurant next time. The rooms overlooking the river need better window security. It would be nice to have locks on all the windows so they can be opened for airflow or airing out the room without feeling uneasy about safety. On my last stay there were no window locks at all, and this time only one window had a lock. Aside from this, everything else was great.

Shayden (2/5): Overall, while the room was clean and well-equipped, a few uncomfortable and inconvenient issues took away from the expe - The room was clean and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The photos of unfamiliar Māori ancestors displayed on the wall facing the beds felt quite unsettling. Additionally, the fridge was leaking badly, and there was no milk provided, which was disappointing
Rodney (8/5): -
Stacey (10/5): Good value for money. - Location. Price. Staff. Swimming pool not available. Toaster didnt work. Ants.

Veronica (9/5): - Close to town and had everything we needed
Phil G (8/5): Good location, excellent parking. - Great place for a motorcyclist, parking outside the room.
Robert (8/5): Stayed here twice -
Robert (8/5): Comfortable and roomy - It was a large room with a queen bed and a twin. Plenty room to unpack bags. Restaurant on site. Easy walk over the bridge to more restaurants. Quiet location. Good parking. Has mini-fridge. Our travel plans changed and we booked a second night. It’s an older facility so it’s a little tired, especially the bathroom.
Olivia (8/5): Really great value for money. Facilities not luxurious, but tidy with wonderful staff. - The staff were wonderful, accommodating of our large group, very helpful and gave us great suggestions. Cheap drinks at the restaurant, which also seemed to have decent meals. Clean and tidy rooms. The door to the bathroom jammed, the bathroom seemed quite run down and needed updating. Single beds were very bouncy - they sort of sank down when you sat or slept on them.
Ojay (9/5): -
Ojay (9/5): Great spot and the restaurant was great - Great Location All good
Chris (3/5): - Very hard to find reception Not care taken anywhere
Teegan Tangiora-Lawrence (8/5): Will stay here every time we are in town - All staff were amazing from check in, to check out. The property was clean and very tidy. Simple but had everything we needed including an aircon, a great wee fridge and a TV with Sky. The beds were supper comfortable, rooms were soundproof and kept cool during the day and warm at night. Pillows were PERFECT. The room was exactly what was listed, next time we will stay in a kitchenette unit. We had to use the bathroom sink for water and weren't provided a scrubbing brush or dishwasher liquid to wash our own dishes. The cleaner we spoke to was lovely enough to wash and return them for us. Super grateful for that. Our room type opened up to a back street so we couldn't leave the curtains or windows open.

Niki (7/5): -
Askew (8/5): Ideal base for our working trip. - Staff very welcoming and helpful. Bed linen nice and white. Super large fridge freezer. Nice roomy studio. A bit petty, 2 wine glasses different sizes. Bathroom toiletries, only a shower wall dispenser not sure what was in it.

Chontelle Silvester (3/5): -
Hariata (10/5): Family - Lovely family enviroment,perfect location,always love staying here,great for families. Nil
Cristella (5/5): Meh - The pool We staued for 5 days, not once was our room vacumed, we had to ask staff for new towels. Was not the room we thought we booked.
Jayne (10/5): Staff are lovely. The room was comfortable. Have always stayed at the vista when visiting Wairoa. - Great location. Convenient to the town centre. Rooms are comfortable. Aircon in the room we stayed in and the kitchen was a great size for families. The room could do with an upgrade. In particular the bathrooms/showers.
Martine (7/5): Motel convenable pour une nuit - Motel convenable pour une étape hors des circuits touristiques. La chambre est grande. Facilité de parking juste devant la chambre Un peu vieillot. Salle de bains peu pratique avec un lavabo à l’ancienne sans mitigeur. Literie très moyenne
Peter (2/5): Birthday trip - Location The curtains were hanging off the rails. You couldn't open some windows because they were broken . The windows and mirrors were dirty. The bathroom sink has big cracks in them .The bottom of the shower was mouldy. Remotes where dirty. The bag area was coming apart .The bed on the r/h side was stuffed massive sinkhole . The room had cobwebs and it needed a total clean from top to bottom Door rollers are getting dodge too And the ceiling has old holes where the old lights used to be . Room 8 shocking. We would have gone but we had payed so had to stay power switch by microwave doesn't turn off.
Dawn (8/5): Great location and spacious room - The size of the room and the location. Nothing.
Wiramina (5/5): Cheap accomodation. - The shower pressure is amazing!!!! The lady who collected my room key that was doing washing is such a lovely lady too. It was a roof over my family’s head while staying in wairoa so grateful It was a little run down. Holes in the wall from repairs?. Unleveled door. The single mattress slides off base easily but are perfect for my two toddler sons.
Eddie (8/5): I would stay again - Convenient cheap accomodation It was great
Riaz (8/5): -
Rochelle (8/5): Overnighter with the girls. - Accommodating a 6 people. Ceilings could do with a good clean in the bathroom.
Marise (5/5): Few changes in 38 years. - Lovely hostess, great air con, space for 2 couples with a full size fridge (at Christmas). A bit of nostalgia as we stayed here on our wedding night 38 years ago! Pool looked inviting but forgot our togs. Black mold in the bathroom, oven didn't shut properly, single beds in the lounge were old, stained & very soft. A stranger poked his head through the door late at night, fireworks nearby both nights around midnight.
and jamie (10/5): Has all the neccesaties for a road trip motel - Lovely little pitstop for long trips. The staff were kind and helpful. We had a second planned trip to Gisborne but had to cancel at the last minute. The lady i spoke to on the phone was super nice and helped us out with Booking to get a full refund :)
Paul (8/5): -
Deborah (8/5): Awesome, would definitely stay or recommend - Very chilled atmosphere, lovely friendly staff, good privacy It was so stinking hot, better air con system needed. The 1 they had was probably sufficient for a bedroom only
Jessica (6/5): Was okay - Big rooms and plenty space. Staff were great too. No laundry facilities, no after hours communication as one of our rooms got broken into.
Maihi (9/5): Good price and all the available facilities met the needs of our group. - Good location and facilities for our group. There was no milk in the fridge.
Joanne (10/5): Great place to stay - air con and pool cos it was a 36 degrees day we arrived. comfy bed and we were supplied with extra towells for swimming.
Guest (7/5): -
Tracey (8/5): Great location - The handy location and the friendly staff My shower head was on a lean and I couldn't push it up to the top so we had to shower leaning against the wall
john (8/5): Good bed room and kitchen but lacking some maintenance and investment - Large room full kitchen good location comfortable bed tidy clean newish carpet smell free Decaying shower wall Cheap Poor quality TV small, mediocre picture and had to be turned off and on at the wall Lack of bed side lighting Lack of indoor eating area
Judith (7/5): Lovely to have a restuarant on site - Close to town The shower could do with a good scrub for mildew and the soap dispenser was empty
Derek (6/5): - Good location, close to town, good quality for what you pay. Small shower
Maree (7/5): Enjoyed our overnight stay, venue is a little dated but still clean and tidy and meet all our needs - Room was large, clean and tidy. Venue is a little dated, but, still enjoyed our stay, close to town centre. No applicable
Ivan (9/5): Spacious and comfortable room - Spacious room facing the river. Quiet setting. Friendly and helpful host. On-site dining facilities were closed but good recommendations were provided to dining options within a short walking distance.
Brenda (5/5): -
Teenah (8/5): -
Jérôme (9/5): -
Moana (8/5): -
michael (8/5): Repeat Customer - Room suited all my neefs
John (10/5): An comfortable lodge stay. - Friendly Welcome. by the owner, Anne. Our deluxe studio was delightful and large, with a lounge seatee and chairs. A separate kitchen and dining area. The bathroom was also well proportioned. Anne was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble to answer our minor questions. It was great to be able to watch the UK BBC on the TV via SKY. The bed was big and comfortable. Cooking facilities were good. The old saying "Red at night Shepards delight" did not work here. Brilliant sunset on our first night's stay. The 24 hours of constant rain during the 2nd day of our stay but the BBC TV was a bonus.
PakYin (7/5): -
Seraiah-Ruby (1/5): -
Lyn (9/5): - Host great. Plenty of pillows. Good water pressure. Spacious room. Good number of power sockets. Room smelt nice. Water views and could see the lighthouse from our window. Bed was uncomfortable to me. I like a softer bed pillow topper, hubby didnt mind it firm. Bathroom light flickered. Host supplied small light which helped.
Houlbrooke (10/5): -
Merran (8/5): A great stop on our way from NYE in Gisborne . - Great pool, Sky Tv to watch sport & nice table outside to relax at.
Stewart (8/5): Good value, did just what I wanted it to. - Location was great and the shower was very good. I enjoyed the Sky tv too. Facilities a little bit tired - the lock on my door was difficult to open from inside. Would have liked the bar to be open.
Guest (7/5): -
sonia (6/5): - It was nice and all Our room wasnt clean as well but im diffrent to others
Tracy (5/5): Old and tired - Location is good, nice and close to river and town. Staff were friendly and good shower pressure. Room had a musty smell, possibly from old bed cover and cushions. Ranch slider sills and window sills need cleaning, top sheet was ripped, 2 out of 4 lights flickering on/off, needed an extra light over additional single bed. A few little annoying things also includong only one knife for 2 people and had to go and ask for milk and toilet paper.
Stewart (8/5): Not luxurious, but did everything I wanted from a motel. - Location is great and my room was spacious. Everything a bit run down, but fine really. I would have liked the restaurant / bar to be open.
Kade (9/5): -
Keil (7/5): Vista Motor Lodge - They could accommodate us by providing us an extra night and moved our luggage over to the next room for us while we were away in Mahia. There wasn't milk in the fridge for coffee etc the second night we stayed and because of the rain and lateness I didn't want to interrupt them by asking for some. Perhaps they could provide UHT milk beside the coffee and tea, this would eliminate it having to be refrigerated and unnecessarily going off.
Sherylanne (8/5): - Great location, friendly staff, beds were comfy and pool was a bonus (especially for the 27+ degree weather we had during our stay). No extractor fan in bathroom so needed to keep window ajar.
Eila (8/5): - Area of Wairoa and Price. Suited the requirements of our trip
Jude (8/5): -
Krystal (10/5): - Everything. Very lovely lovely lady!
parkash kumar (10/5): -
Honour (6/5): Good enough! - Very good for the price and close to everything. I would do away with the cushions on the bed for an extra pillow just a bit classier and cushion cases are not clean. Summer time only have the sheets and coverlet on the beds, no extra duvet as you have beautiful weather. The poor people in No 6 had noisy faucets. I do believe simple changes at a minimal cost would not break the budget. Please know we were grateful to have a place to come back to and relax. Thank you!
Marama (6/5): The location and facilities were very good - I loved everything about the motel except for the loud noisey taps in bathroom where you turned on top and it started roaring obviously needs repairing in room 6 Just the load noise turning on taps in bathroom and I guess becos it was holidays had to ask them to refresh our towels
Talia (8/5): -
Lana (10/5): - Room was spacious, restaurant and bar were nice. Room a little dated but was large, had.kitchen with utensils pots n pans. Was comfortable i enjoyed the stay.
