The location is simply beautiful, and seeing the train cross the bridge in the morning was such a unique experience. The room and bathroom were really clean and I loved the little compact but useful kitchenette in the room. The in room amenities were of lovely quality. I really enjoyed the stay here.

The couple from Gisborne. We were stunned when we entered the room and saw the large window with a view straight out to the waterfront. My wife thought we were on a cruise ship with an outside cabin. The room and bathroom were clean and tidy, and the kitchenette was a well-hidden gem and very useful. The staff were always friendly and helpful, and our room was serviced every day. The location is perfect in the City Centre, with no need for a car to explore the city, visit restaurants, and shop. We highly recommend this motel, and our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer—but we will be back. Our best wishes to Nicki and the staff—keep up the great work!

I went here with my family (2 kids and my husband) they charged me for 2 kids 25 dollars each. I booked the room on a booking website and it said nothing about charging kids. The lady working didn’t even tell me that they had a child feed when I bought the family room that was already out of my budget, it was late and we needed a place to stay for the night. When I was like what the lady got all mad at me. At the end of the night we just payed the feed and stayed there. We originally wanted to stay bc of the nice rooms and the pics on the website. Well no the room we got was totally different. Instead of an ocean view we got a view of the parking lot. The booking website chose our room for us for we did not want a room over looking the parking lot. I’m summary don’t make the same mistake we did.
