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.

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.
