Ocean Beach Motor Lodge, hotel in Gisborne

Ocean Beach Motel offers comfortable accommodation in Wainui Beach, just 5 minutes’ drive from the Gisborne city centre.

Blown away with accommodation as we were only needing for a night to attend a funeral the following day. Our room was huge and catered for our needs. Extra bonus having a restaurant on site. Reception staff so welcoming and I appreciated the text message to ask what time I was checking in. The day went by so fast I forgot to look at my watch and lost track of time. Ngā mihinui

    We were caught in a cyclone and had to stay 3 extra nights in an unfamiliar town and stuck in our room for the majority of the time (with a newborn) . So we were so glad we picked this motel they were welcoming, clean and had everything you need * free wifi , my partner enjoyed the Sky sports to watch the state of origin and I enjoyed free WiFi aswell as the comfy beds plus aircon was great to keep baby warm during the storm. Thanks for having us.
