A fabulous stay for the night we were in Gisborne. Lovely, friendly and helpful hosts - great communication beforehand too. A breakfast included was a great surprise - muesli, milk, orange juice, toast, spreads, butter, peaches, etc. Very tasty and a generous touch. Much appreciated. Very, very clean, well equipped for a small studio. Easy parking. Comfortable bed - had a great night's sleep. Perfect for a quick overnight stop in Gisborne.

    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.
