"Nothing unique but a standard motel as one would expect. Didn't like? Having to book on line as I believe booking sites are screwing the industry."

"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."

"From arrival to departure we were very impressed with our treatment and the accommodation pod we had booked. There are only cafe facilities at the weekend therefore the need to travel for food and drink was unavoidable but it is only a short drive into Gisborne. The beaches close by are a surfers paradise so would certainly suit the adventurous person, though not myself. An all round excellent stay. "

"Spacious, clean room. Well equipped; had an actual oven. Free laundry was a nice touch. Knives need sharpening and could use a vegetable peeler. I could not find any recycling containers; that would be a positive addition. Otherwise great facility."
