Friendly Staff, great location, just a short stroll to the beach! City is only a few minutes drive away.
Facilities were clean and beds were very comfortable. Air conditioning worked a treat in the 33deg heat outside.
Just a friendly reminder for all that do stay, Wainui beach isn't on town supply water, so rainwater and water trucks are what most places have. So please don't waste the water down the sink and complain that the water pressure isn't peeling the skin off your back in the shower. 😀

100% staying again.
Such a lovely place, close to the beach, cafe across the road (didn’t get to go but have heard good things) and lovely staff!
Room was spacious, inviting and very tidy
Bed was a little hard for my wife but that just comes down to preference

Wonderful place to stay, just outside of Gisborne - the hosts are incredibly friendly and accommodating! Plenty of parking.
Nothing - is wonderful.

Loved the spa bath in the room, very romantic
staff was very helpful and friendly super nice people, clean spacious room- great for a couple nights
Wish the heater was larger and the kitchen area was a little bigger, I also think the beds could be upgraded they are quite stiff.

Lovely location, friendly staff, close to the beach and plenty of parking. There was a lovely vegan Cafe down the road with the most lovely people, coffee and food.
Described as luxury suite, definately was not that. Only a queen bed, very uncomfortable too. Shower didn't work properly, just dribbled out. Flys in the room were very annoying but we found some flyspray in the cupboard thank goodness and the traffic noise was bad.

This is a "mixed-use" hotel so long term emergency housing tenants mixed in with paying guests which we were not made aware of when we booked via booking.com and there is nothing on website advising of this either. This needs to be advertised as we would not have booked here had we known. The entire premises feels tired and run down since we last stayed, extremely disappointed
4.0 / 10.0
Arrived to be greeted by owner’s father. He did not want to take our money and did not know the Wi-Fi password. There was no power in the room and he had to call her twice. No instructions re hob and she had little idea.
Very noisy with passing traffic.
I would not be surprised to hear that she has only recently taken over the motel. Not very professional as she spoke to her daughter whilst checking us in. Too expensive for the accommodation provided.

Most definitely be returning.
Nothing. It was awesome.
9.0 / 10.0
Very comfortable, great size and facilities. I would choose to stay there again.
Nothing much, just house keeping maybe, I did expect to return after a day out to new towels and dirty towels removed. We stayed 2 nights and when we checked out there was a huge pile of dirty towels it just would have been nice if they were removed daily.
