Excellent stay again, super comfortable and clean room. Peaceful and quiet at night time. We love how quiet it is and the fact it is so close to the town centre. We will stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

This is an outstanding motel. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, very well supplied, spacious, great location, and wonderful staff. We spent two nights there on holiday and I just cannot find enough superlatives to describe our stay at this motel. Napier is a great town, and the bike ride along the beach path is most highly recommended.

Owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was great. The ocean was just across the road and we had a nice view from our room. On the edge of town, it was an easy walk for shopping and dining. Our room was recently remodeled, beautiful, comfortable and very clean. I would recommend this motel to anyone staying in the area.

8/10 Very good

Loved how spacious the unit was, well presented and excellent staff. Parking was the only issue

10/10 Exceptional

Love the size with only 11 units means has a more personalized feeling to stays. Staff are friendly and professional, look happy. Owners and their managers are hands on. Walking distance to CBD shopping and eating places. Most rooms have ocean views.

Weekend break

Great place to stay. Handy to everything, great service spotless and quiet. The owners are a really nice couple. Supplied information on what's happening places to see and wine trail. Easy to talk to and make you feel at home. Same with the staff. Have stayed here before and will again. Highly recommend this place.
