The motel is a 10-minute walk from Gisborne City Centre and a 5-minute drive from Poverty Bay Golf Club. It is within a 10-minute drive of Gisborne Airport, Titirangi Domain and a 5 minute walk to Waikanae Beach, a popular surfing destination.

Easy place to stay for a 1 night stopover in Gisborne. Check in was straightforward and rooms were comfortable and well appointed. Location was close to Sunshine Brewing which we appreciated. Also very close to promenade if you’re of the walking/swimming/running persuasion.

    The location was amazing (right on the beach). Very clean and roomy. Good pressure in shower. Loved the little extra touches, like the jar of coffee, not just sachets. The little jar of ginger nuts. The face cloth for makeup and other extras.

    Location was right on the beach with only the seaside walkway between you and the sand! Views superb and location also quite close to town. Hosts were super helpful and rooms smaller but fine.
