Unique stay on winery property. Room was immaculate. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We were able to do a wine tasting and charcuterie even as the cellar door was closed during our stay. Super peaceful and a great place to unwind and relax.

Staff was so kind, courteous, and helpful. Will make this our place anytime we come to Gisborne. Also appreciated the EcoKabs for their great taxi services.

Beautiful, spacious room. Very comfortable bed. Great kitchen facilities. Quiet.
The only negative was the shower - its not enclosed so water gets all over the tile floor which is slippery and potentially dangerous.
Would definitely recommend this motel

Lovely holiday in Gisborne. Small bed but spotless room with everything we needed. We loved the coffee machine in the foyer and used the lovely pool in the hot weather. Staff were excellent. We will return

I didn't think I was going to like this accommodation, because I normally don't stay in motels. However, my teenage daughter and I were comfortable and had everything we needed, including a kitchenette and laundry. Check-in and check-out were easy. The beach, a park, and the city center were walkable distances. Although we didn't eat there, there was an on-site restaurant, which is very convenient. We were pleasantly surprised with our stay.
