We loved the size of the unit, which with just 3 of us in it was extremely large. The kitchen was well equipped and well set out. The unit overall was very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again when next in Gisborne, it's worth the short drive out of the city. More

We found the appartment to be spacious with excellent outside space . Even though there were 5 of us, all adults) we never felt overcrowded. KItchen not badly equipped, could have done with a proper oven to cook our Christmas dinner but managed with a ready cooked one reheated in the electric worktop oven. All in all an enjoyable stay...

Two nights at the Ocean Beach Motel near Gisborne was perfect. We booked a two bedroom unit for two couples and were amazed by the size of the suite. If the Ocean Beach was right on the water, a higher star rating would have be given. The motel is only two blocks from Wainui Beach which is a wonderful place... More

At the time of over stay Gisborne had a really cold spell.... The unit took a long time to warm up as the main small wall heater had a time switch on it and would turn off automatically. With no under floor tile heating did not help in the bathroom area and kitchen. Would be great in the heat of... More

Have just got home after my 2nd stay at Ocean Beach Motor Lodge. Warm welcome when I arrived and then a couple of stress free nights in a spotlessly clean and very well appointed studio unit. I love this place, and only 2 minutes walk from fabulous Wainui Beach! The Cantina Mexican Restaurant that is now open on-site (though a... More

My partner and I stayed for a relaxing four days in February. Wainui Beach would have to be Gisborne's hidden jewel and Ocean Beach proved to be outstanding value for money. Compared to some of the costly boutique hotels we've stayed at in New Zealand, this place proved to be extraordinary value for money with warm, personable service. Credit where... More

We stayed at Ocean Beach in March this year, for a total of 7 nights, with our two children aged 8 & 10 years. Kate and Hamish could not have been more friendly and helpful. The rooms were probably the largest we have stayed in and we enjoyed the private sunny courtyards. We had some great meals at the attached... More

We just stayed one night here on our 1 month trip around NZ. The rooms where clean and HUGE. We had a 2 bedroom apartment and it was greatly sufficient for our family. Free internet. The motel was a 10 minute drive from town but the upside is that its just a 2 minute walk to the longest and most... More

This was one place I really liked on our recent trip to NZ. The lodge is just out of Gisborne about a 10 min drive max. The place is 2 mins from a great looking beach. When we arrived we were suitably impressed by the size of the room and everything inside. One down point is that the bathroom was... More
