First impressions speak volumes. We had a king spa unit for two nights. When we arrived we noticed four spiders webs in different locations - with well-established incumbents. We mentioned the situation to co-owner Melanie, who seened genuinely surprised. She came to the room and cleaned them away. She blamed one of the girls for "not looking up" when cleaning... More

Thank you for your review. There is always something to learn. philbern is quite right, when he said I was genuinely surprised; I was. We pride ourselves on our motel, in all facets. Cleanliness is very important to us, and our record speaks for itself, as a quick scan of Trip Advisor will show. I am sad that we have... More

WE stayed in a number of Bella Vista properties in New Zealand and like the others, this was pretty good. Room was kind of small but functional. Wi -fi was average for New Zealand. TV was good. I found with all of the Bella Vista properties that there was a lot of sound transference from the neighbour's bathroom. Guy going... More

I am very well travelled and feel this is a great hotel. I actually had to stay at two hotels in Napier (the other was an alleged five star) and this one hands down is my favorite. The location is a block from the beach. The rooms are clean, modern and comfortable..all things you need after being out all day... More

Spent 4 days at this motel and must say it is ideally located to the city centre and Marine Parade. My only disappointment is about the room being a bit on the small side? That apart it was clean and had the necessary facilities available in your room in terms of what is needed for comfort and yes the bed... More

Just a few minutes from the promenade and the centre of Napier the accommodation was spotless, the facilities great and the bed very comfortable. The free wi-fi is limited to 50 Meg per day, but this proved to be plenty for our needs. The owners have a lot of information on the local area and you can charge the cost... More

Thank you Dexx for your review. Our guest internet system is quite new, and we are feeling our way with the allowance given. In the last week the per day FREE Internet allowance has been increased by 100%, to 100mb per day. The RSA is certainly a great place for a meal, prices range from NZ$20 to $25 for a... More

After staying with Sue & Kevin at Bella Vista Rotorua, we were looking forward to our stay in Napier. The motel here was clean, comfortable, the studio room we had was smaller but we had been warned of that before we arrived. The internet was free but not unlimited and had a 50mb per day free quota which was OK... More

The Bella Vista does not have a vista, but is good anyway. I was in room 4 on the ground floor which was clean and well fitted out. It was handy being that close to the car also. The staff are very helpful and nothing was a problem – the kind of helpfulness that keeps you coming back. The location... More

Thank you for your super review. Two worthwhile tips..We all probably take more items in our suitcases than we need, I know we did when travelling back to the UK, where I was born, but you learn quickly for the next trip and adjust your packing!

Many thanks for your positive review of our Motel. We might be a small town but we do have some super places to relax and enjoy an evening meal. Our motel is situated well, to the CBD, Ocean and to take great advantage of the afternoon and evening sun, which also provide us with some stunning sunsets. More
