My husband and I stayed at the Fountain Court Motel for 4 nights, enough to get a feel for Hawke's Bay 2 weeks into our 10-week drive through NZ. I had done some research prior to our arrival and knew that Napier enjoys lots of sunshine and the accompanying heat, so I made sure we were booked in an air-conditioned... More

We ( 2 adults & 2 kids under 5) stayed here in Feb 2011 just before Art Deco week. We stayed in the large family unit that is on the street. The unit was upstairs & downstairs which was a challenge due to our 20 month old wanting to climb the stairs constantly - however we wedged the ironing board... More

Had a studio room on the ground floor. Appeared to have had a light renovation some time ago. Room was very clean. Old style CRT TV with less than average picture. Every time someone upstairs made a move the floorboards creaked and kept us awake.Close walk to the waterfront and restaurants. No road noise. Toaster and kettle were handy for... More

Room was fine and staff were friendly but had to pay for rubbish internet which was important to us for booking onward travel plans. Location a bit of a walk from bars and night life and no local takeaways More

One block behind Marine Parade, so no views, but peace and quiet. We greatly enjoyed our one-night stay: friendly reception, nice small pool for our son, revamped bathroom, well equipped kitchenette. We would choose to stay again if in Napier. More

We stayed at this motel over a busy holiday weekend, and, despite being completely booked up, were VERY impressed with it. The rooms are not super modern, but they are comfortable and extremely clean. The bed was large and comfortable, we had a generous amount of free wifi and we were able to use the office printer at one point.... More

We stayed one night. Unlike a prior reviewer, we didn't find the Fountain Court to be all that outdated. Some features may not be brand new, but everything was well cared for and very clean. The room was large. The kitchen was set up to be very usable. The desk/chair setup was excellent for for computer use, writing postcards, etc...... More

Room 22. Delighted with the amount of space for a studio room. Drop-out couch for extra bed was handy to sit on for in-house meals and watching TV. This was ground floor and there was some walking about noise from the room above but I believe one section of this motel has been sound-proofed for this. An upstairs room may... More
