We used this as a base while touring the wineries. A quick drive to Napier but a great place to stay. More

This motel is located on the fringes of the town, with local bars and restaurants, but not walking distance to the Art Deco areas. Spacious and well furnished, with a wet room and bath, but the walls are quite thin, so there was a bit of noise to contend with. Very clean however. More

on arrival at the Rocks we were not disappointed. Our room was ready to go and we were greeted warmly. We were shown the room and found that a portacot had been supplied which we had not asked for. A nice touch. We had our own portacot but were offered a highchair instead. The room was very clean and surprisingly... More

The motel is situated on the main road into town but traffic noise was not a problem. A fish & chip restaurant is a short walk away but you will need to drive into town for cafes, restaurants.and shops. We were warmly greeted by the owner who gave us information on the local area. Our room had been recently refurbished... More

This was a very clean and well designed motel. An amazing spa bath that had a lot of use in the time that we were there. Adored the managers Dave and Jan, really friendly and made us feel at home. It had a private outdoor area if you are a smoker or just wanted some fresh air. We loved the... More

This motel is well situated on the west shore of the lovely Art Deco town of Napier, close to the sea. The decor, furnishings and especially the beautiful bathroom with its spa bath were of a better quality than many motels, but the room itself was very small, with nowhere to actually leave 2 suitcases without potentially falling over them....

As Innkeepers in Canada ourselves we tend to be a little discerning and we were incredibly impressed with At The Rocks. Outstanding hospitality, immaculately clean, nice outside space, 5 minute drive to town, Napier was a huge treat for us including the Hastings Farmers Market, Art Deco Tour, Milk & Honey Restaurant, and wine tastings at Clearview and Elephant Hill,...
