“Woh, really impressed.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Arrived into Napier without having booked anything and wandered into this motel. A really warm greeting, when I said I wasn't sure I was promptly shown a room and immediately said yes. As has been said this is an 'older' motel but I wouldn't use the word 'dated'. What really struck me was the cleanliness, I've never seen a hotel room cleaner, once I notices how clean it was I started having a really good look and could not fault it. Our bed was comfortable and the kitchen area was really great for our two night stay. Our host was happy to recommend a dinner spot for us and farewelled us like we'd known him forever.
I would not hesitate to recommend.

Room Tip: we were on the ground floor just near the 'very small' pool.

“3.5 stars”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

The Edgewater's location was great for us, central so we could explore on foot. Room was spacious enough for 3 adults, bathroom big enough, and kitchenette served well for breakfast. Our ground floor room shared a terrace area with ~3 other rooms, with tiny plunge pool, with a tall fence and plantings separating it from the sidewalk on Marine Parade. A 2nd floor room would have provided a view. Proprietors were friendly and very helpful, pointing out must-see sights and directions to the sheepskin factory outlet.

Room Tip: Upper floor gives view of the beach.

“Not so welcoming”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed for 2 nights recently
The slat bed was terribly uncomfortable
The room was very dark and tired and very small
We asked for a fan as no air con and my husband on morphine gets very warm but we never received the fan. Questioned why we paid more than the web site price and was told there were smaller rooms upstairs yet we were upstairs.
Host was not friendly nor welcoming so will not be staying there on our next visit
The location was great and a very small balcony with sea views over the road

Hello Linda. Thank you for your review and I am really sorry that I did not give you the fan at the time of asking. I said that I would drop one up to your unit. I was busy with other people when you called. A simple pick up the phone and dial zero would have solved the problem. As far as the beds are concerned we have a Medium mattresses on them. That seems to be more than suitable for the 99% of the 10,000 guest we have per year. And as for the Rate of the unit, we have 10 units up stairs. 7 studios, 2 the same as yours, 2 smaller and 3 bigger with cooking facilities and a larger balcony. All as described on holiday guide which is how you booked.
We do the smaller units cheaper. When you checked in at 11am you signed a registration form. A contract which has the rate on it. Once again thank you for the review and we will use your fedback to make improvements. Regards Roy

“Small room, clean and comfortable.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

Great location across the road from the ocean. Had a great view from our upstairs room. The room was quite small but had everything that we needed for an overnight stay. Very friendly hosts. Would stay again.

Gidday.
Thanks very much for taking the time to write us a review. The unit that you were in is our smallest unit and depending on availability it dosen't cost to much to up grade to a bigger one. No harm in asking if you are not happy. I hope you have a very Merry Xmas. All the best Roy

“Well Located”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

We have stayed at this motel 5+ years each New Year holiday. Great sea views as it is right on marine Parade, and easy walk to town. Important on New Years Eve and useful when my wife wants to go shopping. Always clean and always friendly. BBQ for guests to use. Ice Cream shop across the road, togather with childrens play area. Parking can be difficult with a medium or large car. If weather is wet, large box retail stores close by.

Room Tip: Downstairs are close to BBQ

Gidday Neil,
Thanks for the great review and we look forward to seeing you again this year. You will notice some changes as we have up graded the tvs in all the units and you will have a new Kitchen to work with this year. New bed spreads as well. And I have even improve the door latchs.
Cheers for Christmas.
