This motel is very well equipped. It is also clean; well serviced and reasonably priced. It is in an excellent position to access most of the town's areas of interest BUT one of Napier's busiest main roads runs in front between it and the sea and it is VERY busy early in the morning. When we were there they were repairing the road and sleep was impossible after 0545. (There is also a pretty busy road behind it.) Incidentally it was a ten minute walk down the road to a cafe to send an email - none of the nearby motels had functioning facilities. One final point -you should not swim in the ocean in front of the motel - it is too dangerous.

This hotel had a great location overlooking the beach with a large balcony. (There are some rooms in the block behind the hotel which do not have a seaview, so specify your needs!) There is quite a busy road at the front, so a first- or second floor room would be preferable to the ground floor. There is no lift) The room was big and had a comfortable bed. The bathroom was clean and the room was well-serviced. We did find that the decor in the bedroom had perhaps seen better days and was a bit dark, but this is only a personal opinion. The staff were very friendly and helpful at reception. I would certainly recommend this hotel and you would enjoy your stay here.

Stayed here for two nights in mid February 2007.Recently built
in superb location overlooking the Pacific Ocean.Spacious with
kitchen area,bathroom ,bed and sitting area plus a balcony with
table and chairs.The joy of breakfast on the balcony watching
the waves on the shore.A short walk takes you to the delightful
Art Deco town centre.Not to be missed.

Enormous room with spa bath in room and a balcony overlooking the sea. Huge bed (Extra large king-size). Friendly staff, and welcome basket was a really nice touch as were the bathrobes and large towels. Kitchenette is fairly basic but functional. 10 minute walk to central Napier.

Excellent value for money, we paid $129 NZ.

Loads of offstreet parking
