Overall, the staff was great, but Hanna, one of the receptionists, was exceptional! Her vibe, friendliness, helpfulness and all of her personality was just making me smile every time I entered/ exited the lobby.
Please always stay like that! Izzy

The lovely lady at reception was so friendly and so happy to help us. We were upgraded for the same price which was a great surprise. The unit was so clean and smelt so fresh. Well done to all your staff. We will be back.

The two bedroom family room was a perfect size for our family of 6. Not sitting on top of each other great space. Comfortable beds and lounge chairs. Good kitchen facilities.

There are better places to visit that are much less difficult to travel to than Gisborne, we went because we had never been before so it was good to see the place but wouldn’t go to the trouble to go back.
Roadworks from Napier to Gisborne were many with many stoppages. Long slow winding road. Gisborne to Whakatane however was a very pleasant very scenic drive starting off with Gisborne's horticulture then farmland then through a native forested river gorge. Gisborne's main retail strip looks great and is well laid out, the palm trees set it off so well on a sunny day. The famous Eastwoodhill Arboretum was a bit of a let down, it was a big reason we finally decided to add Gisborne to our trip however it didn’t live up to the online pictures and information we saw of it. Basically it’s just hilly farmland heavily planted out sporadically with various trees and riddled with many tracks colour coded but good luck trying to completely follow a particular track as some markers weren’t there at various intersections. It’s nice for a bit of a hilly tree walk but there is nothing particularly organised or grand about the plantings that looks anything like you see of tree plantings in various Botanical Gardens.

My first time visit to gisborne. Town centre is not big, but it was interesting. I enjoyed the botanical gardens and small museum during my visit. My visit was the middle of winter, but still enjoyable.

I found the Cook Landing Reserve to be underwhelming, It was disappointing in that there was not much about Captain Cook at the site, just gourds.
The Gisborne Museum was worth a visit.
The beaches would have been lovely if not for cyclone Hale.

Sadly economic conditions and the requirements for earthquake improvements has seen a lot of buildings in the CBD close up shops a sad barren appearance. No street performers no music in the air the city council needs to do more to bring the city back to life.
High prices on everything makes it even harder for the locals visitors think twice before buying.
A shaddow of what it used to be. 😢
Loved the room, especially the spa bath. We travelled from Rotorua, returning to Tolaga Bay after a fun-filled weekend, and decided to stay the night in Gisborne, as the trip was long and we began our journey late that afternoon, The break in our trip was a great idea and gave us the rest that we needed. The spa bath was amazing, nice and relaxing, just what we needed. The bed was comfortable, and I loved the pillows. The staff were very lovely, thank you and we will definitely stay again.
Property has one of the most beautiful views in Gisborne.
Very Relaxing and peaceful environment .
This house is in a stunning location, with mountains and sea views. The furniture is beautiful, and it's just a short 15-minute drive from the town centre. It's a peaceful and relaxing place to stay, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and comfort. Whether you're looking to unwind or explore the surrounding area, this house provides an ideal retreat.
Good breakfast with sufficient supplies. Great location very close to the city and most of the attractions/restaurants etc.
Very friendly hosts Herman and Nadene. Their recommendations helped us greatly to quickly jump on exploring attractions in Gisborne easily. We stayed 3 nights and feel could spend easily up to 4 to 5 nights in Gisborne as there are plenty of places to visit from good beaches, rivers, parks, walks, museum etc.
Lovely host. Super friendly and helpful. Able to borrow their spare car at an extra fee which made the trip easier. Nice little spread of breakfast items available complimentary. Lovely porch and good off street parking space outside the house. Free wifi. Streaming sites available on TV (Netflix and Disney plus). Able to do airport pick up and drop offs. Great Gisborne recommendations provided. Overall a great stay!
I love the location. I'm from gisborne and have always loved the beach I have so many memories at this beach and I loved nothing more than waking up to the beach every morning. The room was well cleaned and was cleaned while we were out for the day. The service was exceptional and any problems we had were solved right away. Definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a nice spot.
The location was the best - although when we stayed very few people about so probably bit of a luxury. Did some little day trips around area but loved coming back and just relaxing at the end of day - as room had everything we needed was brilliant not having to go out for dinner and just staying put and enjoying our wee spot.
The friendliness of the owner, when we arrived I asked where would be a good place to have dinner he mentioned a couple of restaurants but later I found he had printed off all the great places with addresses where we could get a great meal, great service.
Clean and roomy with all the basics. Great budget family hotel. Close to the beach but it had a pool too. Small onsite shop at Reception if you needed something. Breakfast available. Large bathroom with walk-in shower. Easy parking. Approachable staff.
We thought it was amazing vet handy to where we needed to go and absolutely stunning when the sun came out. Would definitely recommend this accommodation to all our friends and family if we head back to Gisborne in the future.
It was the cleanest motel/hotel room we've ever stayed in. Very generously-sized bathroom and shower. Comfortable beds with very warm coverings. We really appreciated the biscuits provided, and the bottled water in the frig.
Very nice motel and very good location and with great facilities, spa was amazing after a long drive or after a day of activities, staff even gave the homely feel and even suggested us great places to visit around Gisborne.
