Our favourite motel in Gisborne

This motel continues to be our favourite in Gisborne. We love the friendly, welcoming hosts, the beautiful location next to the river and harbour, the proximity to the best cafes and restaurants in Gisborne, the close proximity to the cities main shopping and the great walks along the river and to the sea and beyond. Our 1 bedroom room was spotless and well equipped with everything we needed for our four night stay. We highly recommend this motel to fellow travellers and look forward to staying there again.
