Stayed 2 nights at this lovely hotel. Lovely room, we found the decor pleasant and comfortable bed. Nice outlook from our balcony. We had our room discounted due to being booked out by fellow rodders for the Hot Rod and Classic Car Show. Would stay there again.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit, that looked more like a motor lodge than hotel. Photos on the website are deceiving. Rates are too expensive for what was offered. Very disappointed. The view of the mini golf course made it all seem very cheap.

Unfortunately this review is a bit confusing. When you stay in our 2 bedroom apartments on the second floor your view is of the Marina and out to sea, not over our 9 hole mini golf course which is located on the ground floor. We feel that our photos portray our rooms correctly. We are disappointed you did not enjoy... More

Typical motel with usual facilities, however the views from the bedrooms are amazing. Each room also has a double spa bath. Can't comment on the bar or restaurant as we didn't use these. There are some great places nearby for dinner or just a drink. However, sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine watching the sun go down... More

Basic, but very clean & welcoming. Sitting on the balcony morning & evening was lovely. Napier City is the Art Deco city of New Zealand, the buildings which were rebuilt after an earthquake in the '30s are beautiful to look at.
