Our host, Caro, was super nice and gave us a great room and restaurant recommendations. Room was large and comfy. The terrace at the back of the room was a nice surprise.

Just 2 minutes' drive from Gisborne city center and beaches this 4-star motel offers modern accommodations with free WiFi.

A fabulous stay for the night we were in Gisborne. Lovely, friendly and helpful hosts - great communication beforehand too. A breakfast included was a great surprise - muesli, milk, orange juice, toast, spreads, butter, peaches, etc. Very tasty and a generous touch. Much appreciated. Very, very clean, well equipped for a small studio. Easy parking. Comfortable bed - had a great night's sleep. Perfect for a quick overnight stop in Gisborne.

Offering free unlimited WiFi, Motel Oasis is just 5 minutes’ drive from the famous Wainui Surf Beach and the city of Gisborne.

The spa was lovely after a hard day of work, surrounded by the palm trees was very nice. Slept well on the bed.

Teal Motor Lodge features self-contained apartments and studios with free Wi-Fi and free private parking.

The place is very neat, clean. Bed sheets however was not straitened after my first night stay onwards. They supply one of the nicest filter coffee sachets I tasted in a long time.

Located on the water's edge, Portside Hotel accommodations with a private balcony and views of the harbor or Gisborne city. The hotel features free Wi-Fi, a lap pool and a fitness center.

I stayed in the two-bedroom apartment on level 1. Room 1 had a Queen bed and large windows (doesn't open) however there is a heat pump if you need the aircon on. Room 2 had x2 single beds with a door to a single sized balcony with great airflow. Full sized kitchen with everything you need as well as a 6-seater dining table. The lounge has flat screen TV and sofas etc, with double sliding door out to the balcony (carpark view) outdoor table and chairs. The bathroom has the usual shower, toilet, toiletries, towels etc, along with a washing machine and dryer which was very convenient. There is a outdoor swimming pool at the back. You will have to ask for the time it open and close as the door to the pool is locked at night.

    This motel had all the facilities we needed, a convenient location with a great view along with a very well thought out interior design revamp in this interesting older block of motel units, they have great vision.

    This boutique B&B is extraordinarily well presented. Everything works, it’s close to the town centre, and it is absolutely stunning in its style. It is spacious and private and the management is always around if needed. We have stayed at a lot of these places and Cedar House really .impressed us.

    Stunning views comfortable bed and a superb locally produced breakfast made for an excellent relaxing stay. Lee was an excellent friendly hostess providing good directions for finding the property and alerting us to the unmade road access. We didnt find this a problem as its a lovely part of rural New Zealand and just needs taking slowly

    Gisborne is a lovely place to visit and this motel is close to, though not on the beach. The room had been renovated in a funky 'mid-century' way. The manager ( on his first day at the property!) was lovely and helped us so much when I discovered I had left my favourite coat at the motel. He was very patient and accommodating and arranged for the jacket to be posted on to us.

    Well designed room with a balcony and a lovely view of the Port, harbour and Kaiti Hill. Pool area was lovely and free coffee in the lobby a treat. Friendly, helpful staff. Great location within walking distance of town and the beach.

    Lovely apartment with everything you need. I was traveling for work, but two bedrooms is a real bonus if I was traveling with family, so I'd book again for a holiday. Very close to central city for meetings and cafes, shopping, but beach location is great switch off after a busy day. Incredible views and boardwalk within 100 metres of apartment. Great to have kitchen, lovely bathroom, everything very new and very well designed. Top class accommodation and super friendly welcoming staff. The real Gizzy experience.
