Couldn’t fault it.
We stayed in the penthouse suite and couldn’t fault it. Had views of the sea, lots of space and the bed was very comfortable. The apartment had great facilities, including a large spa and was in excellent condition. There were free laundry facilities and on-site parking. The staff were very helpful and amicable. One of the best places we stayed during our month on the North Island.

Lovely time in Napier.
We booked last minute so we did not get a direct sea view but the motel overall and our room was amazing. It is owner operated and the fine details are wonderful. Plenty of easy walking and lots of restaurants near by. Would definitely book again!
