Liked ...Location, parking and price. Had an older apartment a little on the tired side. Everything was serviceable, coffee machine was a bonus. Couch was a touch close to the ground for me,but OK. Balcony made a noise when we went out , we erred on the side of caution and stayed off it. We enjoyed our time in Gisborne and would stay again.

A true retro motel from the 1960s. Clean sheets, a comfortable bed, and a peaceful setting away from the main drag. Close to the harbour walkway, great for a run. Like many NZ motels, it would benefit from a full modern refurbishment to meet today’s traveller expectations.

Lovely receptionist. The room was cold, the aircon/heater didn't work. Only had a small heater which only heated half the room. Not enough towels, only had 2 for the family of 5 people that stayed the night. I paid $280 for a cold room with insufficient heating. Not much parking space either. Will not be staying here again.

Nice quiet area, over the road to a boardwalk along an extensive beautiful beach and bay. Our 2 bedroom Unit was spacey, clean, had all the extras, great kitchen even plunger coffee. And the best part was the privacy of the Unit.

I can't thank Waikanae Beach Hotel for the wonderful and comfortable stay I had at this property. Staff were kind and helpful including the housekeeping provided me with there warm comforts. I originally booked for 5 nights but added 2 extra nights that I needed while I was in Gisborne , Thank You all very much
