well located for shops waterfront and restaurants

A friendly reception and given a choice of units was a good start. Whilst the unit was small and the furniture well used, it was clean, tidy and had everything you needed. (The name \"Bella Vista\" was a bit of a stretch, affording views of Noel Leeming and the RSA from the front, though maybe upstairs back units had a view of the sea. But you wouldn't mark it down for that, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay)

Disappointing with the room

The motel is in a good location to town and the beach. However the room is extremely small.Our door to the bathroom got stuck once closed and it was lucky that my partner was there to let me out as I could not get the door open from the inside of the bathroom. When we told the owner in the morning he said he knew about the problem but that no-one was able to fix it.I was annoyed that he did not mention the problem to us on check in or that we were not given a non faulty room as the motel was not fully booked. Also prime TV channels meant free- view TV and not sky. Would def not stay there again.

Bella Vista Napier is Ok but no longer for me. Location is great, room was clean. Disappointing was check-in. Owner suddenly wanted to charge 1.5% on top of agreed price for payment with credit card. For me this is like saying that the motel does not see me as welcome guest but instead as a cash cow. Sorry, but no more Bella Vista for me.

Best bed ever!

We made a quick decision to stay in Napier for a night. This motel is perfectly placed for downtown restaurants and walking along Marine Parade.
It was a very hot night, but there was a fan, which made it bearable.
Then the bed....oh my gosh, this bed is the most comfortable we have slept in for a long time...just about better than our own! Well worth the trip, just for the bed!
Charming hosts and very friendly. Would happily stay again.

We booked into this motel as the one we patronise, normally, was fully booked and after trying numerous other motels, we found that Bella Vista had one, free room. When we arrived and realised that the room was upstairs, this posed a slight problem as my husband has difficulty with his breathing and wasn't looking forward to carrying our baggage upstairs. The young man at reception came to our assistance, immediately, and carried everything up for us, and offered to bring things down to the car when it came to checking out. This is a service which we have never had before in any motel, and we were truly grateful. All the staff were helpful and friendly and the room was clean and comfortable, which made for a pleasant stay.
