I didn't think I was going to like this accommodation, because I normally don't stay in motels. However, my teenage daughter and I were comfortable and had everything we needed, including a kitchenette and laundry. Check-in and check-out were easy. The beach, a park, and the city center were walkable distances. Although we didn't eat there, there was an on-site restaurant, which is very convenient. We were pleasantly surprised with our stay.

Perfect accommodation for the night, clean, sky go, ample parking, had a option for dinner & breakfast so no need to leave the premises, staff were very friendly & helpful.

The Motel is located on a main road heading to the wharf, so you do get a lot of trucks going past, bar that I can't fault the place.

If it was slightly cheaper, I’d say’ cheap and cheerful’ Friendly staff, quite noisy with logging trucks passing by from the early hours. Overall it served its purpose.

Clean and tidy , room to improve

Booked online , upon arrival the receptionist was less than impressed that we did this and told us that our room would be the closest to the road , not a drama as we had saved $100 on the walk in price ! The room was tidy and the bed was great , the toilet door was hanging by one slider and was impossible to close and traffic noise was tolerable, just ! Not the worst stay however next time in Gisbourne we will be staying elsewhere

The shower was over the bath and there was no safety rail for getting in and out. Elderly people and children could easily slip and hurt themselves.

Good room with a comfortable good sized bed.
A few very minor things did not work (like a light over the sink) but we notified the property as we left to ensure they are repaired for the next guest

Not good..

The Captain Cook motel looks impressive on the outside, but the inside of my (budget) unit was anything but... The room was sparsely furnished . A shelf on the wall was the desk, a little foldaway table, something that looked like a broom cupboard was the wardrobe, and a microwave oven was the only cooking facility. The bed was comfy though. The room was not worth what I paid for it !

The room was very small and not really easy to make a cup of tea etc. The noise of trucks was awful.
The parking was all over the place!!
Staff were lovely though and the room very clean.
