Super clean place, ocean across the road, very friendly staff. I even got a call to let me know we could check in early if we wanted. Also very important these days: there are no "permanent guests" here.

The motel was wonderful. The parking area is tight but it works good. The staff was awesome, showing us the room and explaining the features of the room. And the next morning she remembered me by first name.

Very centrally located just across from the water while still quiet. The staff made excellent recommendations for local restaurants. Dinner that night was one of the highlights of our whole trip. We’d definitely stay again.

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!
