"Kitchen was clean and well equipped. Very central location"

"Had a very pleasant two night stay and our host was very personable, helpful and very friendly. Our king bed was comfortable and linen was spotless. Motel is walking distance to the town centre and across the road from the beach"

"Carnie and Ivan were wonderful hosts. They welcomed us and made our stay very special. They were exceedingly gracious and helpful.The accommodations were exceptional for two people and the location above the beach is spectacularly beautiful.Highly recommended."

"Everything was quick & easy.."

"First let me say the staff were very friendly and pleasant. My room was large and sparse. It was in need of some refurbishment. Carpet was worn and tired. There were plaster marks on the wall where damage had been fixed but not painted. There was a lot of road noise and when the traffic started at 5:40am I was unable to sleep. The bedroom was clean and tidy and the bathroom had been renovated and was large, nice and fresh. The hotel is well located in central Gisborne. The hotel has an odd layout that makes the experience of getting around unusual. The parking situation is effectively offsite and all a bit odd. All in all just a bit lacking in upkeep and cohesion. "

"Room was clean and tidy, staff were friendly, pool was great temperature and they provided pool towels for us. Location was perfect for what we were after"

Thank you 🙏 "

"It was all very good the host and amenities."

"My favourite was the ground-floor room facing the city — peaceful, immaculate, and beautifully presented. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a great night’s rest. The staff were warm and welcoming, and reception was very accommodating, promptly providing swim towels when needed. The pool area was clean and refreshing, adding to an overall relaxing stay. Nga mihi ki nga kaimahi o Portside Hotel! "
