If you are a budget minded traveler this is a great place to stay in Gisborne. The units are clean, all kitchen appliances are in working order and you have laundry facilities. They also have a good quality gas barbeque that is available to all guests.
The owners, Grant and Raewyn are very friendly and a wealth of information about events in Gisborne. Grant was so accommodating that he drove us to pick up the rental car.
The motel is about a 20 minute walk from 'downtown." If you don't have a vehicle, you will need to rent one so that you can access all that Gisborne has to offer
We stayed there in May 2016, which is the off season. If you plan to stay between October to January, I would recommend booking in advance.
