It was ok... for the money we thought we would of got more... a bit dated but there was a lovely wee retired lady at reception that made it all a bit nicer!
The outdated and not as clean as you would expect
Clean Room, I arrived late so the owner/manager (I'm guessing) turned the heat pump on before our arrival so that the room was warm
Great location, comfortable beds, clean and good sized room, air conditioning
Located very close to town (and a Brewery!), room was comfortable and the facilities were great. Very quiet area and also close to the beach. Would stay again for sure.
Cosy, central location, friendly staff
No complaints about the property
Fantastic location, great value for dollar and lovely service. Gisborne had a heat wave so it was nice being across the road from beach for a quick and easy cool down.
Perc coffee, quiet nights, very comfortable bed. Good air con!
Bedroom was a bit tight for bed size!
Good pillows, water pressure, great hosts, comfy beds. Room smelt good.
No reception on Tv due to storm.
Loved the view of the sea from our room.It was great having a separate bedroom.
It took us a while to set up the TV
Nice sized unit, has a beach Bach vibe that i loved very cute. Clean services comfortable beds had such a good sleep.beach acsess across the road was great,nice café also very close by, walking distance. Friendly welcome by the lady at reception. Cleaning also very accommodating.
There was a weird smell on entering the unit a musty damp smell. The couch which is also a pull out bed had a suspicious smell too.
The staff were so friendly and let us chill relax and enjoy times together the our mates while looking after our room and space. While being all muddy they were happy to hose us down, and were really lovely to talk to.
Wonderful staff. Really friendly and accommodating. Super clean units
Maybe a bit dated and expensive, but busiest time of the year
Location, close to beach and town, quiet
Great staff especially the receptionist. Very close to beach and town centre. Would definitely use again.
