Hotel & Motel & Hostel in Napier

“Lovely people doing a great job. The best !!!”

“They are very helpful to me as I'm in one of there homes”

“Best working hostel in NZ! Rob (manager) goes well out of his way to get you a job and makes you feel at home. I ended up staying for around 7 months and during lockdown! It is a working hostel so everyone stays long term and has a job. Made friends for life here and have so many amazing memories.”

“We stayed here for business purposes and the room was clean and decent layout in the one bedroom air conditioned unit. Seemed very affordable for what you get. Would happily stay here again.”

“Lovely people showed me my room, was solo tenant, clean and tidy room, felt homie for me who is born and raised here in Hastings but I live in Melbourne. Always a nice fresh room daily. Stayed here for 5 nights I fully recommend this place and I will be definitely be staying here everytime I come home Thankyou for having me. ❤️”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The room is very large, warm and very quiet. I was able to work and to rest. The motel is walking distance to the center and to the beach. The bathroom has a large spa bath. I highly recommend this motel”

“Good location which is quiet despite being on main road. Friendly staff. Very clean, comfortable well appointed rooms. Can recommend and will come again. But keep it to yourself!!”

“Great place to stay we had a cabin that was perfect for our trip to Wellington nice family atmosphere very quiet in evenings”

“We had a lovely stay, staff is friendly and most of all our pets are welcome, good rest at night for busy days. beds sleep nice and comfy and hot showers are also lovely. Shared kitchen always clean and tidy.”

“This was our first time traveling with our dogs. We were made extremely welcome and accommodated from the first phone call. Rooms are nicely appointed and kept in great condition. Staff were helpful and scruffed the ears of my good boys. The service provided turned our trip into a memorable dog-cation. Saved as our 'go to' from now onwards. Thanks Team Ace High”

“Reading some of these reviews I find really unfair. We had a great stay for 1 week. There were atleast 20 people staying in the hostel at this time and never once did we struggle to find somewhere to cook or chill out in peace. Multiple showers and kitchens. Comments on the clenliness of a hostel is more a reflection on the people staying there than it is the management- it only takes a couple minutes to create a mess. Jason the manager really is a top guy and went out of his way to help me out after an unexpected thing popped up meaning my plans changed, again I find comments criticising him completely out of character and undue. Thanks for having us, would have happily stayed for a couple months to work longer. Jack & Tara”

“The Rotten Apple is the place to be in Hastings. Together with the Common Room the best place! Great atmosphere and nice common area. And the best hostel community Ive ever experienced. So many memories and friends I found here. Definitely my best part in New Zealand so far. If you need an awesome place to stay and work and have the best parties on the weekends, go here!!!!”

“We stayed for one night only but we wished we could stay longer. This motel is better that many hotels and we loved it. Friendly staff ,Clean and beautiful view and everything to make your stay feel welcome. Thank you Beach front motel you will see us again soon.”

“We had a fantastic stay at Marine Land Motel in Napier! The room was spotless, spacious and well equipped, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Perfect location right by the beach and close to cafés and attractions, yet quiet at night. Highly recommend for a comfortable, hassle-free stay!”

“Amazing helpful owners absolutely love our stay here very kid friendly I would highly recommend this place to all great people great environment”

“A great place to stay. Had 1 BDRM unit. Very tidy, clean and well presented. Slept the night away. Beds very comfortable and loved the pillows - best sleep ever. Pool was fab. Booked for one night 2 adults 1 child and was able to have extra child free of charge but did not take up offer. Owner very helpful and easy to talk to. My husband enjoyed onversing with him. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will definitely return.”

“We loved our 1960's style motel stay. Super clean room, plenty of space, very comfy beds n pillows, quality linen. Loved the fully equipped kitchen and amenities. Pool was clean and staff really friendly. Parked right outside our room. Shower pressure a bit slow but not a problem. Would stay again if we return from Australia. Thank you”

“I enjoyed my stay here over three weeks. Nice and friendly and tidy clean unit. definitely will use again in the future”

“Good motel but fully booked for the next few years”

“We stayed at the Apple Inn Motel in Hastings for 2 nights over the Christmas–New Year period while attending a funeral in Hawke’s Bay. With everything booked out and only 1 day to organise our accommodation our options were extremely limited. The only room the Apple Inn had available was a studio, which wouldn't have been our first choice, but we had little alternative. On the positive side, the motel was exceptionally cheap, especially given the time of year. The Wi-Fi was excellent and completely free, which was a pleasant surprise. The lady at reception was absolutely lovely - very friendly, welcoming, and more than happy to help. Don’t be put off by some of the low reviews here. The Apple Inn is an underrated rough diamond that offers outstanding value for money, particularly if you’re looking for something affordable and practical during a busy period.”
