Motel in Napier

“We visited Bay Guesthouse with our good friends. The Captains House was perfect for 2 couples. The accommodation is superb with extremely well thought out extras and very high end amenities and furnishings. The place is simply stunning and was far beyond our expectations. The pictures do not so it justice. The views are magnificent. Armando and Marianne were wonderful hosts. Anticipating our every need. From appy’s on arrival to 2 amazing dinners on the terrace and yummy breakfasts— all was delicious With incredible attention to detail. We would love to have stayed longer. We will be back. I could not more highly recommend the Bay Guesthouse. We are discerning travellers and always book higher end accommodation. This is superb. You will not be disappointed.”

“Echoing the sentiments of the other reviews, this experience was superb. The Kowhai site was beautiful, comfortable, and serene. Private, quiet, and wonderful view. The decor and styling was awesome, I loved their taste. They have thought of everything and you want for nothing during the stay. I highly recommend taking advantage of the catered DIY meal and grazing board. Don’t miss out reading up on the history of Clifton and the family- fascinating story! So glad we found this place and recommend 10/10.”

“What an incredible find! Don't let the lack of online booking dissuade you from staying here- it's an amazing place with truly wonderful hosts. Charlotte and Stephen were so welcoming to the four of us (2 couples), from chatting about their journey to Greenhill, to sharing local recommendations, to amazing homecooked meals (definitely take them up on daily breakfast, and you have to eat dinner in at least once!). We felt very at home, and there were no shortage of spots to relax and soak in the beauty of Hawke's Bay. All guest rooms open to the front porch or the back courtyard, they're spacious and well-appointed, with modern bathrooms and homey touches. The billiard room is especially fun, as was the pool area (complete with cedar 2-person hot tub). We loved meeting all the resident animals (alpacas, mini ponies, goats, dogs, cats), but guests with animal allergies should be aware that a few of the fur babies are indoor pets. I wish we could have stayed longer, Greenhill would be the perfect place to get away from it all for an extended visit to the countryside!”

“The large cottage was lovely and very well appointed. Was not lacking any amenities. Our weather wasn’t that warm so didn’t get to sit outside. The king size bed was so comfortable! I enjoyed a bath (both nights) in the separate bathroom. The bathing products were awesome. The cottages are a bit out of the way but such a great coffee place down the road. So you need to drive a bit to restaurants and wineries which we didn’t mind. There are bikes available to rent onsite. Overall this was one of our favourite places we stayed while in NZ. We loved the country feel but the modern look. Annabel had left fresh eggs which we cooked up for breakfast one am. Lovely!”

“Friendly professional service, the best local produce cooked to perfection. Full of flavour and beautifully presented. After lunch, enjoyed the spa with a massage. The right amount of pressure, the warm table and added bonus. Everything was perfection for a special birthday. Thank you x”

“My wife and I came to Napier for a ‘Wine holiday’ to visit the vineyards in the local area. We chose 415 because of its high reviews on google and trip advisor… It was awesome, the rooms have been beautifully renovated and very warm when it was only 1 degree outside. The location was great, close to restaurants and easy to find on the main beach road. Our hosts Tom & Esther were great company helping us find the vineyards we wanted to visit and guide us away from some we didn’t know were closed. Cooked a great breakfast too!”

“Just stayed for 5 nights absolutely in a van. love this park top class quiet central location, high spec facilities, hot, non coin, op showers, amazing shared kitchen and laundry. All round cracking holiday park we will definitely stay here again and again. Highly recommend. Regards Paul and Linda”

“Great room friendly staff and within close proximity to restaurants”

“Sharing a quiet Father's Day High Tea with my significant other could not have been more special. This is not our first experience here, and it won't be our last. Everything is exceptional! The staff are the most professional team, who are at your service covering every detail with quiet expertise rarely seen in other eating establishments. And then there is the food!!.... Thankyou so much for our very memorable time spent with you all.”

“Had an amazing time, we stayed in room 9, which had big bed, air conditioning, coffee machine, smart TV, fridge, microwave and a comfortable bathroom with everything you need, I could tell the rooms were older buildings but they have been renovated and improved to a high standard. Was perfect in every way, and would highly recommended to anyone. Thank you”

“My Wife and I really enjoyed our stay over the Easter weekend , we stayed in room 17, it is nicely laid out spacoius and a really nice in room spa, not even a fire alarm could get my wife out of it. Thank you Fay and Chris for making us feel welcomed. Would have given a 10/10 if these allowed. We will definitely be back .”

“This resort has both accommodation and camp sites. It's so far about the normal It's unbelievable. Amazingly luxurious glamping tents, rooms with every amenity and gorgeous facilities. There are lounges and a heated swimming pool with spa bath, a sauna and I've bath in the ample landscaped grounds, and all next door to the boutique 'village' of Havelock North.”

“If you are coming to Napier, the Art Deco Masonic Hotel is the perfect place to stay. The rooms are clean, fun, and comfortable. We originally only had a booking for 2 days but loved Napier and the hotel so much we booked an extra 2 days at the hotel. Victor at reception, and all the hotel’s staff, are very kind and accommodating. The hotel is in a great location, everything is walkable from it, and you’re right in the middle of downtown art deco center. When we return to Napier we will be staying at the Art Deco Masonic again!”

“Great location right in central Havelock North, making it super easy to explore the area - shops, cafes, and restaurants were just a short walk away. Loved the free gym access, also conveniently close. The stay was overall enjoyable with nice amenities and helpful staff. The only downsides were a bathroom light that annoyingly switched off every 2 minutes and a barely noticeable tapping noise from the wall. Still, the room was dark and cozy, perfect for a good night’s sleep. Definitely a good pick for anyone visiting the area!”

“Dennis was very accomodating for my group of friends and I who made arrangements over the phone for multiple rooms 18 months out from the Mission concert. Very grateful and were all really impressed with the spacious rooms and facilities. Thank you so much again!”

“Great venue with fabulous stage. Dressing rooms and make up rooms are very good.”

“Motoring hotel with beautiful sea views. Hot tub in the room wasn’t our thing but must be fun. It’s been a lovely spot to hang out in Napier.”

“Loved our room. Great water pressure and shower clean well decorated rooms. TV had all the streaming services to suit the whole family. We only stayed 1 night and it was last minute would have liked to stay longer.”

“Just nipped in for lunch and wow, the craft beer selection here is incredible! I had a milk stout, my partner a ginger and mandarin – best drinks ever! The manager was lovely and so attentive, and the bar staff were all super helpful. The food was amazing too – the steak was cooked perfectly, so buttery and tender, it practically melted in your mouth! Can't wait to come back!”

“The room and hotel were wonderful. Beautiful views, large modern clean room and a very responsive staff. It was in a great location with many dining and cute shopping experiences adjacent. The staff responsive and communicative and very helpful when I had trouble making calls on my own. They also provided a guest laundry service which was necessary after biking. I would highly recommend it and would come back again.”

The Kitchen keeps things simple, bistro-style and focused on flavour. Music and pace keep a casual tone. Team members keep things friendly and on task. Plates offer plenty without tipping heavy. Prici...

“Was booked into this place for the first time and omg, what a pleasant surprise. Owner operated, so attention to detail and great customer service. Rooms were perfctly clean and well serviced. Sky TV a bonus. Day 2 was super hot so had a quick dip ⁹in the salt pool. Highly recommend a swim and pool towels are provided free. Loads of parking. Close to town. Had the breakfast on my last morning and it was huge, you'd be hard pressed to beat that and the price. Well deserved 5 stars... will definitely return.”

“These guys went out of their way to get a room for my partner and the kids late at night after another booking fell through. The service was excellent and the room was really good. Highly recommend this place”

“Stayed here for 1 night in a 2 bedroom unit. Excellent place; clean, modern, well equipped and comfortable. Great location and the included breakfast was a bonus! Staff in the office were excellent - welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended.”

“We stayed on the 5th floor in a twin double room. Rooms are clean and the view is delightful. We even found you can open the window when it’s not windy and enjoy the fresh air. Beds are comfy.”

“Hi Mark and Terre here, We stayed 3 nights in the studio. Staff were friendly and catered to our needs, studio met our expectations. All up pleasant break away. Central to everything.”

“Stayed here for 2 nights. Would highly recommend. Definitely stay again. Top marks to the lady managing this premise, very obliging and friendly.”

“What a little gem! For a low price, I got a comfy tiny cabin with access to showers, restrooms, and the outdoor kitchen. Great location, just 20 minutes north of Napier. And the food is amazing, particularly the chicken filo, which I highly recommend.”

“Very accommodating, helpful and caring manager., Arlene. Pointed us to all the places we would find interesting and provided anything we needed. A really great place to stay ”
