Motel in Napier

“This place is an immaculately clean sanctuary where the true hospitality and generosity of provisions make a huge difference. By far the best sleep I’ve ever had on the road. Our bed was huge! My partner is over 6ft and he loved it. The sheets are cotton and breathe well. The blankets are cozy and there are loads of plush pillows. The room was quite large and we even had a little private courtyard. I cannot overstate how incredibly clean absolutely everything is - every draw, every edge, every single corner. The staff do an outstanding job. Everything is so generous about this place - no mean corner cutting. From the conditioner to the cutlery everything is good quality and you want for nothing. The bathroom is also good - ours was wetroom style, had great shower pressure and a gorgeous spa - it was extremely well ventilated. We had a brilliant time here and would recommend it to anyone. The owners are really lovely also - thank you Jane and Hugh. Even the art on the walls is decent. The only single flaw would be there were slat blinds on the tall window by the door next to the bed which meant light comes in very easily in the morning and I like blackout curtains to sleep. Other than that - everything is outstanding at a very reasonable price.”

“Superb location central in Napier with beautiful sea views enjoyed from the room or on the balcony. Great bedroom, with comfortable bed. Spacious and well equipped with homely needs and an excellent stereo system. Little touches like coffee, tea and milk. This was one of favourite places we’ve stayed at here in NZ on our travels. Bike trips out to the vineyards etc. Tourist office directly opposite the apartment”

“We were in a bit of a bind trying to find a venue for a surprise party for expecting parents, but Garth came to the rescue with a private room that led to a wonderful outdoor play area for kids, which was perfect for the occasion. Garth and his team were incredibly helpful, and the platters we ordered were absolutely delicious. Kudos to the team for making the event so memorable and special!”

“Awesome location as we were going to the Theatre. Room great. Nice big bed which was extremely comfortable”

“Went for sunny afternoon drink. Great location, very relaxing spot. One of my most favorite spots in Napier. I will be making a booking to stay in their accommodation for my next trip. Great location, within walking distance to shops and other restaurants in Ahuriri. I have always found the staff, warm, friendly and engaging.”

“Nice quiet room,bed comfy. Some of the best night's sleep away from home in a long time. Clean & tidy. Restaurant was great too & price very reasonable. Thank you.”

At Habitat on the Quay, the menu stays burger-led, served with an easygoing pace. A coastal backdrop rounds out the stop. Sides support without crowding the star. Plates offer plenty without tipping heavy.

“Stayed one night. Clean tidy room. Only issue is the walls/doors arent very sound proof. Could hear the neighbour's talking outside in their car which was parked right outside my door. They weren't talking very loud but could still hear them.”

“It is absolutely amazing experience for staying in here. Sarah and Amar are so lovely and helpful!!! Sure I will be back again.”

“My wife and I, and our little dog, had a great 3 night stay in Napier. The dog feeder and water bowl in our room was a nice touch. Hotel modern, clean, comfortable and quiet and close to the places we wanted to access. Pleasant and helpful staff.”

“Great place. Big rooms good for a walk and close to restaurants. In house breakfast good also”

“We had an excellent stay at Quality Inn Napier! From check-in to check-out, everything went smoothly. Staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Room was spacious, clean, and tidy, with two comfortable queen beds. It was also very quiet, which gave us a restful and uninterrupted sleep each night. They kindly provided a portable double hot plate upon request, which was perfect for preparing our own meals. The toilet and bathroom were spotless—another big plus. Location is also a standout—convenient and walkable to Marine Parade, which made exploring Napier easy and enjoyable. Free parking was spacious and felt very safe, adding to the peace of mind during our stay. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would gladly stay here again. Highly recommended!”

“Great location along the esplanade and very close to the city centre. Excellent secure parking for my work van during an overnight stay. There was a large fully fenced children’s playground across the road and the scare park beyond that. There’s a lovely park further along the esplanade. The reception staff were pleasant and the room had everything I needed. A heat pump to warm the room up on a cold winters night and a large shower with complimentary soap and shampoo. The reception staff gave me a small bottle of milk for my morning coffee and they provide a kettle and French press with complimentary coffee for my early start the next day. $159 for a single beachfront room.”

“Friendly staff, good size rooms & warm, comfy beds bonus has a spa & close to everything all within walking distance”

“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”

“A truly breath taking accomodation experience, one of the most incredible places I’ve stayed at. Couldn’t recommend more ✨”

“it was a massive suprise from previous acomadation. friendly. nice neighbours. quite at night much love you deserve five star”

“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.”
