What guests think

Harbour View Motel on Ahuriri Beach in Napier NZ with sea view suites earns praise for its absolute waterfront setting, sweeping harbour and ocean views, spacious good-value units, easy parking, in-room kitchens, and direct access to the coastal boardwalk.

Most guests describe rooms as clean and comfortable. Common downsides include dated decor, limited air conditioning or heating, occasional noise, variable Wi-Fi, and many bathrooms with showers over spa baths that can be awkward. Service is frequently friendly with smooth late check-ins, though a minority reported unfriendly or inflexible responses and booking mix-ups. Good for a relaxed coastal stay.

Check-in was quick and easy and there was ample parking. The room was very clean and bigger than I was expecting. The in-room facilities were awesome and perfect for what we needed with a full size fridge, oven, hotplates and microwave etc. The view from the room was amazing and access to the beach etc. was super easy. Will definitely look to stay here again.

This was a lovely spot! Easy to find, right next to the ocean. Great path along the water to walk and run on. Nice spa bath to use and large rooms with views of the water. The shower heads are a bit short if you are tall you will have to bend down/it will hit your chest instead of your head. Nice little kitchenettes as well. Overall great place especially for the price!

Beautiful view, nice area, large comfortable room, friendly staff. The only thing to be careful of is if you have heavy luggage, ask for a downstairs room as there is no lift.

A well presented motel in the harbour area of Napier. Cafes and restaurants nearby and views across the port/harbour. The ground floor unit was spacious and very clean. A bonus was the free guest laundry. A short drive to shopping and city centre. Would stay again.

We stayed for 1 night on way to Gisborne. It was perfect except didn’t see any air conditioning unit nor a fan , it was hot , but nothing like it would be in summer , so that wd be a real concern for me and a deal breaker if no air con . Other than that it suited our needs .

The stay would have been excellent if not for the lack of AC. 30 and no AC is not a good stay. They did provide a fan but at this location AC is a must.

Noisy; next to public car park, with assorted hoons at night; very busy during the day; council workers emptying bins at 5:45am making a racket. If you’re unlucky enough, to get an ignorant and inconsiderate person in the rooms next to yours banging around at all hours. Shower pressure so so; temperature of shower fluctuates badly; going from warm to hot, or cold. Wifi very poor; intermittent, or not at all. Room itself is nice, but doesn’t make up for the rest. Was very happy to leave. These are not complaints, they’re facts.

Spacious, very clean rooms. Well stocked kitchenette and generous supply of tea, coffee, milk. Not ideal having the shower over a spa bath. Without a rail it would be very difficult for anyone with mobility issues. Location right on the waterfront was superb.

Cooperative for a late check in. Travelling from writing with child after work, means for a late arrival. I've stayed with this hotelier the times now and I highly recommend them. Easy, basic and the best location in all of Napier. You can literally step out of your door and wailk straight into the grass and to the beach. Just fabulous.

We loved staying here, a fabulous setting with a large lawned area outside our room with unobstructed views of the ocean. Large, very clean room with loungers outside the patio door, and free parking outside the entrance. There are a few restaurants close by, with pleasant walks by the small harbour, although the centre of Napier with all the art deco buildings is a 10 minute drive away.
