Motel Oasis, Gisborne

10/10 Excellent
"I was made welcome by Hannah. The room was spacious, clean and warm with comfortable beds. Towels, tea, coffee and hot chocolate were provided along with fresh milk. There was a microwave and small fridge in the room with a supply of crockery and cutlery. Everything was as good as may be expected for the room rate."
