Top Wainui Hotel Reviews

Alfresco Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was on point I especially liked the little touches, like a hand towel in the kitchenette and milk, coffee & water being replaced daily. My only dislike was on arrival, the Communication about room where to park etc was difficult to understand."

Emerald Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here before when it was a 24 hour hotel. Beautiful, large rooms. Mine was completely updated, because of competition it is now room only and a 12 hour reception. But my suite was huge, cheap.beautiful balcony onto river and just a fantastic family space. Glass lift. I have stayed in portside which is nice but i loved my couple of nights in the Emerald."

Matawhero Wines

10/10 Excellent

"Well appointed clean, modern room with everything you need for a stay. Comfy bed! Very friendly and welcoming staff. Generoua breakfast supplies provided. We loved sitting on the deck enjoying the wine as the sun went down and doing a sunrise walk amongst the vines with our dog. Will definitely stay again next time I come to Gisborne."

Ocean Beach Wainui

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay in Wainui Beach. The location was perfect, just a very short walk from the beach, which made it ideal for watching the sunrise. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything I needed. Peaceful area and a great place to relax after a long day of driving. I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended."
