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."

Oceanview Chalet with Floor-to-Ceiling Windows - Your Serene Escape.

10/10 Excellent

"Fantabulous architectural creativity, lighting shadows cool, sea presence, mighty - breathtaking! Gratitude in abundance. The most comfortable bed ever I've slept. Wunderful to be home..Gisborne Tuesday Night Pub Choir at Smash Palace with the huge fire! New surf club oooosh no winter lunches surfed."

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."
