Motels in Gisborne, New Zealand

Quite clean! Nice host!

Found this place while looking outside of Gisborne, Looks amazing and shown our room after booking in. Your key is your power so just slot it in just inside the door and you have power, Our room was large and had a spa bath. Outside looked onto our deck with a table and chairs, to a paddock where wildlife was plentiful. There was milk but it was them small cartons that nobody likes so we took a walk across the road to a dairy and got ourselves some real milk. Also stocked up on a few things. Oh and one more thing the heater in the room was very small on the wall and cut out regular. It's close to the sea although you can't see it from the hotel, A short walk. I've left a few photos for you to look at, Bad points for us was finding a great place thinking it was going to be quiet we were overwhelmed with the amount of road noise all night long, Trucks especially very loud. It's a place we will defo want to come back to though due to its location but will bring ear plugs. Spa great shower was good but tended to fill the whole room up may have had a small blockage? Tea and coffee also our favourite Cookies.

The overall feeling is average

Very spacious for family with 3 kids, super clean and close to the beach (roughly about 5 mins walk). The carpark is just in front of our room and easy to load the luggage as well. I highly recommend this to people with kids, very family friendly. We really enjoyed our stay there, thank you!

The Senator is in a great central location – if visiting you can walk to all the restaurants and to town. The owners were friendly and helpful, and it was so so clean. We loved it. The rooms upstairs are the best – great balconies with good views. Large room, good comfortable beds and great rooms. We had a look at these and would recommend them. Sadly, they have stairs to get to them and showers over the baths which I can’t do so I had the adapted room downstairs. A queen bed but still a large room and the shower and bathroom was one of he best set up ones I have seen – the shower rail actually came down low enough for the person seated to use and a separate holder for the shower so it could be low enough – amazing how many places don’t do this – it was excellent. And the water stayed in the shower area, so the floor was not slippery – another issue others don’t think about. Everything was so clean – the shower curtain was spotless and wide enough to stay away from the person in the shower but keep the rest of the large bathroom dry. Small things that matter if you are unsteady on your feet. Well done, Senator. Cleaning was offered every day and friendly – although we didn’t use it some days as lazy days still in the room – but even if we didn’t want a full clean, they would offer to replenish our tea bags etc and changed towels etc if we wanted. Cleaning obviously a strength in this motel. Location was great – for new year’s eve we could sit in our room and watch the fireworks. There was a small outside patio – but as this was virtually on the street, we didn’t tend to use it much – but sat inside with our doors open watching the world go by. The street was mostly quiet so usually not an issue with noise. I was worried about having a room at street level like this, but it felt safe and was good to see what was happening. Just a couple of nights were noisy with a few people– but that was not for long. Café next door and Restaurants are so close – walkable for me on crutches and when I took the wheelchair. Means we could all enjoy a drink when we went out. There is a washing machine and dryer for use and the air conditioning was very effective. Only negative is the shower water pressure was a little weak. I would recommend the motel – especially of you get the upstairs rooms.

The location is very good, there is a parking space in front of the room, and some rooms have a spa pool, which is very comfortable. There are also bath tyrants, and children who take a bath are not afraid of cold. You can also cook by yourself. It's really good.

A lovely spacious room in a very convenient location for the town, riverside walks with monuments to Captain Cook and his cabin boy, museum and beaches. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious. Although breakfast wasn’t included you could order a continental breakfast the day before which was delivered that evening to eat at your leisure the following morning.

After a long drive, this motel was very welcoming. The owner greeted us and asked about our reasons for visiting the area, which was a nice pleasant change. Our room was very spacious and clean, pity we were only there for a single night. Would recommend it to anyone visiting the area, only downside was the constant drizzle of the rain, but some things the owners can't control.
