The hosts were very responsive and greeted us late in the evening when we had arrived. They also send a check in message that I had missed in the chat- clearly explaining how to access the key for the room etc.

Easy to find, and there are stores and restaurants nearby. The main attractions are also not far away. The owner/manager is helpful, nice and knowledgeable about Gisborne. Our room was a good size, and it had everything you need.

Gisborne is a lovely place to visit.

Gisborne is a lovely place to visit. Had a wonderful meal at the Gisborne Cossie Club, value for money. People very friendly. Went for a drive up to Kaiti Hill. Went out to Okitu beautiful spot. Definitely will go back.

The hosts were incredibly busy, but took time to arrange another room for us. This is a very old hotel, with all the maintenance issues that you can expect. There is no meals service, so guests need to bring there own food and drink or get some from the very small village store. Guests can use the full size catering kitchen.

There is limited accommodation in Hicks Bay and we knew the hotels was a bit run down before we went but looks like maybe they are doing it up. Staff nice and friendly and the room was nice and clean.

Lovely place to go when the weather is good.

Lovely place to go when the weather is good. A really good selection of beaches to choose from. Restaurant selection is surprisingly good for a mid sized NZ town. Nice saturday farmers market is a real treat and the wineries in the district are the icing on the cake. Great place to go for those who are into surfing and surf related activities.

Te Puia has nothing to offer.

Te Puia has nothing to offer. The only shop in town was closed. The hotel bar was closed, dining room and lounge were closed. No food or drink on offer. The hot springs The town is known for consisted of one tepid pool behind the hotel which was filthy and not even hot. All in all very disappointing stay. The hotel rooms were clean and comfortable, no issue there. And the bathrooms were clean and functional. It's just a sham there was nothing else on offer to make it a stay rather than just a place to sleep

Not a lot to do in Hicks Bay itself, walk to old wharf is interesting. In the area there is the East Cape Lighthouse (lots of steps but worth it), most easterly point of New Zealand. Also Manuka honey/oil shop between Hicks Bay and Te Araroa which has a nice cafe as well as selling their products.

I like how everything is all in a near by distance from the motel we stayed at and also the food around the area were delicious. I don't like how everything is closed at 10pm, I went out to buy some coke and some snacks and nothing was open. But other than that I loved my stay here in Gisborne. I would definitely recommend this town/city to anyone who is traveling on a short or long trip.

This was more hostel like accommodation than hotel.

This was more hostel like accommodation than hotel. Small room but clean & tidy apart from very dirty windows -a good clean & repaint required. Bathroom refurbished & great shower but once again windows the same as bedroom. Advertised pools were one pool which unfortunately was so extremely hot you could not get in ! Hotel frontage needed a clean up as did the "foyer" -a very dirty fish tank does nothing for the place

There is really not much to do at Hicks Bay. It is a good, mid-point stopping place for a trip around East Cape. The nearby village of Te Araroa was more interesting, but there’s not much to do there either!
