The room we booked at the motel was not available; we were lead to a cottage a few blocks away. It was a better place and was an upgrade, and the staff person was wonderful. However, there was no bbq there as was listed, the pool listed had been closed for over year (it was too cold for swimming that day anyway), and it was questionable if the sheets on the bed were clean as they were covered with lint. Still a very nice stay as new sheets were obtained and the bed remade, and it was a lovely cottage. We can't rate the actual motel, just our experience.

The staff was incredibly helpful, kind and wonderful. Staying at this motel made my week and i had never been so happy to sleep in a bed before in my life. The property is beautiful, the rooms are cozy and comfortable and clean and i cannot stress enough just how amazing the staff are. I absolutely will recommend this place for anyone wanting to stay in Wairoa.

A comedy of errors didnt get our stay off to a good start. The motel is quite worn and the room could do with a good coat of paint and the ripped dining chair could do with a replacement plastic cover. On the plus side, the room and bedding was clean and quite spacious and it was a quiet location at night. Would we go back again ................. No, we would look for somewhere else.

They had accidentally double booked us, but promptly found us a room in a nearby motel for the first night. The next two nights were back in the Wairoa Motel.

A decent night's sleep

A good basic motel, if a little dated. Comfortable bed. Wairoa is not a great town although it is in a beautiful setting. Don't count in finding anywhere decent to eat out. The hotel has a pleasant little swimming pool.

Wairoa getaway

The room was good. Very clean. The internet was sketchy. Quiet place close to everything. Asked about a nice place to eat and recommended the Vista restaurant. He was quite right.
