Spic and span but:
Reviewed By mike385The hosts were very helpful and friendly. The room spacious and immaculate. But the back is adjacent to the railway depot which has forklifts and other traffic operating at very early hours. The front fence is adjacent to the main road with trucks and trailers also driving past at very early hours. So, if you can sleep through traffic noise you’re ok. If not ——. Handy to Waikanae Beach and a short drive into town.

Three night stay
Reviewed By Lynda BWe spent three nights in Gisborne in late April (to watch the rocket launch at Mahia but that’s another story). I chose White Heron Motor Lodge after looking at the reviews here. I phoned and the booking process was very simple. Very friendly and helpful service from Cheryl Lynn. We got a discount for booking directly by phone, thank you. We arrived around 3pm and checked in. It’s very easy to find on the main road in from the Waioeka Gorge/SH2 road. It’s a very nice motel. Good parking right outside the room, and all rooms are ground floor. We were in Unit 23, a studio. It was spacious and had a King sized bed (we sleep in a King at home and don’t like anything smaller as we’re used to having the space). The unit was very clean and modern. A spacious bathroom as well. On our first night there wasn’t a lot of wind but early evening it was gusty enough to somehow blow down some of the wooden and corrugated iron fence outside our bathroom window. It was making quite a noise flopping around in the wind so we rang the office, and in very short order Huey/Hughie was out there with his tools and took the damaged part of the fence away so that it was nice and quiet again. Many thanks for sorting this out for us so quickly and efficiently. Any gripes? None of any note. There is, as others have noted, no towel rail in the bathroom. However the towels are in the cupboard under the handbasin, and who of us reuses their towels? To be honest, I never do, I like to have a nice clean fluffy towel each day so it’s not a biggie to not have a towel rail. There is no phone in the room but to be honest, how many people use a phone? I do occasionally but I can just as easily use my mobile. I guess if you don’t have a mobile it might be an issue but the offer is there in the room compendium to contact the office if you need a phone. I imagine it’s quite expensive to have phones and landlines in each room, so I’m quite happy to lower the cost for the motel owner/manager by using my mobile if/when needed. We would definitely stay here next time we’re in Gisborne. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Surprising
Reviewed By MCFC1977Booked in for a few nights. Room presentation and lay out was very nice. Good, strong air con, easy parking and comfortable bed. The owners seemed tired and were not overly engaging or pleased to see you. Maybe an off period for them?

Motel Room
Reviewed By Echo293Disappointed as advice is to book directly and will price match with booking.com. Was advised on phone would not price match and to receive the cheaper price would need to book via booking.com. On arrival was advised as since I rung directly unable to price match and should have booked via Bella Vista website. In the room the book advising facilities had a bit about booking directly and they will price match, clearly this is not correct as turned down twice. The room was over priced at 135.00 per night when compared to motels in Napier and Taupo for same trip. Example Taupo large room with full kitchen facilities and spa bath, cooked buffet breakfast for two 139.00 per night (same as pre covid). Room just big enough for the double bed and only one side table. Microwave and some dishes, cups ect provided however these needed to be washed in the bathroom sink being the same space as the toilet. Not hygienic especially with the current climate and emphasis on hygiene. Would be better motel does the dishes or not provide dishes and microwave cooking facilities.
