The Rocks Motel
Room was clean and comfortable, and exactly as shown in the picture. My only criticism is that there was no light in the guest laundry room ... I was doing laundry in semi darkness.

Beach Front Motel Napier
We had a room on ground floor. Looking through parked cars to get a view. No table and chairs to sit out. Awful dubious stains on carpet. Dining chair seats hanging off. Shower door broken. If we had another option of somewhere to stay we would have gone - so pleased it was only one night.
