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.
The room wasn't as clean as it should have been toilet bowl hadn't been cleaned and couldn't sleep in the bed. Cleaner was not nice so customer service was a huge let down
No room key so was given master key to use overnight. Lights not working. Smoke alarm hanging from ceiling with no battery. Tatty bed linen. Out of date sky guide and no instructions for tv. Oven not clean. Air conditioner plug imbedded in hole in wall behind bed so not able to use. Room unbearably hot.

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.
Handy location to where I was heading for an overnight stay

Nice motel in small town
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.

Very good! It was tidy, it says there is airport transfers available, however, that wasn’t the case. Other than that the owner was friendly
Motel was perfectly ok for our one night stay.The weather was extremely wet so we only stayed indoors.

Friendly & helpful staff, rapid WiFi, ultra thick bath towels, oven with stovetop, motel is rather dated but very clean, mattress a bit sunken, no hangers in closet, small flat-screen TV high up on shelf, white compact fluorescent bulbs, no "auto" mode on heater-a/c unit, large trampoline for kids in courtyard.
The place was adequate for what we needed. Tidy and pleasant

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.
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.
I would advise any traveller thinking about staying there to reconsider there wasn't even any hot water for shower a thourgy depressing experience and a waste of money
