"Excellent stay in Wainui Beach. The location was perfect, just a very short walk from the beach, which made it ideal for watching the sunrise. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything I needed. Peaceful area and a great place to relax after a long day of driving. I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended."

It’s the perfect location to walk to one of the many great restaurants/cafes in Gisborne. If you’re like walking, this is the perfect spot to start the river, harbour and city walks from.
