Overlooking Ahuriri Marina, Anchorage Motor Lodge offers self-contained accommodation with free Wi-Fi, free on-site parking and flat-screen satellite TV. The popular Ahuriri Village is a 5-minute walk away.

Great room (plenty of space and good facilities) with a view over the marina and hills beyond. Balcony for sitting outside to see the view. Location also very good - only 4-5 minute walk to a selection of many restaurants. Having said that, we ate in the Thirsty Whale each night as we were so impressed with it on our first night

Set in peaceful surroundings and offering a year-round outdoor pool, free WiFi and garden views, Gardner Court Motel is situated in Napier in the Hawke's Bay Region. All accommodation includes free parking. McLean Park is 700 metres away.

Location is semi centralised, in a quiet suburb, not far to anywhere at all if you enjoy walking. Can take a less than 15 minutes walk to Pak N Save or Countdown for some supplies if you don't feel like taking the car. Z Station is nearby as well. Love the self contained Queen bed unit with the bedroom on its own. Living room is furnished with a double sofa and small dining table, looking out to Nelson Park through a large sliding door. Alternatively you can sit out there to enjoy a cuppa tea as there's a table and a couple of chairs right outside the sliding door. Kitchenette is very roomy complete with a standalone oven/hob. Carpark is clearly allocated corresponding to the room number. Only one carpark per room which is no problem to me. Good wifi. Shower has good water pressure, just that the basin is a little too small. Owners were away at the time but the motel minder Sheila was an absolute gem. Thank you for providing such a pleasant stay.

Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.

    Right opposite the sea. Easy walk into Napier centre. Napier is just gorgeous with all the are deco buildings and the care they have given to making the sea frontage beautiful. Coloured fountains at night etc. Motel well appointed. Welcoming staff. Clean and very comfortable room. Great shower. Enough mugs, plates etc. Bed very good and a balcony to look at the sea. Although on the road to town, hardly any cars came through at night so peaceful. Off road parking. Would recommend.
