Our accommodation was a penthouse apartment. Friendliness and welcoming at reception, on checking in, showed us around the accommodation, which is just an extra touch that normally doesn't happen these days. Apartment very clean, spacious and good quality utensils etc. Very quiet and walking distance to city center. We have no hesitation in staying there again and would recommend to anyone wishing to stay in Napier.

Really impressed with Motel de la Mer. Modern units with spa. Tastefully decorated. Off street parking. Immaculately clean. Great location being across the road from the beach and close to town. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
