Hugh the host was very welcoming and informative, with lots of useful info about the Art Deco streets to visit, restaurants to dine out and the vineyards worth a look (and of course, a tasting!). Hugh's language could be rather colourful but only to be expected from a kiwi and it was all done in the best possible taste! (but... More

I thought this hotel was just excellent. All fittings were high quality, facilities were excellent and the rooms were spacious with comfortable beds. Very clean, well furnished accommodation. We travelled with two kids and with 2 TVs & kitchen facilities, we were all well catered for.

We stayed here in February, 2013. Hugh welcomed me at check-in as if he had all the time in the world. He gave me some great restaurant recommendations and things to do in Napier. The rooms and bathrooms have recently been refurbished and are huge. Good fast internet (although you have to get a free password card from reception). This... More

My husband and I stayed two nights here in the Fall and loved it. Our room was quiet and clean. The owner Hugh was very helpful and accommodating. We enjoyed the spa tub and the kitchen facilities. It was just a short walk down to the beach and pleasant bike ride into town for a look at the Art Deco... More

We spent three nights here and found it to be very clean and reasonably quiet. However, a little attention to detail would not go astray when servicing the unit each day, ie if there are four people then four towels, flannels etc should be left! A small but annoying detail that happened twice, even after our initial request.

We had booked and prepaid a room at Fairley Motor Lodge on a 30day advance rate, based on the very positive description of the motel on its website and overall very good reviews on Tripadvisor. However on arrival we were downgraded to a basic highway motel 200m down the road and unceremoniously turfed out. Comparison of the alternative motel vs.... More

We arrived quite late in the afternoon after a long drive. Our room was very spacious and clean and situated away from any road noise. The position is not near any shopping centres, but does have cafes and restaurants close by. As we are keen bike riders, the day after we arrived we hired two bikes and rode along the... More

Stayed at the motel and the room was very spacious with a nice private area outside at the back. Very clean and well maintained with good facilities and was very quiet. The owners were away and the motel was being well looked after in their absence. The motel is not in the centre of Napier and is in a very... More

Our family group of four adults stayed here back in December and were impressed with this Motor Lodge. We had a family unit which was nice and spacious, clean and comfortable. The manager was very helpful in giving us advice in which streets to go to to look at the Art Deco architecture around Napier. He also showed us some... More
