Emerald Hotel
The rooms we were allocated were very spacious, well provisioned, clean and tidy. The only issues we had was having to fill the jug from the bathroom basin and all of the lifts were not working.

Portside Hotel
Room was nice. Main reason I marked the rating down to good was the noise coming from the Port all night, it didn’t stop and the banging was very loud.

The Verandah at Gisborne
I booked the Verandah at Gisborne for myself and family to stay in for my wedding and the house was incredible and charming! Lots of space and bedrooms for a family and a nice large backyard and deck to relax and enjoy a meal. Comfortable beds and gorgous lounge. Highly recommend any family to stay ...
