Shoreline Motel

Napier South

10/10 Excellent

This motel and its sister next door the Beachfront motel are perfectly situated . We took the Seaview option with spa amazing view stunning room very comfortable super clean and well serviced.The staff very accommodating. It’s in walking distance to the main area of town and superb local cafes and restaurants. We could not have chosen better and will certainly revisit. Very reasonable rates we stayed in May and the weather was stunning . We would highly recommend Shoreline motels.

We traveled from Wellington (in fact I had flown in from Melbourne the previous day) to Havelock North so we could attend the Hawkesbay Races - just because we could. Luckily we were able to have an early check-in to spruce ourselves up. We loved the room (actually a 2 bedroom apartment with a private courtyard) & could not fault anything. The beds were to die for, the bathroom huge, everything pristine. Proximity to the village fabulous and managed to make a good contribution to the local...
