Ocean Beach Motor Lodge

We are all very aware of cleanliness these days and felt that the motel was a bit grubby. The floor tiles felt dirty & kitchen sink waste disgusting. Didn’t think they any extra sanitising had been done.

Unfortunately I didn't get to see the beach as the weather was dreadful. The motel gave a comfortable nights stop, with everything I needed. Kitchenette was equipped with 2 hot plates, microwave etc. Good shower and lovely toiletries. Comfortable bed, could do with bed side light or more accessible switch (only on one side). Some traffic noise.

Found this place while looking outside of Gisborne, Looks amazing and shown our room after booking in. Your key is your power so just slot it in just inside the door and you have power, Our room was large and had a spa bath. Outside looked onto our deck with a table and chairs, to a paddock where wildlife was plentiful. There was milk but it was them small cartons that nobody likes so we took a walk across the road to a dairy and got ourselves some real milk. Also stocked up on a few things. Oh and one more thing the heater in the room was very small on the wall and cut out regular. It's close to the sea although you can't see it from the hotel, A short walk. I've left a few photos for you to look at, Bad points for us was finding a great place thinking it was going to be quiet we were overwhelmed with the amount of road noise all night long, Trucks especially very loud. It's a place we will defo want to come back to though due to its location but will bring ear plugs. Spa great shower was good but tended to fill the whole room up may have had a small blockage? Tea and coffee also our favourite Cookies.
