Fern Motel
Should be taken off the market as a Motel. Dirty old fashioned horrible place.

Beach Front Motel Napier
The room was super clean, spacious, well stocked and with an awesome view. Great location, comfy beds, nice staff at reception. Free on site parking which was a big plus. We didn’t want to leave and will most definitely stay here again if/when we return to Napier.
