Surrounded by restaurants and cafes in Napier city centre, Motel de la Mer offers ocean-facing suites with a fully equipped kitchen. Some rooms have a balcony with ocean and city views. Guests enjoy free WiFi access.

The owner is very friendly, and helped us with our queries even at night. Responsive to help messages even before the trip too. The room is extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. There is even a room spa bathtub, something which many facilities do not have. The location is very near the sea, which is of a very beautiful view. It is also about 5 mins away from town which has different shops and eateries. Very convenient to get food.

    Right opposite the sea. Easy walk into Napier centre. Napier is just gorgeous with all the are deco buildings and the care they have given to making the sea frontage beautiful. Coloured fountains at night etc. Motel well appointed. Welcoming staff. Clean and very comfortable room. Great shower. Enough mugs, plates etc. Bed very good and a balcony to look at the sea. Although on the road to town, hardly any cars came through at night so peaceful. Off road parking. Would recommend.

    I spent one night in the property and I was lucky to have a view of Hawkes Bay which was across the road. The room was a double with free WiFi, tv, kettle and microwave which was sufficient. The motel was on the main coastal road and central to the city.
