Captain Cook Motor Lodge
We only went for Breakfast on our day of departure and was just expecting Toast and Coffee as requested. So wasn't expecting 2 toasted sandwiches with Eggs and Cheese and some onions. Also not used to eating a small salad for Breakfast so only ate the tiny red onion.

Waikanae Beach Motel
Friendly welcome. Clean room. Fully-equipped. Was able to park outside my room. Handy to the beach, and to a cafe that opened early in the day.

Motel Oasis, Gisborne
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.
