"Owners are lovely. Great value for money. There are stairs you need to walk up. Despite the mixed reviews. We enjoyed our 3 night stay in a private room. It's basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for. Would definitely stay again."

Only stayed one night due to travel schedule. If my schedule was flexible I would have stayed longer. Great staff and rooms were very comfortable!! Will return when I have another chance.

The room was quite large and the ocean view was outstanding. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable. We were able to walk to dinner, the parks, the main street and the aquarium. We had everything we needed for our 2 night stay.

We stayed for a weekend getaway and everything at this hotel was just perfect. I called ahead to request an early check in and the front desk person was very personable and helpful and left a great impression. The hotel is decorated beautifully and the rooms are spacious with great amenities. Lovely robes and slippers, coconut bath products, towel warmer, wet bar sink and coffee setup - the attention to detail makes this a more luxury stay. There is a great restaurant on site with room service...

Office rep was really friendly and helpful since we needed to do laundry and did not have change for machines. We got coins from him and did the laundry

Nice hotel in Napier New Zealand close to the water. With nice water views good location close to restaurants and shopping. Loved the antique shop next door! Room was nicely appointed comfy bed and great pillow selection... Ring in advance if you require extra bedding for the suite.

Everything about this hotel was perfect - the grounds, the buildings, the furnishing, the food, the staff. The setting is near an apple orchard and landscaping beautiful. The building is over 100 years old and totally refurbished to beauty and comfort. I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy the surroundings.

The Rocks is, surprisingly, a very modern motel with lots of space and good amenities in the rooms. It is conveniently located on a main road, but the traffic is not noisy. It is also located right next to a large tidal nature preserve area with lots of tracks and wildlife viewing. The staff are very helpful and there are several eateries within walking distance. Highly recommended.
