Captain Cook Motor Lodge  

In Gisborne’s Awapuni, a short walk from Midway Beach and about 1 km from the city centre. Steps from the Captain Cook Statue, Statue of Young Nick, Gisborne i-SITE Mini Golf and Sunshine Brewing Company — a true motor-lodge base near the beach.

Laid-back motor-lodge vibe with garden views and a casual lounge and bar. Thirty-six air-conditioned rooms feature LCD TVs, satellite channels, coffee/tea makers and private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries and hair dryers; some rooms include kitchenettes and fridges.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free onsite self-parking. On-property perks include a restaurant and bar, barbecue area, library, tour/ticket assistance, room service, laundry and dry cleaning, luggage storage and a safe-deposit box — easy practical comforts and simple seaside access.

Conference centre and meeting rooms available, plus complimentary wireless internet and luggage storage — handy for small meetings or work stops.

On-site dining at Meal Garden and a lounge/bar keep things convenient. Continental breakfast is served (fee applies at Carolyn's Kitchen) and room service is offered. Nearby spots showcase local flavors, including classic fish and chips and the Sunshine Brewing Company.
