Albatross Motel  

On Napier’s Ahuriri Wildlife Estuary, overlooking walkways and cycleways and just a 200m stroll to the safe swimming beach at Westshore. About 3 km from the city centre and close to Bluff Hill Domain Lookout and the botanical gardens. A family-friendly motel within easy reach of local restaurants and bars.

Thirty-five fully equipped units range from standard and deluxe studios to deluxe one- and two-bedroom suites, many with kitchenettes (fridge and microwave) and LCD TVs. Expect clean, comfortable rooms with estuary views, easy coastal vibes and simple, welcoming service. Onsite outdoor pool and a spa tub add a relaxed touch to stays for families, groups or corporate travellers.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool or unwind in the spa tub. Rent bicycles to explore the estuary walkways, fire up the barbecue in the picnic area, or use the onsite laundry and free self-parking. Wake up to estuary breezes and quick access to a safe swimming beach.
