The Rocks Motel  

On Napier’s Ahuriri waterfront, minutes from Bluff Hill Domain and a short drive (about 3 km) to Napier city centre and airport. The motor lodge sits beside the estuary and is only about 80 metres from a safe swimming beach and West Quay’s waterfront dining, bars and cafés.

Modern deluxe studio, executive and family rooms mix sleek fittings with character touches like romantic clawfoot baths and relaxing in-room spa tubs in select rooms. Many suites have kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves, pillowtop beds dressed in Egyptian cotton, LCD TVs and complimentary Wi‑Fi. The vibe is contemporary comfort with a few luxe surprises for couples and family-friendly stays.

Work out in the fitness centre/private gym, fire up the on-site barbecue or spread out for a picnic in the lawned areas. On-site perks include free self-parking, concierge and tour/ticket assistance, laundry and ironing services, and secure safe-deposit facilities. Expect easy online access with complimentary wireless internet and room features like coffee/tea makers.

A dedicated business centre supports meetings and work needs, plus complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Concierge and tour desk services help arrange local transfers and group activities.

Room service is available during limited hours and kitchenettes make self-catering simple. BBQ grills on the property add casual al fresco options, while nearby West Quay offers a stretch of waterfront dining, bars and cafés for local flavors and fresh catch menus.
