- "We loved our stay at Portside, it was clean and the staff were super friendly. " - "Lovely staff, very quiet at night. Handy to cafes." - "Very thoughtful touches, well presented and organised hotel for an enjoyable stay. Close to beaches, walkways, cafes/restaurants, and has a great pool. We also meet the local owners who were very nice. A great place to stay!" - "Excellent staff!" - "My kids and I loved staying at Portside Hotel. There is currently construction going on next door but we didn't hear too much loud noise. We had a two bedroom suite. One with queen bed and another with two king singles. The second beroom wasnt designed to fit two single beds but my teenage kids made the small amount of space in the bedroom work. The bathroom is showing signs of aging. There was a squeaky loose tile. The fan in the bathroom had a lot of dust on it. Could be from the washer and dryer in the bathroom. The fan probably needs to be cleaned more frequently. Enjoyed having washer dryer in room as we stayed 3 nights and multiple trips to the Gisborne pool. Lovely cleaning crew and reception staff. Would definitely book again."

- "This is a lovely location, just across the street from a great beach spot. The linens were clean and comfortable. The home was equipped with everything we needed from espresso coffee to beach towels, games & kitchen utensils. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it. Hosts were lovely & loved the presents left behind!" - "Relax@Wainui was just perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults, 9yo and 3yo). The house was very clean and nicely renovated to make it a fresh, light and comfortable place to stay. It was spacious enough for the four of us, and had plenty of space/storage for our belongings. The outdoor shower was great for rinsing off after visiting the beach (access directly across the road), and the supply of beach towels were appreciated (not something we had room to pack coming from overseas). The weather turned while we were staying in the area, thanks to Cyclone Hale, but Andrew’s place was quiet (the rain and gusty wind could barely be heard) and the books, games and puzzles provided a pleasant distraction. Andrew was very friendly and easy to communicate with. The chocolates and wine on check-in were a thoughtful touch. Thanks for your hospitality, Andrew!"
