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."

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!"

Absolute beachfront home - any closer to the water and we'd be in wave zone. Beachfront Wainui is a 4-plus bedroom (there is a separate sleepout), holiday house available for vacation rental on one of the country's best known surfing beaches.
We are at the southern end of Wainui Beach in front of the surf break known as 'Stockroute' just five minutes drive from Gisborne city. Sunbathe, swim, surf or simply chill out watching the surf on our sun-drenched front deck perched over the beach. Entertain yourselves and friends in our private BBQ courtyard built to catch the late evening glow.
Make yourselves totally at home in the generous open plan layout of the house. Wainui Beachfront is the perfect accommodation choice for both a romantic getaway for two, or a fun-filled holiday-by-the-sea for large families or groups of friends.
We are a one minute walk to the gourmet Wainui Store that has a great range of food and also has fabulous fish and chips and its very own pizza oven. Across the road is the local Mexican bar/restaurant that also offers food. This all forms a hub of action at Wainui Beach.

Absolutely amazing and lovely people to deal with, the best bnb experience I've ever had! Sharron and Gary went over and above to make sure we enjoyed our stay from the minite we booked to the day we left... They gave us local tips as for things to do with our kids on a rainy day, left us Fijoas and even brought us some eggs! We felt well and truly spoilt, the house is so homely, comfortable and has everything you need! Plus the location is unbeatable!!! I would highly recommend anyone to stay here!

This is possibly the best place we have ever rented. Fantastic location for our beach play, immaculately clean, tidy and well organised. Lovely hosts, suited our family of 4, 2 teenagers, perfectly.
WELCOME to our beach home which is only a 30seconds walk to the white sands of Wainui Beach. Great for swimming, surfing, walking or doing absolutely nothing. Take your coffee or breakfast to 'Gary's seat' in the reserve opposite, which looks South to the old lighthouse and north to Makarori headland.
We value our neighbours - by all mean relax on the deck with a wine but no parties or constant loud noise please.
Our home is private, comfortable, and quiet. A place you can totally relax in:
in summer enjoy the shade of large pohutukawa; cruise in the shelter of the back terrace on the swing seat. In winter our heat pump will keep you warm and cosy. No matter what the weather you'll find a space to retreat to.
We’ll even throw in body boards, learner soft surfboard & a beach umbrella.
Our house is suitable for children. In addition to the beach the primary school playground next door will keep kids happy for hours.
A reserve across the road feels like an extension to our property!
The house is situated on the front of our section. We also have a 1 bedroom cottage at the back, behind a high fence, with its own private entrance. This is permanently rented. Only the driveway is shared.
- "Gary and Sharron Stevenson did an excellent job opening their home up to our family. Their family house right on the beach couldn’t have been more relaxing. Their home was clean, warm, cozy, spacious, stocked with games, and coffee! I enjoyed meeting these Wainui locals and learning about the area from Gary. Sharron was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. Wainui is a special place and I wish I could keep it a secret but writing this review is the best way to express our gratitude for sharing this wonderful place with us. I can’t wait to go back. Mahalo nui!"

Ideal for a weekend getaway, business accommodation, a romantic retreat or a couples surf trip.
Nestled in the hillside, back from the beach you'll have panoramic views stretching across both ocean, citrus grove and established gardens....you'll feel like you've escaped to paradise.
Nearby are the beaches of Wainui, Okitu and Makorori which are home to some of the best surf spots to be found in New Zealand.
If surfing is not your thing, walking, swimming, stand up paddle boarding and kite surfing are also a part of the lifestyle in this friendly relaxed community.
With views of the beach from the accomodation you may even choose to stay in and just chill out.
The ocean view studio is set on a lifestyle block of just over 3 acres, close enough to the beach but far enough away to completely relax and refresh your senses.
Each night you can drift to sleep as you stargaze at the stars twinkling through the high-arched windows. In the morning awake to the epic East Coast sunshine filtering through for your new day.
All of your linen is provided, including beach towels, along with complimentary tea, coffee, nespresso pods, and milk. A continental breakfast can be arranged for during your stay, please enquire about this before your arrival.
When you book for 7 nights or more we will provide a complimentary discount on your stay. Plus your room will also be serviced each week.
We look forward to welcoming you to our spot of paradise.
Please take into consideration that there are stairs that lead down to the room and carparking is available, but it is not directly beside the accomodation.
The bathroom is seperate to the studio, just a few steps across the fairy light lit covered courtyard.
- "Easily lives up to description, scenic, private, tranquil" - "Alex and I had a lovely time staying here over our wedding. It was the perfect little hideaway and so peaceful waking up to that gorgeous view every day. Kylla and Rob were great hosts and provided a delicious hamper of goodies for our stay. We couldn't recommend this place highly enough and would live here if we could :)" - "Beautiful place, great hosts, very nice ocean views. Couldn’t be more pleased. Big bedroom, table 2 chairs, sofa, very private, separate bathroom shower washer. Supplied coffee tea cream cereal bread fruit etc was a surprising and very welcome addition. We rented bikes in town and residence is a bit of a hike up hill but location was well worth it. Overall nicest place we stayed in our month long trip to NZ. Kudos to the owners for a great job!"

We really appreciated the extra little things that were done to make our stay enjoyable, the fire was lit so the house was toasty warm when we arrived, a big bowl of fresh fruit for our granddaughter, and bottle of wind in the fridge for us adults to enjoy. Our granddaughter loved playing in the tree house up the back of the property. The house is well appointed with a kitchen that has everything you could ever need. Views on a cold autumn morning are stunning, with the fog rolling in across the paddocks below. Thank you Craig and family, we’ll definitely stay again the next time we’re back in Gisborne if the property is available."

- "Our family were lucky enough to be able to return to this fantastic property for a second holiday. And once again, Craig and his family ensured we were able to turn up and just chill out. This property is so beautiful, during winter the fire keeps the whole house toasty warm, and the wood and everything you need to keep it going is right there for you (no having to trudge out to some shed in the cold to get more wood). The house is very well appointed with everything you might need. Our wider family from Gisborne love it when we stay out here too as there is so much room for everyone to come visit us. And waking up each morning to the view of the Matokitoki Valley cloaked in early morning fog below you with the sun coming up over the hills is absolutely stunning! I can’t recommend this property highly enough, you won’t be disappointed! Thanks Craig for letting us stay again, definitely the first place we check availability for when heading to Gisborne."

We have a brand new premium purpose built 90m2 two bedroom house available for rent directly across the road from Wainu/Okitu beach. The house was completed end of September 2021.
Enjoy the million dollar views of the Pacific Ocean all the way to the horizon while eating your breakfast inside or outside.
Come and enjoy your break in Gisborne staying in this sought after area right at the beach. Just a short walk to Makorori Headland for outstanding views; you can enjoy great sunrises, great surf and more. Situated around 6-7kms out of Gisborne on the coast road, SH35.
The open plan lounge area has a massive main window with direct sea views of the Pacific Ocean facing SE just across the road. The beach front area is just dunes and Pohutukawa trees, it is not built up with other buildings.
Unlike a lot of holiday rentals in the area our place is fully insulated with full double glazing. It has a brand new open plan kitchen/dining/living area. Own fenced off private deck with bbq and sea views. Off street parking for two vehicles.
The holiday house is built on our property near the owner occupied house.
There is a super comfy new queen sized bed in each room. TV with Freeview and Netflix (not that you'll be wanting to watch much tv with this view), wifi, full kitchen with seating at island, large dining table in dining area, laundry and clothesline, bath and shower with separate toilet. Linen and bath towels provided. It is a full y equipped house. Why stay at a bland hotel or an old bach when you can stay at a brand new house. The house is ideal for 4 guests but there is also a queen sized sofa bed/couch in the lounge area so we can potentially take up to 2 more by negotiation. Please contact us first.
This is a perfect place to come and unwind on holiday. Enjoy a drink on your own deck, kicking back, gazing out over the ocean.
Although this place is a brand new listing we are experienced hosts previously renting out a smaller holiday studio within our house on the same property. We decided to go bigger, better and newer!
This is a non-smoking and no parties property.
Due to previous experiences this place is currently not available for groups attending RnV and is solely for the use of the named group over the New Year period, not extras.

This separate house features its own access, ensuring privacy during your stay. Railway Lane is notably quiet and dark at night. For the best route, we recommend following our provided directions instead of Google Maps. The property is conveniently located near Evans Funeral Services.
You may encounter a very friendly dog and two kids enjoying the space behind the property. If this environment doesn’t suit your preferences, please feel free to contact us for alternative accommodations.

++==CHECK-IN INSTRUCTIONS==++
________________________________________
We will send your check-in details via message at 1 PM on the day of arrival. You can also access the detailed guide through the Airbnb app, which includes photos, instructions, and everything you need for a smooth check-in and enjoyable stay.
________________________________________
++==SAME-DAY BOOKINGS & LATE CHECK-IN==++
________________________________________
We gladly accept same-day and last-minute bookings! To ensure a smooth check-in, please make sure you're familiar with how to access the lockbox. You're welcome to arrive at any time, but please be aware that it may be dark if you check in late. While we provide outdoor lighting, it's not always left on, so we recommend bringing a flashlight just in case.
________________________________________
++==EARLY CHECK-IN REQUESTS==++
________________________________________
Check-in is at 3 PM, but we can notify you if your accommodation is ready sooner. If you’d like earlier access, please contact the Waikanae Beach Motel, and they will do their best to assist you. For guaranteed early access, consider booking the night before, subject to availability. Please note that we need time to prepare the space if a previous guest departs the same day. We appreciate your understanding and will do our best to accommodate your request!
___________________________________
++==LATE CHECK-OUT & LATE CHECK-OUT REQUESTS==++
___________________________________
Guests who have not checked out by 10 AM and/or have not arranged a late check-out will instantly be charged a full night's accommodation. If belongings need to be moved, an additional fee will apply. This is necessary as we require sufficient time to prepare the property for the next guests, and delays place incredible stress on our staff.
Late check-out may be available depending on bookings and housekeeping schedules. Please contact Waikanae Beach Motel before your departure to check availability.
For check-outs after 12 PM this must be arranged and an extra night's fee will apply and must be paid via Airbnb by the night before. If unpaid, housekeeping will be scheduled for the regular 10 AM check-out time to ensure the property is ready for the next guest.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
________________________________________
++==STARTER SUPPLIES==++
________________________________________
All of our properties come with hotel-quality linens and towels, so you only need to bring clothes and any additional supplies once the starter pack runs out. The starter pack includes essentials like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toilet paper, tea, coffee, sugar, and long-life milk, designed to cover your initial needs.
________________________________________
++==SERVICING & EXTRA CLEANING==++
________________________________________
For an extra charge, we offer mid-stay services such as fresh linens or housekeeping, which many of our contractor guests find useful. If you'd like to arrange this, or if there are any changes in your guest list, please contact us at Waikanae Beach Motel.
________________________________________
++==PORTACOT AND HIGHCHAIR==++
________________________________________
Both are available upon request and can be picked up or dropped off by Waikanae Beach Motel. There is a charge for this service, and we recommend organising it well in advance to ensure availability during your stay.
________________________________________
++==CLEANING FEE – WHAT IS COVERED==++
________________________________________
The cleaning fee covers two-three cleaners who refresh linens and top up supplies. If you stay longer, you'll find our properties are much cheaper per night. For one-night stays, we need to pass on the cost, as we still incur the same level of preparation and cleaning as for longer stays. We appreciate it if you can leave cleaned towels in the washing machine for the cleaners to hang in the sunshine, but it’s not required. Please ensure the property is left tidy. Additional charges may apply for excessive mess, such as food scraps or dirty ovens. Thank you for your understanding!

________________________________________
We do our best to maintain the gardens and lawns, but during the summer, growth can be tricky, especially with rain. Our wonderful lawnmower man, Tony, may visit during your stay. If you prefer not to have him around, just let him know, and he will understand. Please don't let this affect your rating of us.
