Scott’s place was clean and in a great location. Also very quiet considering it’s opposite the port. All felt secure and some nice touches such as essentials in fridge and great coffee. Beds were comfortable and linen nice. Plenty of room although bathroom is small but it’s not like you hang out there. The only thing I would say regards the shower over the bath is that the sides are very high to the shub so wouldn’t suit the elderly or less agile. The fridge is icy and froze things at the back but Scott is aware of it and onto it. Was fine if food was near front. The hotel staff adjacent were super friendly and the apartment is so close to town and a gorgeous outlook to Kaiti hill. This was my first time in Gisborne and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Scott’s again. His communication was also excellent.
