Pacific Harbour Motor Inn

( 06-867 8847; www.pacific-harbour.co.nz ; 24 Reads Quay; d $125-195; ) Overlooking the harbour,
this two-tier motel offers well-kept units with kitchenettes and dinky little balconies. A tad
classier than your average motel (black leather couches!). The best rooms face the river
and get all-day sun.

( 06-868 8055; www.emeraldhotel.co.nz ; 13 Gladstone Rd; r $140-280; ) With allegedly the
largest hotel rooms in NZ, the contemporary Emerald revolves around its swimming-pool
area - a reasonable impersonation of a foxy international. Surrounding it are 48 plush
suites along epic corridors connecting various wings (much nicer inside than out). Free
wi-fi; off-street parking.

( 0800 227 826; www.captaincook.co.nz ; cnr Grey St & Awapuni Rd; d from $125, 1-/2-bedroom units from $145/
165; ) It's not the architecture you're here for - 36 rooms strung along a vast carpark -
but the location, a quick dash to the Waikanae Beach on the other side of the adjacent hol-
iday park.
Knapdale Eco Lodge

duce. The mod lodge is filled with international artwork, its glassy frontage flowing out to
an expansive patio with brazier, barbecue and pizza oven. Five-course dinner by arrange-
ment ($85). To get here head 10km northwest of Gisborne, via Back Ormond Rd.
