Quirky motel in a quirky town. Only stayed one night.The room spa was a plus and so was the beautiful view. Room had everything we needed. I would suggest a different placement for the rubbish bins as when we parked near the luggage lift the smell was quite unpleasant and set an unecessary negative image. Overall good , wpuld stay again.

Good stay near the beach and city centre

Stayed 1 night here with my husband and daughter. There's a comfortable double bed and a double bed sized sofa bed with proper bed linens and blankets. We had the ocean view room with spa. We didn't manage to use the spa (large round jacuzzi bathtub) as it has no doors. It is suitable for couples or honeymooners. The location is great as it is walking distance across the road to Marine Parade and the beach; and to the city centre (within 10 mins or less). Behind the motel across the road is a large Briscoes, and nearby is the Warehouse and the Rebel store. Overall, it was a good stay for us.

It was the communication from the property. I booked it last minute and they couldn’t have been more helpful. We had to then add an extra person and again, they couldn’t be faulted with comms and assistance. Defo booking the Nautilus again. Thanks you so much.

Such a lovely welcome. Lady at reception was very friendly, accommodating, and gave us an upgrade for free, as I had booked the wrong room! Really well appointed, clean, great views straight out to Napier waterfront. Parking was straight outside. On-site restaurant had yummy food. Would definitely stay here again

Most dissapointed

Unfortunately the stay was absolutely terrible. We spent a grueling day on the road travelling, fatigued to the limit and needed to desperately rest. However, unruly kids made an incredible noise from 11pm onwards to early morning hours. We tried calling reception 3 different times but kept getting put through to voicemail. I went outside at one point and hollered for some quiet to no avail though. After a night of very little sleep our complaints the next morning was received with nonchalance and a fleeting comment of how everyone complained. Which made sense in hindsight not answering any of our calls and letting it go to voicemail. We found the stay and the demeanor of the staff unprofessional and most dissapointing for a hotel with what's supposed to have a more luxury-end reputation. Unfortunately and ultimately a reward wasted for us.

Please invest in new bed sheets that fit!

Good central location and great view of seafront. Nice balcony, although enjoyment was marred by the smokers that surrounded us. Bed was terrible- uncomfortable and the sheet was far too small- it kept rucking up to expose the worn, bobbly mattress beneath. There was no mattress protector. Towel rail was broken. Rooms need maintenance and beds need some new sheets! Friendly and welcoming check in, parking is tight. Nice big TV and strong shower.
